Auberge Ayouze

Everything! Ghayat was very welcoming and the place is stunning… perfect to disconnect and feel home. The room has private balcony with stunning views. Sunrise was a dream from my balcony

Anything

This is a lovely little hotel with a beautiful view over the valley. Ghayat was especially helpful accommodating out daughter’s dietary needs (no gluten, which can be difficult).

Well run by the owner who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable!

Nothing!

We stayed one night at Auberge Ayouze on our way to the Dades Gorge, and the experience was perfect in every way. We were warmly welcomed with mint tea and peanuts, which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking stunning scenery. The setting is peaceful, tastefully decorated, and full of charm. Our room was small but very comfortable. Since it was a bit cold, the hosts kindly provided an additional heater. The en suite bathroom had running warm water and toiletries, which made our stay even more pleasant. We had a three-course dinner at the in-house restaurant, where they thoughtfully lit the fireplace—it created such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious and clearly prepared with care. As a vegetarian, I was delighted with the lovely vegetable tagine they made for me, while my husband and daughter enjoyed grilled chicken with vegetables—simple, home-cooked food that we loved. The next morning, we went to Ait Benhaddou for sunrise, just a three-minute drive away, and returned only after 11:30. Despite us arriving well past the usual breakfast hours, they still served us a generous and tasty breakfast, complete with fresh honey-stuffed warm bread. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home—nothing was too much trouble. The terrace offers breathtaking views, perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. Though we stayed only one night, we easily could have stayed longer to unwind fully. Overall, I’d give Auberge Ayouze five stars for its hospitality, decor, food, ambience, cleanliness, and location.

While on-site parking is free, there are a few steep steps that may be challenging for guests with mobility issues.
