Dar Yasmine — Hotel in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

We stayed at this place for three nights as part of our honeymoon trip and we didn’t really enjoy our stay for the reasons below: We arranged a pickup from the airport with them but the driver dropped us 400 meters away from the place and we had to drag our luggages on the busy and uneven pavement in a place we’ve never been before. Then we figured he could actually come inside Medina and park in front of the road. The Dar manager( I think her name was Hannah came and asked us how was our experience which we really appreciate it.) There was a mosque right next to this Dar and it was very loud. Every morning we woke up at 5am due to the prayer call so we were tired the entire day. There was no way to rest or relax there as there was a call 5 times a day. This needs to be mentioned in the description of the hotel on Expedia, the same way it was on the desk inside the room, which is already too late to know. On the second day, as we were getting ready to go for breakfast at 8am we were talking and laughing ( as all honeymooners do), we heard a “hush” noise and then we got a knock on our door. Someone from the reception at the door told us to be quiet as it is early in the morning. I’ve never had anyone knocking on my hotel room door saying to be quite in my entire life. 8AM is not early and trust me when I tell you everyone is already up due to the mosque anyways. This also shows that the walls are paper thin in this very old building, as we were also hearing everything happening around us. Sometimes we even doubted whether the window was open or something. The room was clean but due to the nature of the flooring (bricks) there were lots of stains all over the floor which made it look very gross. The bathroom was very tight. You have to move to every direction sitting on the toilet. The garbage lid couldn’t even be opened, the toilet paper was almost unreachable and you had to hold it in your hand. There was no soap dispenser and we had to leave the soap on the sink which was not very sanitary. There was shampoo but no conditioner or shower gel. The room barely had any amenities. There was no closet and only one small table, we had to leave our things all over the place. The good things about the place were: Breakfast was delicious. The shower was nice with hot water. Air conditioner was weird to manage but it was great and worked properly. Overall, I would not recommend this place if you are a couple or honeymooners. If you’re on a budget and traveling solo and just need a bed this place might...

The hotel was pretty bad. The sewage smell in the room was so strong it felt as if we were sleeping in a public toilet. The room was dirty — not from a lack of cleaning, but from years of neglect and no renovation. Everything felt old and worn out, and the breakfast was poor.

The so-called “city tax” was shockingly high — around 4 € per person per night, equivalent to what hotels in Paris or Rome charge. I’m convinced this is a scam by the hotel, as this is just a modest three-star property in Tangier.

The staff and location were okay, but that’s where anything positive ends.

What surprised me most is that, when booking through Booking.com, the reviews were suspiciously high — no one mentioned any of the serious issues I experienced. A few days after checkout, I realized why: Booking.com never gave me the option to leave a review. When I contacted their customer service for help, they simply replied that this hotel is managed by a “partner agency” and that they “don’t have access” to the reviews.

Thus, the reviews for this hotel on Booking.com are clearly misleading — and that’s exactly why this place continues to deceive new guests by filtering out negative feedback. I won’t be using Booking.com again unless they start ensuring honesty and transparency...
