“Kasbah 17th-21st Nov. 2012”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

Initially we were shocked at how far away from ANYTHING it was!!
The property did not seem to be finished. There were lots of loose wiring hanging where lights should have been attached!! There was no spa or fitness centre as we had been told there was and although the pool was large and a lovely spot, it was too dirty to get into which was disappointing!
Our heating did not work until the day before we left and we had numerous problems getting the TV to work.
The cost of getting into Marrakech, which was about a 50 minute drive was £40 round trip which when getting away for a bargain break with Voyage Prive made it more expensive.
The food was very good but we never knew what we were getting until it was presented to us!
However, all that said the staff were delightful and so attentive and welcoming.
Don't know how long they will stay, however, as the staff have to multi- task and work 16 hour days!!! That didn't make us feel good. The driver is a lovely gentleman! Even gave me his gallbier to wear when I was so cold!
Great potential but far from the 5 star we were expecting...
NB if you go to the Square PLEASE spend afew £'s and rescue some of the sad baby tortoises sold for £2 and take them back to the grounds leading to the hotel and set them free!!! It makes you feel good!

Room Tip: We had one of the better rooms with a large bath. ( room 1) some rooms only have showers.

Dear guest,
I hope your return went well ...
Thank you for your testimony on TripAdvisor, I remember you very well Madam, you were crying and tears on the last day of your departure and you repeat that you had a great time and you will come back next year! But you're the only note our establishment as average! we really do not understand, if this is not the hypocrysie I do not know what it is!! However, my team and I were really shocked when we read your comment because we were not expecting that! even the driver that you treat nice was very disappointed when he read your comment ("I do it préciise not lend his djellaba, he gave it to you and you are left with")

Let me first tell you that you you are downright wrong destination, as you originally thought we were in the Jamaa el Fna
it's your fault and not ours because our website is all very well specified

To respond to points raised in your comment:
(1) I said that Yassin and Mounir all the staff work 9 hours a day and not 16 hours like you say! it is absurd to lie like that on forums! My staff tells you that he is disappointed with your comments, they really tried to make you feel at home, they are very disappointed!
(2) Transfer to the airport is free and does not coast £ 40 as you say!
If you paid a surplus is that you want a private car for you (round trip) to downtown center , to my knowledge, this service is not free in any other institution in our country. in our guest house it's coast 17 € or 200dhs by travel
(3) you say that the pool was dirty! and you knew that it was normal for the whole week it rained
(4) about our restaurant : I recall that we serve organic produce from the farm hosting the kasbah, still we consider our customers as our guests in the house, so we can not announce the menu in advance, if I were your guest you would tell me what would the menu? lol thank you god, we have a great leader and our local kitchen is very good , and appeals to all our guests, you just have to read the other reviews on trip advisor and all review sites found on the web
Despite your comment to us disappointed, know that you would always welcome, our house is yours.

“Beautiful house, charming staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

I really enjoyed my stay at Kasbah Igoudar. I booked it through a deal with Voyage Prive, and it was excellent value. The hotel is indeed a while from Marrakech - 45km, about 40minutes in a taxi. However, the drive is beautiful and it is well worth staying closer to the Atlas Mountains.
The rooms were comfortable and I would describe them as "simple luxury". My only complaint would be that the water pressure in the shower is not great.
We ate in the hotel a number of times, all the food is prepared freshly by a Berber lady and it is excellent. The staff were very accommodating, letting us eat in the 'snug', and also built a fire to keep us warm at night.
You can borrow bikes from the hotel for free which was good fun, as the surrounding area is beautiful and a bike is much easier than foot to get around. We also did one of the day trips to Imlil, in the Atlas Mountains, which was organised by the hotel. They were very flexible and helpful.
I didn't go in the pool as the weather wasn't great but the pool area itself is lovely, with a bar, sun lounger 'beds' and table tennis.
Overall, it was a very relaxing and romantic trip. If you want to be going out every night then it is not the right location, but it is perfect if you want to get away from it all.

“Kasbah Igoudar - fabulous holiday!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We are no longer the gung ho travellers we once were. Now older and poorer, we were a bit anxious about our trip to Morocco. We shouldn't have worried in the least: all at the Kasbah really looked after us well, managing the tricky balance of being friendly and caring, whilst giving us our privacy. The styling is immaculate, modern yet Moroccan, the Kasbah and our room was luxurious: the view of the snow topped Atlas Mountains as you ate superb meals, sunbathed or swam in the sunshine was exotic and idyllic. The airport transfers made getting to the Kasbah stress free: it also worked out well taking a day trip into Marrakesh, with taxis that the Kasbah staff arranged for us. We enjoyed the zest of the city whilst having the tranquility of Igoudar to escape back to. We stayed for four days, and will be returning for a longer trip to take advantage of all the trips they offer: eg: quad biking, cycling, donkey riding, all in the mountains: trips to nomadic settlements, visiting legendary waterfalls etc...As it was, one of the staff took us on an impromptu walk to a local village: fantastic. He was also a fabulous guitar player! We came away with cash on our pocket (the holiday was good value) and some lovely memories.

Room Tip: Go for a suite for added luxury: but you're still getting a lovely room choosing standard!

“Charming Kasbah , environmentally responsible , excellent suite and view , excellent hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

We visited Morocco for the first time and couldn't have imagined a better accommodation to explore the wonderful country side of marrakech and to relax like never we did than Kasbah Igoudar after a trip in the desert . We liked the architecture, the friendly and very helpful staff (especially if you loose your rom card :) ...), the quiet location ear to atlas mountain ad far from the busy and noisy city of marrakech, the breakfast in the morning sun and the beautiful view from the pool, the individual style of the comfortable and clean rooms (we had two different rooms because we got an upgrade for the suite . We appreciated the staff's recommendations regarding dining, excursions... Compared to our next Hotel (Paradis Plage near Agadir) the price was really fair. If there is anything which could be improved it's the selection of the breakfast: after a couple of days, things started to repeat, and there was not really a choice; but this was not really an issue, especially because the breakfast was still very tasty.
