We had a lovely week at Bab El Janoub. Iatimad looked after us amazingly well and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The apartment was well furnished, the kitchen well stocked with everything you'll need to cook a basic meal. The shops nearby had all the necessary items we needed from delicious fresh bread to fresh eggs. Would happily recommend bab el janoub to anyone looking for a budget friendly apartment while they explore ouarzazate.

We had only planned to stay one night but Dar Amoudou is an excellent choice. It can be a bit challenging to find it but it’s worth it. Ali, the owner is welcoming and goes out of his way to ensure your comfort. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Very comfortable with great effort to satisfy our specific dietary requirements and a lovely view from the balcony. We enjoyed seeing both the sunrise and sunset from our balcony.

I loved everything about this place. I felt very welcome.
The food was fantastic. The room was beautiful, clean, with fresh flowers and an amazing view.
The drive to the hotel is a bit harrowing and the Internet was only in the common area, so be aware.
It did not bother me at all though so I have and would recommend this hotel to everyone!

I stayed here 5 days and was smitten from the first moment. The decor may not be everyone's taste and may seem a little OTT but the rooms are of generous size, very comfortably furnished and the location is very quiet. The staff are discrete and very obliging, they serve excellent food more or less to your wishes. It is near the airport, in fact 15 minutes walking distance and on the edge of town.

Very good auberge within walking distance to the big dune. Two types of eggs were served for breakfasts, and each room has a table outside with sockets for laptops. The hot water pressure was not affected by other guests. The hotel was also clean and a full load of laundry cost 40 dirham.

We are so glad that we stayed at Maroc Galacx. Mohammad was so helpful in advising us about places to see and he arranged car hire for us. We are so grateful for his help and reassurance. Having a car enabled us to explore the south of morocco for one week which was amazing. Having breakfast in the kitchen with his family was just like being at home. They made us feel very welcome and we will defintely return if we are lucky enough to visit Ouazarate again.
