The landscape is truly stunning—gentle hills, vibrant greenery, and expansive views that inspire a deep sense of peace. It is the kind of environment that naturally encourages reflection and relaxation. Equally remarkable are the people. Their warmth, hospitality, and sincerity create an atmosphere in which one immediately feels welcome and at ease. This is an ideal destination for those seeking rest and renewal, far from the noise and rush of everyday life. I left feeling completely recharged, and I look forward to returning in the future.

The place itself was perfect, but kids of the other families were very noisy which disturbed the tranquility - something we were not expecting from a place of these standards

Every corner of the place was very beautiful and carefully selected with attention to every detail. The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful - the view overall was amazing! The staff was also very attentive and provided us with an incredible private dinner.

Our experience at Dar El Mandar was fantastic. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for disconnecting. Everything was clean, well cared for, and decorated with great taste. We want to especially thank Mehdi, Hamza, and Abderrahim for their kindness, warmth, and professionalism. They made us feel at home from the very first moment. Definitely a place we hope to return to. Thank you for everything!

The road up is a little steep but navigable and totally worth the view.

This was the nicest place we stayed in our entire Morocco trip! The staff were truly exceptional, the view was outstanding and the overall hotel was faultless. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. We ate the set menu of locally sourced Moroccan food every night and it was the best we had on our trip, with something new and fresh everyday. The breakfast was also wonderful. All of the staff were fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us, a big thanks to Fatiha, Alaa, Kaoutar, Wahib, Mehdi and especially Hamza who despite our terrible french went above and beyond. Gorgeous pool, incredible sunset and a truly unique location.

Wifi could be stronger (extend past the restaurant). Some mosquitoes, so screens on doors/windows could be good.

Absolutely beautiful property and location. The hotel feels luxurious and peaceful, with fantastic views and high quality finishes. The staff were very attentive and common areas (in addition to individual rooms) were quite comfortable.

The approach on the dirt track is a bit tricky but manageable - just take it gently

Amazing views, pool and staff. Everything you could ask for

The road going tot the accommodation was a little bit difficult, but getting to a gem is always difficult.

We liked the most the personnel and the ambiance

The road up to the facicilities is very bad, especially some shorter sections.

The view and location is incredible. The staff is super friendly and helpfull and goes above and beyond to make your stay good. Its a hidden gem, like someone took a hotel from Bali and moved to Fes. The photos dont do it justice.

I just wish I had been informed about air conditioning, but overall, it was a great experience

The view is absolutely breathtaking. From the moment you arrive, you fall in love with this secluded paradise nestled between mountains. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome and cared for. The cleanliness is impeccable; everything is spotless and well-organized. The high-quality service is evident in every detail.

I had a fantastic experience at Dar El Mandar. The staff (all of them) were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with a lovely own garden and a stunning view. The breakfast was delicious. Dinner was also excellent. Highly recommended!

Nothing to complain about. Just be mindful that this is a quiet place to disconnect - wifi only in the main area, not the rooms so put the phone away and relax

Stunning location in the hills, with beautiful sunsets. Friendly attentive staff who couldn't do enough for us and delicious home cooked food

Dar el Mandar was our favourite stay in Morocco. I wish we had stayed here longer. The whole experience was incredible: the friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you, the beautiful architecture and grounds, the stunning view, the deliciously fresh food. Although the staff spoke mainly French, there was no issue and they were eager to work things out. We truly loved our stay here and would come back just for this location. Thank you to the whole team.
