Berber Family Lodge

Really lovely day trip- food was lovely and staff very hospitable. We had a guide take us on a private walk around imlil and to the waterfalls. We had lunch that we prepared ourselves with the incredible view in the background. Would 100% recommend!! One of a kind experience and views. Can’t wait to visit again

Incredible experience. Number one thing I would recommend to do while in Marrakech. Only an hour drive from the city. Stunning views, friendly family, good food. It is a very cheap, amazing experience so do as we did and definitely tip highly!!!

Peaceful, genuine and charming lodge with amazing food and possibilty for trekking. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very kind and service-minded. The location is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit a more quite part of Morocco.

My wife and I visited the Berber Family Lodge for our honeymoon. They went above and beyond to make our stay, and that of all the other guests, an incredible experience. Mohamed, our host, was very communicative and helpful. He organised us a driver from Marrakech airport to take us to his village, Abersioul, where the lodge is located. As we arrived at night, he even helped us to carry our suitcases up to the village, and then prepared us tea to enjoy on our balcony as we watched the stars. Mohamed and Latifa permitted us to use their family fridge to store a few things we had brought (medical & food), which was so kind of them. The food they prepared for meals was incredible - breakfast was freshly made bread with local honey, jam, and peanut butter. Due to my wife’s health requirements, they also provided her with fruit - bananas & avocados - again, going the extra mile to help us! The tagines that Latifa (Mohamed’s wife) and Radija (Mohamed’s mother) prepared for dinner were delicious. They also offered a cooking class which we enjoyed thoroughly. One of the heroes of the trip was Hasan, Mohamed’s cousin, who helps to run the lodge. He was always present for us, providing us with water on request, and even going to Imlil to collect a souvenir one of the other guests wanted. Hasan and Mohamed even brought us a portable stove to use in the spare kitchen for a day when we cooked our own meal! Mohamed helped us organise tours for treks and visit to local markets. The guides were brilliant; competent and knowledgeable. It was a 40-60 minute fairly gentle trek along lovely winding mountain trails to Imlil, which we throughly enjoyed. The view was magical. It looks even better than in the photos. The night sky was one of the clearest I had also ever seen, perfect for stargazing. But it was our hosts who made this trip the most incredible experience. We highly recommend staying at the Berber Family Lodge and visiting this beautiful part of the world! Thank you so, so much for everything!

We had such a great trip to BFL. The food was great and the lodge is beautifully designed and decorated. Mohamed can also sort pretty much anything for you. Really a great place to stay and if you’re looking to do a hike in the Atlas Mtns let Mohamed organise it- much better than doing with a big company.

My second time here. It’s a pearl! Lovely rooms and excellent view on the toubkal mountain. Such an idyllic place for family visit. Diner in the open living room is magical! Even when the wind blows. That can happen in the mountains. We where with a family group of 9x.
