“Exceptional”
+I mistakenly booked the wrong dates for this accommodation. A refund was not possible, but our host offered us the dates we wanted to stay at no extra charge. He was true to his word! Oukaimeden is a beautiful place. Our host, Rachid, was exceptionally helpful during our short stay. The Gite was basic, but comfortable, and had better WiFi than anywhere we stayed in Morocco this year. Breakfast was good, and Rachid has a small restaurant a few minutes walk away from the Gite where a lovely tagine for dinner is available.

“Rustic mountain stay”
+The location was wonderful if you want to explore and hike the Atlas mountains. No snow for us in December and the ski area has been closed for years. But the fresh mountain air was lovely. The included breakfast and requested dinner provided were lovely and more than enough food. There was one restaurant in town that was open and we enjoyed going there too.
−The place was very cold. They tried to provide heaters but I needed multiple layers of clothes and blankets nearly all the time to stay warm. There was hot water for the shower but in limited supply so had to use sparingly to allow others a hot shower. This was definitely a rustic stay.

“Good”
+Rachid welcomed us with a nice Moroccan tea and showed us our room with a lovely view on the scenery. We had a very nice dinner at his restaurant down the street. When we returned from the restaurant they've set-up a fireplace where we had some more tea.
−The (bathroom) facilities can have some attention for a better (western) standard / rating e.g. shower.

“all good.”
+The tiny house in the midst of closed hotels (in summer, since Oukaimeden is a winter resort) first looked a bit rustic al with the deco and the fireplace, but the beds, bathrooms were all in best shape, clean, there was hot water although I was the only (first) guest and Rashid took perfectly care of everything, made an excellent Tajine in the evening and even brought the breakfast over from his little restaurant although I was his single client. Lovely!
−all good. It’s not luxury, but you don’t come to Oukaimeden in summer for luxury. But for rough mountains, tranquillity & a nice place to stay.

“Superb”
+Despite the fact that I was the only tourist in the whole town, Rachid took his time to make my stay enjoyable. The room and house were perfectly clean, and he even opened the restaurant in town just to feed me, despite the Ramadan. Also, the view from the terrace is gorgeous! I'm very happy with the hospitality!
−The only thing that could be improved is the quality of the doors and locks. The house door doesn't really close until it's locked, and I was stuck in my room for a few minutes because I wasn't able to unlock it. It eventually worked but maybe these thing could be fixed. All in all nothing negative to report though!

“Very good”
+We felt very welcomed by Rasheed although we came between the winter and summer season. The place was prepared, heated and he even put on the fire place. He gave us tips for our hike as he is a guide himself. The next day we enjoyed very good coffee at the restaurant that he runs just some 100m down the road before continuing our journey.
−Make sure to take a map of the hiking tour you are planning to do or take a local guide as the paths are not always well marked. The path to Jebel Oukaimeden, although, is rather easy to follow.
