    Great location, simple hostel with a real family feel, strong sense of community - great surf!

    There could be a bit of improvement with the facilities, although they were absolutely functional. We stayed in the double room on the terrace, it was a little bit smaller and more basic than we initially expected, but I think this was because some of the photos online were from one of the other Amayour accommodations that is slightly more modern and light and airy. The mattress was pretty hard (compared to what we are used to), so we found it a bit uncomfortable to sleep on, especially after a full day of surfing and an achy body. There was just the one plug socket in the room so we couldn't have the fan and the lamp plugged in at the same time, or charge our phones over night, so we had to prioritise the fan overnight, then charge our phones at other times in the day.

    We really loved staying at Amayour Surf Hostel, the staff were super friendly and got in touch with us via Whatsapp before our stay to arrange airport transport and to book us on for breakfast and additional activities. The views from the terrace were amazing, seeing the sunrise in the morning was so beautiful and the views of the ocean and beach in the distance were stunning. The food was absolutely incredible, and enough to fill double the amount of people that were there. It was so nice to all eat together at the long table, felt very much like a family. There was a social seating area on the terrace that was sheltered and stocked with cards and games for us to use. The Thursday night BBQ was awesome, so much food and delicious, it was really nice to share this event with the other local Amayour Hostel too. All the staff were incredibly friendly and it was so much fun to go surfing with the surf instructors and our group, they were all so fun and make the surf trips a lot of fun! They arranged all the transport and lunch too when surfing which meant all we had to do was show up at the right place, confirm our wetsuit size, and sign in. The guys even knew our board preferences after a day or two which was a lovely little touch.

    This hostel needs new towels. The current are horrible. Worn out, scruffy and with stains,even if cleaned. Bathroom rewamp would be a nice touch as well

    Very nice localisation. Super close to the beach and 2 mins from the bus stop. Neat and clean but basic. Breakfast on the Rooftop just great. Tasty and rich. Rooftop is a great space to share conversation with other people. Great that staff can print your boarding passes

    It was quite noisy all around. Doors were super creaky and hard to get a good nights sleep. The bed was super duper hard and not comfortable. We had a shared bathroom between 4 of us and it was way too small and needed cleaned a lot.

    Great location, close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. Loved the vibe of place, super friendly and laid back. We loved that you could mix and match different things like breakfast, dinner and surfing to how you fancy. We didn’t plan to surf everyday so it was nice we can join the group when we fancied and do our own thing when we fancied. Breakfast and dinners were amazing. Our favourite meal was by far the BBQ which was every Thursday. We also met a bunch of lovely people from all over the world which made the trip super fun and enjoyable.

    Room is pretty but has just 1 small window so it's quite dark - and as it was on the first floor right next to the staff kitchen, unfortunately it was a bit noisy with them coming in and out all the time slamming the door, with music on and talking loudly (which is understandable and not to blame them) but it starts pretty early in the morning. Bathroom on the first floor is very small and did not give a very clean, hygienic feeling but kudos to the cleaning lady for doing her best. Finally, the optional dining options were pretty disappointing and I think there are many options in town tastier and better value for the money.

    Most staffs were friendly, location is good, cute rooftop.

    the way they manage to ask you to pay. You have to pay by cash, if not they apply an insane % of taxes without any previous communication. I felt that they were ripping me off even if they weren’t at the end and it’s not a good way to start a holiday.

    Our room was next to the staff kitchen which was up and running about 8am each morning. The sound traveled freely through the building so that late night socialites conversations were easily heard along with the start of breakfast. Our room had a tiny window that opened into an aly way. No sound of the sea or sight, tiny amounts of natural light. Everything came with a price tag. 50mad breakfast, 120mad dinner, 100mad yoga, 30mad yoga mat rental. Having worked in several hostels around the world this didn't feel great, where most places will offer a breakfast and even free communal dinners at times and other free activities. The communal kitchen is very poorly stocked with utensils, The stove required us to track down staff to light it. Didn't feel very welcoming overall. Emily was super sweet, kids playing around are sweet.

    The bed was very comfortable with nice linens. Nice decor. A lovely rooftop space to enjoy breakfast or sunset.

    I liked the quality of the rooms and facilities. The rooftop was beautiful and spacious. It felt comforting have people around but there weren’t too many people there. The breakfasts were lovely and the yoga classes by Maes was exceptional. I will stay here next time I’m in taghazout.

    For all the great pictures this place really felt like it lacked soul. Staff weren't welcoming, and instead of any hellos or greeting we were told off for coming to the shop (hostel door was locked) and then asked to settle costs immediately. Throughout our stay there felt like a real focus on money, so much so that our dinner was interrupted twice with requests to pay for our surf lesson, where the staff then tried to overcharge us by about 50€ for additional items/meals etc not taken. Our surf trip was a complete waste of time, and the instructors delayed our starting and getting into the water taking Instagram videos for their account for about an hour with some guests on a retreat in the hostels villa. Overall, this place was disappointing, not super clean or comfortable and a general feeling of unease about money / staff trying to explain that their boss requested them to get payment during meals instead of at check out.. it wasn't a comfortable stay, and interactions with staff were awkward due to this. We did meet some amazing people during our stay, which was really lucky, however I wouldn't return to this hostel.

    The roof terrace was great, the breakfast and dinner we had were tasty.

    Quite disorganised and cramped. At time of visit there is a lot of nearby construction, so not the best place to chill. Definitely don't do sandboarding with the hostel. They don't even use sandboards (they use old surfboards!) so bit of a rip off. Would suggest shopping around for surf instruction.

    If you wanted to meet other travellers you would probably do so here. The breakfast is good. The hostel staff are friendly. Responsive to emails.

    You only see staff in the hostel in the morning, which is kinda weird. I didn't really felt the vibe there. Because there were so little people around and not really social. Also they organize events, but for now exmple I have never been asked to join surfing and only been asked few times to join dinner or breakfast. On the last day I just found out they organized yoga as well... Felt like the staff was just there for themselves and the other staff, instead of being there for the guests.

    Good location and hostel looks nice
