A. beautiful new building, decorated with taste and local objects . The owner , Hassan is very friendly and accommodating .

After traveling Morocco for 2 weeks and staying in many riads and berber guest houses at all different price ranges, we still found Dar Isselday to be our favorite. Even though we were only staying here for a night while traveling from Marrakech to Merzouga, the stay itself was quite an memorable experience on its own. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming host (Mohamed) who speaks fluent English, French, and Arabic. Mohamed is very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas (e.g. where to hike) and gave us many suggestions on what to visit beyond the common touristy spots. We followed his suggestion and stayed at a really nice Oasis the following day. After dinner, we got a chance to hang out with Mohamed who shared many interesting stories and insights regarding berber lifestyle and culture. It offered us a rare & honest glimpse into the life of a berber Moroccan. Even though the owner speaks very little English, throughout the night, he frequently checked in on us to make sure we were well accommodated. When he noticed that I was carrying a giant camera, he invited us to the rooftop which has a really beautiful panoramic view of the valley. The guest house is located in a picturesque valley and feels very serene. The guest house has an outside dining area in front of the main building that is extremely well decorated and maintained. You can tell just how much heart and effort the owner has put into this place. The attention to details is simply topnotch. The room has a traditional but modern berber architecture. On this trip, we stayed in several traditional berber guest houses. Even though they were interesting experiences, the living conditions can be quite rough at times. Dar Isselday, on the other hand, not only kept the traditional berber vibe but also included many quality of life improvements. It was surprisingly luxurious.

It is a very nice place in near Ouarzazate, Tidy and clean, comfortable. Food is good, the surroundings are very pretty and nice. Highly recommended.

Lovely and peaceful. Omar in particular was an excellent host. The terrace is very beautiful and the pool incredibly clean and refreshing.

If you have your own transportation consider this authentic place over the tourist trap that is Ait Ben Haddou... Only 20k further up the road you'll find the warmest of welcomes at half the price with the opportunity to really experience Morocco. The food is delicious (try the omelette berbère!!) and from their own garden. The rooms are spacious and scented with fresh flowers. The view from the terrace is out of this world. A real hidden gem!

Super nice host - him and his family were incredibly kind and welcoming. Within walking distance of the zsar and includes free parking. If I ever go back to Ait Benhhadou, there's no doubt I would stay here again.

Very nice place and great hosts

You can't really ask for more. It was all good.

Very nice breakfast, one of the biggest we have had in our two weeks in Morocco. Wonderful owner who helped us get to the bus to Marrakech. Easy 10 minute walk to the kasbah and other restaurants. We had lunch one day and it was also great.

Easy to find, car parking in front of hotel. Very helpful staff, we got extra blankets. Very good location between spot for sunrise and entrance to old Ait Benhadou, both in walking distance. A lot of hot water in the shower. Plenty food for breakfast. Nice looking old building.
