Dar Bladi — Hotel in caïdat de Ahl Ouarzazate

We spent 1 night but we wished we could stay longer! The room was big and nicely decorated, in traditional Moroccan style as all the place. Great, well equipped bathroom, good quality toiletries. Loved the detail of complimentary fruit and water in the room. The service was always friendly and helpful. Wifi was unstable (but this seemed to be endemic in Morocco). ||||The food was really great! Both dinner and breakfast were abundant and delicious. ||Beautiful views from the terrace over the city and the mountains, it must be lovely in warmer months. ||||Dar Bladi is the smaller and more traditional accommodation linked to the "posher" Dar Daif in front of it, where the reception is located. Mind that both are located in a tiny village outside Ouarzazate, so you need to drive there and it's a bit difficult to reach at first (especially if you do not know that is the same property as Dar Daif, there were many signals advertising Dar Daif, but none for Dar Bladi, the name we were looking for). After checking in Dar Daif, you need to walk about 5 minutes trough the village to Dar Baldi. We found that walk very scenic and a nice addition to the experience, but I see that can be 'scary' for some, and not ideal if you have walking difficulties as the path is uneven and there is no possibility to reach the hotel door by car. We have read some complaints about dirty paths, smell of farm animals, being too isolated... Well, it is a village. Not for everyone I guess. We...

This was the fourth stop on our honeymoon road trip. We were quite unwell and exhausted by this point so we spent our time here relaxing. Unfortunately it was quite hard to get to because of an unexpected closed road and we almost got lost. It is also part of another hotel and you can use the facilities such as swimming pool but we were too tired. The room was pleasant but we asked to move rooms because we noticed quite a lot of ants in the room. We felt that because it was the low season the rooms hasn't been occupied for a while. We were moved to a room up on the terrace and we were very happy with this and there were no ants. Staff were very helpful and gave us free bottles of water. The views are amazing, and the stars are so bright at night. Perfect for night photography which I took advantage of. It was the perfect place to relax during our busy road trip. We didn't see much of Ouarzazate so can't comment on...

Dar Bladi is part of a bigger establishment including Dar Daïf, they are pretty much connected. All together they form an incredible place to stay at, with top quality service, large confortable and clean rooms, magnificent decoration, many common areas to hang out in, including an incredible rooftop with a 360 view on the green oasis of Ouarzazate area, which feels magical in the desert. The staff is so kind, helpful, professional, and they are so many of them ! They can cook delicious food for you. We were lucky to meet the owner who is extremely hospitable, open to talk to, gives genuine advice, and leaves very good peaceful energy. He created a marvellous place which almost feels like a peace of heaven. Bear in mind that the Dars are slightly further from the center of Ouarzazate but it is actually better because of the view and calmness this location allows. The value for money...
