A wonderful stay in a beautiful location with friendly staff
Pros:

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location. The surroundings were stunning, the food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to return in the future.

Cons:

The only downside was that there was no Wi-Fi reception in the room, which was a bit inconvenient.

Beste diner en ontbijt van onze rondreis!
Pros:

Een prachtige accommodatie net buiten Aït Ben Haddou. Alles is met veel smaak ingericht en overal zijn sfeervolle zitjes gecreëerd waar je heerlijk kunt ontspannen. Het zwembad is fijn en er zijn voldoende ligbedden rondom.

Wij konden al vroeg inchecken, wat erg prettig was. Daarnaast waren zowel het diner als het ontbijt wat ons betreft het beste van onze hele rondreis door Marokko.

Ook de gastvrijheid viel op. De host en eigenaar dachten actief met ons mee over onze route naar de woestijn de volgende dag. Ze gaven waardevolle tips voor de mooiste route en leuke tussenstops onderweg. Die persoonlijke aandacht maakte ons verblijf extra prettig. Zeker een aanrader!

Cons:

Het enige kleine minpunt was dat de slaapkamer aan de compacte kant was en de badkamer vrij basic. Dat viel echter in het niet bij alle andere pluspunten van deze accommodatie. De sfeer, gastvrijheid, het heerlijke eten en de prachtige locatie maakten ons verblijf meer dan geslaagd.

Outstanding place — one of the most memorable stays in Morocco
Pros:

Auberge Le Festival Todra Gorge is simply outstanding. The location is incredible: remote, peaceful, surrounded by dramatic rock formations, with no close neighbours and a real sense of silence and space. It is the kind of place where you can sit on a lounger, look at the canyon, listen to nothing, and then watch the stars at night. For us, this was not just accommodation — it was a full experience.
The whole property is extremely tasteful and atmospheric. Compared with many other places in the Todra Gorge area, it feels like a completely different standard. The stone architecture, floors, natural materials, ceramics, candlelit restaurant and beautifully presented food create a style that reminded us more of a refined rural retreat in Mallorca or Corsica than of a simple guesthouse. Everything feels carefully designed, but still natural and connected to the landscape.
Dinner was excellent — delicious, beautifully served and with a very special atmosphere. The restaurant in the evening, with candles and the surrounding silence, was one of the highlights of our stay. The whole place seems very well adapted to European tastes, but without losing its local character. It feels authentic, quiet and deeply atmospheric rather than mass-touristic.

Cons:

The only real thing missing is a proper usable pool. There is a small pool/jacuzzi-like feature, but in our opinion it is not very well located, as it sits near the path to the cave rooms. It is also too small for swimming, not heated, and more decorative than truly functional. It might be pleasant for a quick cool-down in the middle of the day after trekking, but otherwise it does not add much. Honestly, this place would be perfect if that feature were turned into a heated evening jacuzzi for stargazing — that would fit the atmosphere much better.
Apart from that, Auberge Le Festival is exceptional. The silence, the views, the tasteful design, the food, the candlelit dinner, the loungers facing the canyon and the possibility of watching the stars in complete darkness made it one of the strongest experiences of our whole Morocco trip.
A truly special place. 10/10.

Pros:

In een woord een uniek hotel op een unieke lokatie. Zeer goed verzorgd ontbijt en diner. Bier en wijn worden er geschonken tegen een zeer schappelijke prijs. Het waren twee hele fijne overnachtingen met een prachtige wandeling met gids.

Cons:

Helaas is er weinig tot geen bereik in de kloof. Wel was er een klein beetje bereik bij de receptie.

Pros:

De kamer is gebouwd in de rotsen, alsof je in een grot slaapt. Wel comfortabel uiteraard

Cons:

Er staat dat er een buitenzwembad is, maar dat is niet meer dan een bad dat iets groter is dan een ligbad, wat wel lekker is om even af te koelen overigens.

Peaceful stay deep into the Todra Valley
Pros:

This place is deep into the Todra valley, away from all the noise and chaos. The place itself is quite big and spread out. Lots of rooms in different parts of the building. There are some wonderful terraces from where you can enjoy a view of the valley and the surrounding mountains. The staff is very kind and available. Rooms are really nice, clean and tidy.
Definitely recommend!

Prachtige accommodatie, aanrader!
Pros:

Prachtige kamers en super mooie plek net wat hoger in de vallei. Echt een aanrader, prachtig uitzicht van kamers en alles netjes geregeld. Zal zeker terug komen.

Cons:

Het is wat afgelegen dus diner en lunch hebben we daar gedaan wat heerlijk was maar wel wat prijzig.
