This place is a little slice of heaven. From the moment we walked in, we felt something special. It immediately felt like home. Idriss and his brothers are the kindest people with the purest hearts. They treated us like family. On top of that came the amazing food that was freshly prepared for us every day. Let’s not forget the great location, a bit away from all the more crowded tourist places, so you really can enjoy the peace and quiet. Oh and did we already mentioned the amazing view? As you can see, we would highly recommend staying here, and if you have time (make time), for more than one night!

Nothing to not love :)

Great guesthouse that we can highly recommend. Very personal host and stay, making you feel right at home. Manager is also the chef and makes for delicious home cooked Tajine, which was done vegetarian at simple request, best one we had our entire trip. A short 5' ride outside of Ait Ben Haddou so you're spared all the noise and bustle of that place, leaving with a great peaceful quiet night and wonderful sunrise views from the rooms terrace. Everything very clean and cosy large guest area to lounge or eat.

We travelled in winter, and it gets very cold at night in the Atlas. Understandably for Morocco, there is no heating in the rooms and floor was icecold. Extra blankets were provided so we slept comfortably, but the cold makes you not hang out too much in the room (but the fireplace livingroom made up plenty).

There’s lots to write about: the view from the room was amazing as Ayouze Auberge overlooks the terrain with rocky hills and patches of green. The rooms were standard and comfortable, but hosts are a real magic- Ibrahim and Idris are very welcoming and generous and great people to chat with. The food was the best we had in Morocco in our 15 days especially the vegetarian tajine that Ibrahim promised will be the nicest we have had. The breakfast was tastier than most other places we have had in morocco. And all of this at very economical price. Proximity to ait ben haddou is a big plus, and so is their great collection of books on sufism, art, literature etc. Idris is a great storyteller and an adventure junkie you must interact while there.

All good!

We spent two wonderful nights at Auberge Ayouze. Situated just 3 km from the center of Ait Ben Haddou, the auberge offers a serene and peaceful setting. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful walk along the water leading to the center. The staff at Auberge Ayouze were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to chat and make guests feel at home. The entire place has a charming and atmospheric feel, very clean. The views of the mountains were breathtaking. Every meal was a delight; delicious breakfast each morning and the evening three-course dinner was simply fantastic. It was also nice that we could enjoy a glass of wine or beer with our meals :-). If you're looking for a place to unwind and find peace, Auberge Ayouze is perfect. Highly recommended!

I really don't know where to start to my experience... everything was amazing. The charm of the guesthouse and its unique style. My stunning room, spacious and clean with a comfy bed and a pleasent temperatured shower. The mind-blowing view from the balcony. The calm and zen in the air. The delicious breakfast on the terrace and the lovingly prepared varied dinner. Idriss and his friends are exceptional hosts, attentive and obligingly and he himself is an incredible conversationalist who completely redefines Moroccan hospitality. I learned a lot about amazigh life and culture and felt so much like home. Shukran Jazilaan Lak!

Our stay at Ayouze Auberge was wonderful. We originally wanted to stay two nights and then spontaneously decided to stay one more night, since we liked it so much. For us it was a great place to find some peace and quiet after driving around quite a lot. Idris is awesome and gave us great advice where to go hiking in the area. Even though the auberge is just a few walking minutes away from Ait Ben Haddou, it feels miles away from all the tourists and hassle. The view over the oasis is breathtaking. The room was cozy and we even had a private view on the backside of Ait Ben Haddou and the gardens. In the evening and at night it was very quiet, just some animal sounds all around. Every morning and evening we looked forward to the food - we had the best food of our entire trip here (and the best salad we ever tasted). And last but not least, Idris cat Hübsch, who mostly snoozes somewhere in the entrance hall or on the terrace, makes the place complete. He is always open for some cuddles and one can easily get jealous of what a good life he’s living! :-)

Wow! So sad to have to leave after just one night. We highly recommend planning a longer stay here. Idriss is a wonderful, friendly and interesting person and an absolutely incredible chef. His cooking skills are something else….not just compared to other places in Morocco but anywhere in the world! The salad was heavenly the tangin, served with an extra orange sauce, was so incredibly delicious with tender meat, roasted pumpkin, potatoes slightly crispy…I could go on. The building itself is really beautifully decorated with real taste and is very cosy. There is seating both indoor with a fire or outdoor on a large patio. There are interesting books to browse. We are already planning our next visit.

We had an incredible stay here. The bedroom was very comfy and had a small little terrace where we could watch the sun rise in the morning and star gaze at night. After a long drive down from Marrakech we were met with a delightful dinner, a cosy fire, a warm, friendly atmosphere and the most incredible live music played by local musicians (who we found out were incredibly popular in Morocco). Breakfast was truly amazing and the best one of our 9 day stay in Morocco. Really fresh and delicious served under the sun amongst the beautiful surroundings. The location was gorgeous and the accommodation was decorated with amazing Amazigh touches. Do not hesitate to stay at this magical place.

We were sad we could not stay longer at this beautiful place.

I loved all the unique details of the interior! The staff was extremely friendly. Having dinner at the living room area was cozy and the breakfast was also amazing :) You also get nice views across the valley. The place is a 5 minute drive away from the ksar but you can also walk there which takes about 45 minutes.

As usual in Morocco during winter months, it can get quite cold during the nights. However, the amount of blankets provided was definitely enough.

Our stay at Ayourze for New Year’s Eve was truly unforgettable. We enjoyed an amazing dinner, followed by an impromptu acoustic concert by the fantastic Hassan, which created such an intimate and warm atmosphere. The Auberge has an authentic, charming ambiance that made our stay truly special. The hospitality was exceptional, with our host being super attentive and fun to be around. Thank you for everything, we had such a nice time!
