Reviews of Kasbah Chems

This family run Kasbah is a real treat. Service and food were outstanding. Most of the food is home grown/ local. They went the extra mile to make our stay very memorable. Very relaxed and quiet environment with lovely views from both terraces where food is served.

On our arrival, staff helped us unpacking and also welcomed us with Moroccan Mint tea and some nuts with it. The view from the hotel is beautiful, red mountains surrounding the whole area and they look very calming and relaxing to look at and meditate to, the calmness of the area is not a joke, you can only hear the wind and how birds are shirping and other animals waking up in the morning. As you get inside the Kasbah you are welcomed with the smell of authentic moroccan Roses and as they get dry they give more scent, the first floor has a beautiful sit and read area where you can grab books from the tables and read or play games with friends or loved ones. You are also welcomed with beautiful kittens that are friendly and you can sit with and play with. The host had the kindness to upgade both me and my parents to new rooms that are premium with better view for great hospitality service. The rooms are well equiped with towels cleaning tools and also beautiful balcony with tables and chairs to sit on and admire the beautiful sun during the day and meditate and sit and enjoy the calmness of the area. The hotel owner had Organic garden that they use to prepare authentic Moroccan vegetables soup that we got as a last supper before going to bed. The breakfast was very nice and fully organic with authentic Moroccan breakfast. I would highly recommend to enjoy the calm mountains away from city noises and stress, And for anyone who just wanna experience the raw authentic moroccan decoration and south culture and to be completely Zen. The hotel owner was also kind enough to give us more directions for our next destination to help us take the quickest and safest roads.

The only two downsides are how accessible the Kasbah is from the city, you can easily use google maps but be wary of the time to get there as the road is very long and can take a while to get there, don't lose hope because the Kasbah is actually there so please don't get scared of being scammed. I would also recommend to have hair driers accessible for when guests take shower.

Beautiful location

We really enjoyed our stay at Kasbah Chems. The room we had was amazing, which had a balcony that overlooked the mountains. We had a lovely traditional Moroccan meal, with the home made goats cheese salad and a tagine each. Yousef showed us around the gardens and farm animals which was a great experience. We wish we stayed for more than one night.

We enjoyed everything.

Our family had a wonderful experience staying at Kasbah Chems. At first the spectacular view caught our attention, but very quickly it was the wonderful hospitality of the staff that made this stay our most memorable of our 3 week trip in Morocco. The food was wonderful too and was plentiful and delicious. The room was very comfortable and clean with a great modern bathroom. Mustapha welcomed us and showed us around the Kasbah including the farm animals and organic gardens. Mustapha also guided us on a hike through a beautiful canyon and taught us about local culture. It felt like we were given an opportunity to see and learn about authentic village life which was very special. We also enjoyed Mustapha’s sense of humour and he was great with our teenage sons. Josef also made our stay very memorable. He engaged with our teenage sons and chatted with them about their interests. When our eldest son talked about the soccer game being played by the young men in a nearby village, Josef kindly walked with us to the next village and introduced our son to the young men. He asked if our son could kick a ball with them during warm up. Not only did our son get to play during the warm up, the young men invited him to play the full game with them. This was a wonderful experience for him and one he and we will always remember. Said, Julie and their team work very hard to give their guests an amazing experience. We loved every moment of our stay at Kasbah Chems.

Nothing. Everything was wonderful

It was the best traditional Moroccan food I ate this time. This place is in a great location and the scent of roses, which are in season now, was lovely. Staff member Joseph's hospitality was also excellent.

Nice room with nice view, kind host, good food

The place is extremely nice, located in an hidden paradise in the valley of roses. The room was very nice and allows to fully enjoy the amazing view. Mustapha was extremely nice, welcoming in the best way and allowing to fully enjoy the stay. All the personnel in general is very nice. They can organize all the kind of experiences you can look for, authentic and with the pace you like it.

Kasbah Chems is an amazing place. The view from the rooftop is breathtaking. Jule and her team are amazing hosts. The house is beautifully decorated and clean. Breakfast and dinner are super delicious. We absolutely recommend this Kasbah.

everything was great

What a gem this place is! We arrived late so did not see the spectacular view until the morning. It’s stunning. The staff is so warm and hospitable, the food is some of the best we have had in Morocco, and the location is beautiful. The staff also showed our kids their goats (and other lovely parts of the property where they grow their own food), including a baby goat, which quickly became a highlight of the entire trip. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and only wish we could have had more time there.

Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and clean with stunning views and great staff. Mustafa was really helpful with local information and helped us choose a better route to travel by bike (off road) so than our original plan. Thank you

Mustapha is a gem of a guy...showed us around the goats & chickens, and shared his knowledge of the valley. Highly recommend staying there...

The peace and quiet of this wonderful Kasbah with Stunning Views of the Mountains. The owner was very pleasant and professional even when I had turned up on the wrong date.

Having to leave.

Kasbah Chems was a very authentic and romantic place for us to experience and we loved to stay there for a couple of nights. Youssef and Said showed us around their property and we are amazed by how self-sustainable Kasbah Chems is. For example they‘re growing their own vegetables, making their own bread, jam, milk and goat cheese and have chickens for fresh eggs. Lastly we really enjoyed talking to the team and learning about the local culture. Thank you so much for having us :)

We had booked this place based on reviews from previous travellers and were not disappointed! To get there, you drive on sinuous roads with mind blowing views. Once there, you find peace overlooking a mountain range and tiny village. The owners and members attend your needs and make you feel welcome as if it was your own home! If you have time, explore the surroundings with them, you will appreciate their time and knowledge of this gorgeous valley! We even had a miraculous beer appear for dinner 😆

Nothing

Beautiful riad, better than the photos. Family run we felt very welcome, I highly recommend !!
