Want to be in a super comfortable and supermorocco hotel? Take this one.
I have so much respect for the owners. They made this place so beautiful - all the colours and softness of the tapisseries, les babouches they offer to you...Do you know they have in permanent service 51 persons? That means 51 families having a salary....Do you know your food comes right from the local market?
Come here and a dream becomes true

We stayed 2 nights this December in the small bedroom, which was very good value. The location is slightly out of town down a long road, which was fine even with a small car. It was v peaceful. There was wifi, and a swimming pool which would be nice in the summer.

The compulsory dinner was nice, but not the best value at 210dh each per night.

Overall, the staff were very helpful and I'd recommend it for a quiet stay outside Ouazazate.

Stayed at this riad for one night in October 2010. A long way out of the centre of Ouarzazate but well signposted from the N9 and not difficult to find. Parking was on the street outside the riad and we had no problems in this respect. Free wi fi available in the courtyard where there was a nice sitting out area and a small attractive pool. The old building hasbeen beautifully restored and is full of oriental carpets and bric a brac and had lots of narrow passages and terraces with views over to the lake which were lovely in the morning sunlight. Everything a nice riad should be. We liked the nice touch like the welcoming tea and cakes and the fact that although dinner is obligatory this was waived due to our late arrival. Breakfast was fairly standard and served on traditional terra cotta crockery which was chipped and long overdue for replacement .We found our mini double with window opening onto the dining area pretty cramped being only the width of the bed and about three bed lengths long and may not have been suitable for a longer stay. Other more expensive rooms had nice terraces for sitting out. We liked the fact that the bathroom, which was looking a little tired, had a door which is not always the case with some riads.

It is good advice to ignore the very amazing and very poor hotel reviews - I hope however that you will not ignore the great reviews of Kasbah Dar Daif. We started our short tour of Morocco with two nights at Dar Daif and are so thankful that we did.

We arrived quite late in the evening to a warm welcome and were able to order a meal. We ate breakfast and dinner twice at the riad and the food was always delicious. We did not encounter tajines like it anywhere else in Morocco - the food was not heavy and greasy but still tasty, delicious and tender.

The Riad is decked out in local rugs and brassware. Its the sort of look people try to replicate in their homes - and never quite pull it off - well here it works and feels natural. We were there at the end of summer and it was not too hot - but you got the impression that even in winter it would be lovely and cosy. There is a good sized pool with a few lounges for lazy days with a good book in the sushine.

I loved that as you moved around the riad during the day you could hear the staff laughing together or singing. We felt like guests in a family home rather than a hotel. The owner, Jean-Pierre -spent at least two our, maybe more, with my husband and I making recommendations of places to visit and stay when we moved on. We were provided with a map of the area and smaller maps of local highlights. Ouarzazate is more than just s stop off on the way to the desert - there is a huge amount nearby to explore. There is no way we would have seen as much of the amazing nearby landscape without his advice. Jean-Pierre also arranged for us to spend a night under the stars in the desert - a highlight of our trip.

We would gladly recommend this hotel to others
