Family hotels and homes in Megdaz

This place felt so authentic. The hotel is situated in the middle of atlas mountain in a small village. The host and his family were super friendly. The room was very clean. Thank you for having us. Can definitely recommend this place. Streets the hotel is well accessible by car. The last 100 meters to the hotel you will have to walk. You walk through the village which also was a great highlight. Food was very delicious!

I didn't believe all the positive reviews at first - but I still decided to try Dar Megdaz and it did exceed my expectations. I immersed myself in living in the mountains. You sleep at 2000 altitude. Mohamed and his family are incredibly hospitable and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and pleasantly cold at night. You have enough blankets to sleep well. The shower is cold, so take it in the morning, not in the evening. Bring your shower gel and towel. The food seemed overpriced at the moment of booking, compared to other places. However, it did turn out to be the best food I've eaten in Morocco in a week. Maybe the views help but also at the altitude the food should taste more bland - I didn't feel that. The highlight of the breakfast was almond paste with argan oil. I loved it so much I asked Mohamed to sell me some. Also local butter is great but I can't describe it - you should try. The lunch was incredible as well, I loved tangia. I booked the lunch even though I had known that I wouldn't be hungry at that time. Hiking to the waterfalls using wikiloc is great. No one en route but beautiful nature. I also went to a nearby village of Imgiss as recommended by Mohamed. There I visited a widow with her daughter who have a lovely bunch of animals with whom I played. They offered mint tea, cottage cheese, cheese, home grown almonds and more. They didn't speak English but we still had a good time. On the way back, the grandma offered to walk back with me. She was outpacing me even though I had hiking boots and poles. The road through Atlas mountains to Dar Megdaz is incredible. I love fast driving on narrow mountainous roads, and I got there alright with Clio. The road is one lane wide for both directions and has a ton of holes and gravel patches. On top of that, a few shallow river crossings now in April. If you're not comfortable with risky driving, get a bigger car or drive slowly. You'll get there and will still enjoy the views.

I liked the atmosphere and people around. The property is operated by the family that lives in there. The owner is a very nice person. I have been there already twice and I hope I will have an opportunity to return there again.

Food was phenomenal and cheap, staff were lovely, very quiet.

New and super clean place in an authentic village with no tourists at all. Abdhul was an incredible host who showed us around, fed us and was at our disposal 24 hours a day.

Super friendly host and delicious food

I had the best experience. I wanted to travel to the other side of the Atlas with public transport, but was stranded in Ghasatte. I enjoyed the Hammam, tajine perfect and the sun in the garden. Mohammed made sure I could continue my travels and arranged a place in a taxi collective. Hospitality comes naturally to him and his family. I'm very lucky to have stranded here.

I’m in Morocco for the second time in my life. Last time I’ve spent here 3 weeks and I have to say that I haven’t met so kind and professional hosts in this country yet! Also the place is just lovely. Ultra clean, and very atmospheric. You can easily feel that it’s a family business. + food is just great!
