A place where you wanna she wnd every weekend
Pros:

I am a tour guide, I booked this place for the second time for my 18 Latvian group.
I myself and everyone enjoyed the place, everyone talked about how the beautiful view from the accommodation, how clean are The rooms, well decorated, smells good, clean and has positive energy.

The staff are truly working from their heart, very gentle, professional and just the best.
Soufian and all the boys working the Ferme made Ikalimo good team,

We had the best Salad, Tagin and Dessert for dinner, very authentic and rich breakfast,

Highly recommended

A more traditional feeling stay in the mountains, yummy food (no one got ill here), super friendly with space for kids t
Pros:

We loved being in the mountains. Peaceful and quieter. Accommodations are a good way from the road although there are many steps (staff are amazing and carry all your stuff!)
Felt like a mix of international and local tourists.
A few animals, different terraced gardens and play areas (bring a ball!) for kids to stay busy. They can organise activities but we didn’t do this.
Host was super kind and helpful. French or what’s app in other languages.
Food was fabulous. Limited traditional menu but delicious fresh and hot with great service.
Rooms has air con so kept warm at night.
In winter perhaps there could be another heated social area eg to play games at night? The seating area was too cold in February.
Helped us organise transfers to Setti Fadma, airport etc and all efficient and stuck to agreed price. Felt safe with kids.
Thank you for having us.

Cons:

Not much. I’m not sure what we’d have done if we stayed longer? Perhaps 2 nights is enough with day trips out? Perhaps there are local hikes that could be organised? A warmer social area (outside the dining room) would perhaps be a good idea in winter for evenings?

Good value for money for big groups.
Pros:

The property has a lot of activities for kids, ours loved playing with little puppies, the rooms are quite big and the staff was exceptionally friendly.

Cons:

The property itself is a little warn out, there are quite many stairs to climb (the staff helped with suitcases) and the area is quite remote from anything.

Excellent place!
Pros:

We had a lovely two days at Ferme by Ikalimo. The personnel, the rooms, and the overall atmosphere were excellent. It is a truly beautiful place with spotlessly clean, well-designed rooms. The staff were absolutely amazing kind, welcoming, and always ready to help, which made our stay feel very special. I highly recommend this place. If you want to feel truly special, just visit Ferme by Ikalimo.

Very unusual place, spectacular situation wedged into the side of a mountain gorge with such kind service from really wo
Pros:

This is an extraordinary place, perched on the mountainside above the river. The approach is up a bunch of stairs (don’t worry they carry your bags for you like magic), and then you enter a farm built into the land in a series of terraces. It’s rustic and very unusual. A great experience and very unlike any other place I have ever stayed. Soufiane and the other staff are incredibly kind.

Cons:

We came in winter and it is chilly! The rooms are warm, but dining room not really heated and generally everything is quite rustic, so you just need to come prepared with the right gear. Bring layers and proper warm clothes and then you can enjoy!

A Beautiful Escape in Ourika
Pros:

We recently stayed at Ferme by Ikalimo in the stunning Ourika Valley, and it was an absolutely lovely experience. The setting, the hospitality, and the atmosphere made my stay peaceful and memorable.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and genuine care. The staff made us feel completely at home, and the place itself is full of charm — surrounded by mountains, gardens, and the soothing sound of the river. Our room was cozy, beautifully decorated in a traditional Moroccan style, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

The food was fresh and delicious, full of authentic Moroccan flavors.

We slept very good !!!

Cons:

One small suggestion I’d like to make, from the heart: I recommend keeping the area near the water clean from any plastic bottles or waste. This place is so beautiful and natural that it deserves to stay perfectly preserved — and I believe a little extra care there would make it even more magical. 🌱

Pros:

C’était un endroit calme, plein de nature, beau et très propre. Le personnel était d’une élégance remarquable et le service impeccable. Tout était excellent, d’une beauté exceptionnelle et imprégné de culture marocaine. Cependant, je ne le recommande pas aux femmes âgées ou aux personnes ayant des difficultés physiques, car il y a beaucoup d’escaliers à monter, ce qui peut être difficile pour elles."

Great stay at ferme by ikalimo
Pros:

We just had a great 1 night stay at ferme by ikalimo with our family of 4 (including a 2 and a 5 year old). The staff were great, very helpful, location was lovely in the valley near the river and the on-site animals and playground provided the kids much enjoyment. The food was very good also - we had a lovely tagine. There are a lot of stairs being on a valley side but the staff will carry your bags to help. The family room was lovely and very comfortable, would definitely recommend.

Brilliant Host
Pros:

This was a beautiful stay in the mountains to see Ourika valley for us, I can't recommend highly enough! We were a group of 2 couples and drove from Marrakech. Abdul and his team were amazing - they were attentive, kind and friendly and made everything easy for us during our stay. He is a brilliant host and rightly proud of Ourika. The food was great and the whole stay was great value for money. The photos don't do the property justice - we chose to stay at the mountain riad and were very happy with this.

Cons:

There was nothing - we only would have liked to stay
longer!
