The Big Moon

Tranquility and exceptional hospitality

Pros: It was calm and peaceful. The family are kind and considerate. Ayyoub lent me his bike, the family fed me well and were most hospitable. The location is a out of town but you can just step out and walk or cycle around the oasis!

Cons: I liked it. I found it restful.

Most hospitable hosts

Pros: It was a traditional Moroccan house, the place was clean and comfortable, it was the most hospitable and kind people which I've ever met in Morocco.

Pros: The owner was so kind and so closed, he helped me a lot and we share some moments visiting the town and the whole family is so friendly. It's a very good option to go to his hostel. Thanks Ayyoub, it was a great time :)

Real hospitality!

Pros: Ayyoub and his father provided real hospitality. We felt very much welcome at this beautiful accomodation. We had some tea on their rooftop terrace with beautiful views over the snow-capped mountains and the palms. Afterwards they prepared a very delicious vegan tajine for us. The room was spacious! We very much enjoyed staying here and we would certainly recommend to stay here as well.

Cons: The road to the accomodation should be driven carefully with a car, especially after it has rained. The night was somewhat cold, we should have asked for another blanket which I am sure they could have provided. Other than that no issues at all!

Absolute joy.

Pros: This was an absolute joy. I was interested in visiting a more rural area on my journey between Ouarzazate and Merzouga, so I stopped by in Skoura - and what a fantastic surprise this guest house was. The people here are incredibly kind and welcoming, and I even got to enjoy a little adventure with a bike ride and trying some pottery. If you appreciate relaxing on the rooftop, enjoying very, very good food, and feeling like a truly welcomed guest, this is the place for you. One of the best experiences I’ve had on my travels.

Pros: Ayyoub and his family are very welcoming! I wish i could spend more time with them! Ayyoub take me to the palmeraie, the kasbha and the poterie. I will come back for sure one day. Thank you Ayyoun and you family

Lovely family stay

Pros: The most authentic experience we’ve had so far in our trip! We unfortunately stayed only one night. Ayyoub and his family were super welcoming and we felt right at home from the start. Food was delicious (dinner and breakfast), and the terrace has a beautiful view. We would love to go back and definitely recommend it!

Amazing!

Pros: Loved the family who let us stay in their home , we got contacted by Ayyoub to check what time we will be arriving and if we would like dinner and to learn from his mum, how to cook tajine. We arrived later than planned , but they were happy to still cook with us and dinner was delicious- probably the best one we had so far. There is a washing machine which was ok for us to use, and it was definitely needed after travelling for 11 days. Whole place was clean and felt really nice to be in. Breakfast was delicious and everyone was so nice. Shame we couldn’t stay longer due to travel plans, but we would definitely return. My little ones loved it as well and as a bonus they adored all the cats.

Home from Home The Real Morocco.

Pros: At Guest House Abde Rrahim Baallal, you’ll find a little piece of Nivarna ShangriLa Heaven—whatever you want to call it, the hospitality here goes beyond all expectations. Hilton, eat your heart out! Even Michelin-starred restaurants should come to learn how to cook from the heart. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, the stars at night, the sunrises, and the sunsets that will take your breath away. If you want to experience real Life, the Real Morocco, you’ll find it here, but don’t wait—once the vibration is realized and the word gets out, this place will be fully booked!

Cons: Mind Blown Not possible to find a negative.

Pros: It was a very lovely family, really hospitable, super helpful and welcoming!, they gave us a tour of local places, we had a clean and cosy bedroom, air conditioning in room was very good, the food was really delicious and the family was super kind and showed us how to make tagine and moroccan tea, it was very interesting getting to know the family and their story! (Also, there were baby cats around, which were really sweet!) It was a relaxing stay. We want to come again in the future! :)

Cons: It would have been useful to have a car to get around in Skoura, but luckily the family had bikes we were allowed to use.
