As mentioned we wanted to stay for dinner but we were told the chef was asleep and unable to cook that night despite us arranging it in good time according to the hotel. Then the chef contacted us to say he would cook but then the hotel staff told us when we went to go to the restaurant that it was still not possible to eat at the hotel. So we had to go out and we were really lucky to find an amazing place called Bab Echallal.

This was an immensely beautiful place and the swimming pool and loungers- icing on the cake. loved our Berber room. The manager Redouane was fantastic, so helpful and Ayou also was a superstar. The breakfast was gorgeous which is why we wanted to stay for dinner. The place is so clean. Redouane and Ayou keep on top of all the outside areas and the cleaning girl does a great job of cleaning the rooms. The location is exquisite so near the beautiful falls. Good to have parking directly outside.

Great place surrounded by beautiful nature! I recommend to take the dinners because they are delicious. The place is very close to the waterfalls. We regret that we did not plan to stay for more than one night, because in such a place it is worth, if you really want to do a peaceful route around the waterfalls, cave, or evening walk around the area, to use the pool. During our visit we had the opportunity to talk to a very nice and helpful employee, who told us many interesting facts about the area and advised us to go to the Mexican village, which we saw in the distance during the walk, and it was a very good idea!

This was by far our favourite stay, we feel everything on this holiday was 10/10, this would get an 11 out of 10! The staff were amazing from the minute we checked in, he was so accommodating to us! Anything we asked he answered without hesitation and assisted us as much as he could, even with our journey to Rabat! It was super close to the amazing waterfall hike, less than 5 minutes and you are heading to the famous falls! We will definitely be back!

Amazing location on walking distance to the waterfall. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and more than willing to provide tips and backgroun information on Ouzoud and all the activities. The swimming pool is a nice addition to the accomodation to relax after hiking to the falls. Highly recommend to visit the falls around 9 AM before all the tour buses arrive to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the falls. Be mindfull of the monkeys there as the young ones tend to jump on to you ;). We had dinner twice in the hotel and was also very nice with a view on the mountains. Highly recommend going here!

We really enjoyed our stay at Dar Aya. The location is perfect to visit the Ouzoud waterfalls. Dar Aya has great rooms, a swimming pool with an amazing view and the breakfast and diner were delicious. The owner and the staff are very kind. Special thanks to Redouane for welcoming us so well and showing us the region of the waterfalls. You are a wonderful person and this is a beautiful moment that we definitely remember from our holiday. We are definitely thinking of coming back.

The accommodation is just a few minutes' walk from the waterfall. It is located in a beautiful setting, with a stunning view of the valley and the mountains. The building is lovely, and the rooms are clean and tastefully furnished. You can also admire the surrounding mountains from the pool. The host is very helpful and incredibly kind. We only spent one night here, but we already regret planning it that way — we would have gladly stayed longer.

This little hotel was a welcome surprise. It’s very close to the falls (in walking distance), tastefully decorated and the staff were lovely. We’re sorry we couldn’t have stayed longer.

I had a great stay at this hotel! It has a beautiful Moroccan style. The rooms are charming and very clean, making our stay even more comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming—they even accommodated us late at night after we had car troubles. Close to Ouzoud waterfall. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

The bathroom could do with a slight upgrade. The toilet and shower are basic, although the water pressure in the shower is good and warm water abundant. Other than that, perfect!

We booked last minute on a whim and did not expect much. This place surprised us. The room was excellent, double bed very comfy. Breakfast was the most elaborate and tasty we had in Morocco, especially considering the fair price of the stay. But the best of all is the little garden and pool area which is very relaxing, sunny and cosy. We could not spend much time there unfortunately as we only arrived late and had to leave the next morning, but I think this is a great place to unwind for a few days. And the Ouzoud waterfalls are beautiful! Aya represents great value for money and the owner is helpful and friendly. Recommended!

The place is amazing, comfortable rooms, beautiful rooms and the pool is absolutely amazing. The host is genuinely friendly and will do anything to accommodate you. The warmest welcome we received in Morocco. We wish we stayed longer.

Some of the features are a little dated - window shutters, the shower etc - but all perfectly serviceable.

Beautiful building, big room, super friendly and helpful staff. Ignore Google Maps, it hasn't got a clue - the location is brilliant! There's a cut through to the main part of the village with the restaurants and path to the falls that takes all of 5 minutes. Meaning you get all of the benefits of being a bit further away from the center while still being able to get around easily.

We received an incredibly warm welcome, which made us feel right at home. The host is exceptional. The entire house and the garden were furnished with a lot of love. The pool was clean and very inviting. The perfect place to cool off after a hike to the waterfalls. We definitely recommend the dinner, it was really delicious. And you should be at the waterfalls around 8:30. We were the only tourists there.

Our stay at Dar Aya was so lovely! The breakfast room was stunning!! And the pool area was so nice. Only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property.

The sink in the bathroom was nice to look at but a bit inconvenient.

It was in a calm place and the whole property is beautiful. Especially the pool and the good food stands out. Also there is a really good view of the waterfall 3 minutes by foot away.
