Ksar Salha

"Peaceful, Authentic, and Full of Heart" If you're looking for a place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself, Ksar Salha is it. The atmosphere is calm, soothing, and filled with positive energy. The garden is lush and well maintained, the pool is spotless, and everything is designed to promote relaxation. The rooms are charming and very comfortable, with great attention to detail in both style and cleanliness. We especially appreciated the homemade meals, which were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The team was amazing — attentive, kind, and discreet. We felt truly cared for without ever being overwhelmed. This place is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone in need of peace and beauty.

"A Magical Retreat" Ksar Salha is truly a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. The setting is absolutely breathtaking — surrounded by peaceful nature, with stunning views of the mountains and beautiful gardens. Our room was cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated with authentic Moroccan touches. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated. We stayed for several nights, and the breakfast was different each day — always fresh, generous, and served with a smile. The dinners were also delicious, offering a wonderful taste of local cuisine. What made the stay even more special was the staff. Everyone is genuinely welcoming, helpful, and respectful of your privacy. We left feeling completely recharged. I can’t recommend Ksar Salha enough!

This hotel has its charms, but significant drawbacks. The Positives: Host Fatiha is highly responsive, which was invaluable with our young child - she even ensured our taxi had a car seat. The Atlas Mountain views are breathtaking, and the hotel grounds are beautiful, featuring tortoises and peacocks. The traditional architecture adds to the charm. If you are very open-minded and want to go somewhere to completely switch off from the outside world, to purposely not have much choice or much to do, and immerse yourself into Moroccan family life, this is a perfect place to escape to. The Negatives: However, several issues made our stay disappointing. Firstly, the food is not great. For a place that refuses to allow you to bring any food in (and considering there being no restaurants or shops anywhere nearby), the menu is fairly limited, meaning you are struggling to pick and choose what to have after a few nights. The cocktails are tasteless and expensive for what they are. There is no afternoon tea or honesty bar, so all you can eat are the lunch and evening meals. I've seen one review describe these meals as Michelin-worthy - this is just untrue. The meals are not good (we tried five separate main dishes), often dominated by one main flavour and very overcooked. Just one example, the Bastila contained incredibly dark, tough pieces of chicken, and had a huge amount of cinnamon thrown over the top of it. It was really unpleasant. Additionally, we were never proactively asked if we wanted anything, whether that be a drink, pool towels or even our room cleaned. Everything we did get we had to ask for, which is fine, but it does change the experience and made us feel like a nuisance. There are also parts of the hotel that just need improving - the gym does not really exist (the only thing that worked were a pair of dumbbells), the rooms need a deep clean (we found a cockroach in our bed, and whilst this could be due to the rain outside, the dirt underneath our bed suggested it could have been there a while), the smell of the animals kept at the property made for an unpleasant smell by the pool and the towels provided to us were damp. Admittedly we did stay at Ksar Salha during a quiet period (one night we were the only guests), and perhaps we are just not the right type of guests for a place like this, but unfortunately we were really let down by our stay and ended up leaving a night earlier. To their credit, Fatiha and her husband did apologise for the two issues we raised, but Fatiha only gave us a refund for the last evening meal when we asked what they would do about the issues encountered. This summed up our stay.
