I really enjoyed spending a night in the Kasbah Ait Ben Moro. It was very relaxing and the atmosphere very friendly. I have never experienced anything like it, it felt as if I was in one of the stories from "One Thousand and One Nights". The food and the wine was very tasty. The owner is very nice and so... More

After the long drive from either Marrakech or Merzouga this is a truly welcome restbite. A beautifully restored Kasbah with spectacular views over a Palmerie. The rooms are traditional but elegant and very comfortable. The service from the very start is excellent and very warm and the food is just right. A real taste of Berber cuisine. Of all the... More

One night, our last in Morocco, and along the road of 1000 kasbahs, what best but to find oneself actually lodging on one? We saw so many of them in ruins, which make for astounding landscapes and places to walk through, and were thankful for the recommendation from the previous place to send us there. We shared the place only... More

After a long day traveling from Merzouga, we found our oasis at the Ait Ben Moro in Skoura. The rooms (the Dades Suite) are simply but tastefully decorated, the kasbah itself has been beautifully restored, the views are magnificent and the staff is friendly and helpful. The dinner near the fireplace in the cozy dining room was excellent, from start... More

Ait Ben Moro is a step back in time, an austere but lovely place run by very kind people who bend over backwards to make sure guests are comfortable. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble; we were served a delicious dinner in front of a roaring fire, and returned to our room (the Dades Suite mentioned by other reviewers,)... More

There is no way to describe the atmosphere at Kasbah Ait Ben Moro. Others have commented on the wonderful restoration of this spectacular castle, but I just wanted to add that it really is an amazing experience to stay here. Not only is it beautiful, but the staff (especially Aziz!!) are extremely kind, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And the food... More

Beautifully restored Kasbah in great surrounding. Nice rooms, beautiful garden and common areas (especially the lounges with fireplace where you can have dinner). Very helpful staff, reasonable prices = excellent value for money ! Highly recommended

Ait ben Moro, unlike other hotels in Morocco, was restored so that travellers enjoy a comfortable stay even throughout winter.We were delighted that the airconditioning was working properly, we had hot water and that the suite we chose had a living room with a fire place-where they actually lighted a fire for us. dinner and breakfast were excellent as was...

It's really easy to criticise Ben Moro for not being the perfect hotel, but that's missing the point. How often do you get the opportunity to stay in a castle? There are dozens of auberges and hotels in Morocco that call themselves kasbahs - but Ben Moro really is. That alone makes it worth a stay. The architecture is fascinating.... More

It's not everyday you get to stay in a giant sandcastle on the edge of a massive desert oasis. Although it's been around for ages, the family who runs Kasbah Ait Ben Moro has never actually owned it. Moroccan property law is a complicated affair, with the selling of deeds requiring all living members of a family to acquiesce to... More
