Riad Ait El Mouden — Hotel in caïdat d'Aourir

This review applies to Riad Ait Sonia : DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE! 🚫

This was by far the worst experience we’ve ever had through Booking. The riad is a disaster from start to finish. We arrived around 4:30 PM (after informing them we’d be there at 3), and by 5:30 PM the rooms were still not ready. There are no signs anywhere, it’s nearly impossible to find, and after calling about ten times — no answer at all.

Once inside, total chaos: • No towels, even though they’re listed on the website. • No bedsheet covering the duvet. • Everything covered in dust; when we asked about it, they just handed us a cloth to clean it ourselves. • The sink leaks whenever you turn on the water. • Spider webs and ants everywhere. • Wi-Fi doesn’t work. • The door lock barely functions. • Curtains are transparent — no privacy. • Outside, filthy cushions and unwashed laundry scattered around.

And on top of that, no breakfast even though it was clearly included, and the bathrooms stink. The staff are careless...

In case you have any complaints, never expect to face the owner- he will not show up. He leaves the problems to his young workers, who try their best to help. The riad was basic, but beautiful and well organised 1 year ago, unfortunately the owner destroyed the place completely with his ambitious plans. Better stayed basic than what it became now with the construction and all the problems involved to that (no electricity, no wifi, no water, dirt everywhere). This is a good example of how you destroy a running...

My stay at this riad Ait El Mouden in Tamraght was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and genuine care. The riad is beautifully designed, blending traditional Moroccan charm with modern comfort. Every corner felt peaceful and thoughtfully curated. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape that still feels connected to Morocco’s surf culture and natural beauty, this riad is the perfect place. I can’t wait...
