I felt like being the part of the family. The food was home made, when it was ready they just called up: Zsofiiiiaaaa thee fooood is reeeaaady! Exactly like at home 🤩 The food was delicious, you could taste, that is was made with a lot of love! 🥰 The children have been running up and down the stairs like me and my brother did when we were jung and they were really curious who is there. 😊 They were very sweet. Abduls nephew showed me the mountains and we had a really nice day hiking. I'm very grateful for the whole experience. 😊🙏

You will not get a warmer welcome than here in Morocco. By staying at Maison d’Hôte Valentine you are contributing directly to the livelihood of a Berber family (this is a relatively poor region), and in turn you are staying in a very unique environment where the 10 minute meander into the Todra Gorge is so easy to do. You will receive the best evening meal you will get in your entire stay in Morocco - the food is prepared by the owner’s wife, and it is second to one. The arrival to the property is unpaved and is ‘real Morocco’. If you have a wish to buy carpet the the owner’s sister has a business just around the corner that he will take you to.

Our bed was very hard, but that is a theme we found in Morocco.

Abdul and his family looked after us so well, we were welcomed with tea on the terrace, in the morning had a tasty breakfast and they provide home cooked evening meals upon request. The rooftop terrace has wonderful views and our room had the same view of the mountains, river and palmerie. We also loved being in the village of Tizgui itself, a Berber village relatively untouched by tourism with Berber women tending animals in small pens around the village wearing traditional dress, maze like alleyways around and under buildings, ancient pathways through the little fields of the palmerie and to the west of the village the ancient Ksaur (kasber) where Berber families still live. A 3-5 hour walk from the village takes you into the mountains behind the gorge where you pass normadic Berber families. Abdul grew up in the ancient village kasber and his mother before him grew up a normadic Berber. Staying at Hotel Valentine was a wonderful experience of the real Morocco and seeing first hand an ancient and fading way of life.

Nothing

This cozy “maison” has clean and functional rooms and a nice room to eat dinner and breakfast. The owner was very welcoming, even when we arrived an hour before check-in time. We loved our room, from which we could see and hear the river. Dinner was really good – a delicious salad, chicken tagine, and extra special dessert (not just a bowl of fruit). The house is a well-marked short walk from the main road and the small parking lot on the main road is also well marked. The location is perfect for people visiting the gorge. We walked down twice since it was so nearby.

Wonderful location at the top end of the gorge but also quiet, with just the croaking of frogs, amazing birdsong and the lovely gurgling of the river below. From the stunning roof terrace you can admire green fields in the valley that are a colourful contrast to the stunning rock walls and strata all around. Our host Abdul was a wonderful man - always helpful, attentive and on hand to guide you ... we even bought a lovely rug made at his sister's co-op fom him!

If you're looking for Berber style location, look no further. Surrounded by mountains in the small Todra gorge is the quiet village of Ait Baha, where the small Valentine guesthouse is based. It's simple and comfortable, with the best possible location by the river and it's oasis. The colourful bedrooms are good and clean with ensuite bathrooms, that have hot and powerful showers. Delicious true Moroccan breakfast/lunch/dinner can be served in the dining room or on the terrace. The terrace offers magnificent views of the mountains and the oasis and there is nothing better than to sit at night up there, looking at the star lit sky, listening to the river run by! The hosts are very kind and helpful. Their children were very sweet and our son's highlight of Morocco was playing with them!

Nothing to criticise! If I had to find something, then only to install a few more hooks to hang up clothes :-).

Excellent location (10min walk to the gorge) for a fantastic price. Abdul and his family were exceptionally kind and welcoming. Their home is beautiful. We ate dinner with them the first night at short notice and his wife made a wonderful meal for us. Breakfast was also delicious and served on the roof terrace overlooking the valley. We would recommend this guest house to anybody looking to stay in the area. The room has a private bathroom which was cosy but clean. Thank you once again Abdul to you and your family. We had a wonderful stay.

Nothing, everything was great.

The location was very good and on the terrace we had a beautiful view down to the green valley. Walking to the gorge only takes about 5-10min. Abdul and his family were super kind to us and he was very helpful and gave us the necessary information for our hike. The breakfest was excellent and we ate dinner twice aswell, which was a three course meal and delicious.

A aircondition system in our room would have been nice, because it gets very hot during the day. (there is a fan)

Incredible hospitality and attention to detail. We were provided with a lovely breakfast and evening meal. The terrace is great with a lovely view, very close to the gorge walk too.

Rooms were slightly on the small side with the bathroom in the room, and the air conditioning didn’t work so fans were made do. Other than that we had a lovely stay and thank you.

We had a great stay in this Kasbah near the Toudra valley. The interiour of the room was quite basic but still very charming. The breakfast was also a Highlight with selfmade panecakes. We could start the hike trought the Toudra valley right next to the hotel. So we could start early in the morning! Our host Abdoul was very helpful with every question we had! Thank you again Abdoul to make our stay so pleasant! We will come again!
