The questions people really ask

Through Airbnb only. This site is a shop window: it shows no calendar, takes no payment and holds no reservations. Dates, prices and payment all live on the listing.

Because Airbnb's guest protection is worth something, particularly for a first rental in Morocco. You get someone to call, a framed refund process, and verified reviews nobody can delete. We prefer that to a few points of commission.

It moves with the season and the length of stay. We do not print a figure here rather than publish a wrong one: enter your dates on Airbnb and you get the exact price.

No. The whole house goes to one group, six people maximum.

Morocco applies a municipal tourist tax, paid by the guest, usually settled on arrival. Amounts depend on how the property is classified and we would rather not publish a figure we have not confirmed with the commune. Ask the host before you travel and you will get the exact amount.

Six. Three bedrooms, three queen beds, three shower rooms. A travel cot is available on request.

No. It is 4 m by 2 m, 1.2 m deep throughout, open all year and unheated. From November to April the water is cold.

In practice, late May to early October. Beware the April trap: the air sits at 26 degrees while an unheated pool runs around 18 to 22. September is the best pool month of the year, because the water still holds the summer while the air has dropped back to 32.

Yes, in all three bedrooms and the sitting room, plus heating for winter. There is none in the kitchen, which several guests have pointed out.

Airbnb measured 117 Mbps, enough for video calls. One guest reported a day-long outage in 2025. It happens.

Yes. Full kitchen: oven, cooker, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, pans, crockery, kettle, coffee maker, oil, salt and pepper. With village shops on foot, many guests eat in most of the time.

Outside, yes, including one on the front door. None inside. They are declared on the listing.

No.

No, and no carbon monoxide alarm either. It is on the listing and we repeat it here.

Strongly recommended. The house is ten kilometres out; without a car every trip becomes a fare. Guests who manage without use InDrive and Careem, which both serve the village. Free covered parking on site.

Yes. An international permit is only required if your licence is not in Latin script. Expect a deposit of 1,000 to 2,000 euros held on a credit card: debit cards are often refused.

Better not. The French foreign ministry advises against night driving in Morocco: unlit secondary roads, carts without lights, animals loose on the verge. Plan your returns to arrive before dark.

Uber has operated in Marrakech since November 2025. Heetch and Roby dispatch licensed taxis. InDrive is widely used by travellers and named in our reviews, but it is not legally authorised in Morocco: we mention it without recommending it first.

Between 100 and 150 dirhams by day to the medina, up to 200 at night. Use the official rank and ignore anyone approaching you in the hall. The ALSA number 19 bus costs 30 dirhams. To reach the village, agree the price before getting in.

Not for French, Belgian, Swiss or Canadian passport holders, up to 90 days. A passport is required though: national ID cards are no longer accepted. Make sure it is stamped on arrival.

September, without hesitation, if the pool matters: 32 degrees in the air, water still warm, nights at 18, almost no rain. Otherwise March to May and October. July and August regularly average 37 degrees with peaks past 45, which turns the pool from a pleasure into a necessity.

Around 200 to 350 dirhams per person per day if you cook at home, 500 to 700 with restaurants and sightseeing. Withdraw locally: each withdrawal costs 35 dirhams in fees and most machines cap at 2,000. Always decline the machine's offer to charge you in euros.

No more than 2,000 per person. The dirham is not convertible outside Morocco: change back before you leave and keep your original exchange receipt.

Morocco moves to GMT all year from 20 September 2026, with no clock changes at all after that, Ramadan included. From then on, one hour behind France in winter and two in summer.

Yes, on foot: a traditional bread oven, a greengrocer, a butcher, several small shops, a pharmacy and a mosque.

Yes, there is a mosque in the village. Five times a day, including before dawn. Many guests remember it fondly. If you are a very light sleeper, bring earplugs.

It is treated, but most guests prefer bottled water, sold at the village shop.
