Hotel Es Salam

Ouarzazate

I've just noticed that (despite all being great) there's no very recent review for Dar Es Salam. But don't worry, nothing has changed, it's very much still a wonderfully friendly, beautifully restored and amazingly good value place to stay.... then there's that scrummy breakfast too.
This is one of my favourites when passing through Skoura... just booking a third (sadly brief) stay in the past 6 months.

Nothing has changed.

My friends and I spent one night here and wish we had time to spend more. The place was wonderful, and the hosts even better, welcoming us with tea and dates, and showing us through the restoration of the riad.  Great pool and an amazing garden. We also enjoyed a very nice traditional supper and breakfast. It’s location is just far enough from town to be a quiet oasis, yet it’s a quick trip in if you need something. There were few guests in the Dar that night so we may have received extra attention, however the kindness of the hosts was genuine.

Great place to spend time!

We stayed here one night and it was great! Dinner and breakfast were delicious. They have a beautiful garden, private parking place and a nice swimming pool and a very friendly host. If your in Skoura we would defenitly recommend this Kasbah. 

Beautiful traditional kashba

We stayed there because the manager of our hotel in Marrakesch recommended it. It was a little hard to find but it was totally worth it. The staff was very friendly and the place is beautiful and clean. However, it was a bit cold. I think it would be great for going in better weather as there is a pool.

Very nice staff and good food

I just spent 5 nights at this lovely hotel. It’s the perfect place to relax and a good base for exploring the area.

I particularly liked the large garden with fruits, flowers and herbs, where care was taken to create little areas to sit and rest, talk, swing in a hammock, read a book… it’s really special. The swimming pool was also in a lovely location, in a dedicated corner of the garden, with sun loungers and towels, so you feel you have relative privacy and can really relax. The water was not chlorinated and seemed pretty clean (and very refreshing after some time in the sun). There are not that many rooms so you have a lot of space to enjoy the place. It seemed popular with young couples.

The other part that is great about this particular Kasbah (and there are so many in and around Skoura) is the staff. Lahcine, in particular, was excellent. I was so surprised when he called me as soon as I placed my reservation online, to check what time I was arriving, and whether I need a lift from the bus/taxi stop (in English!). And since then he was both professional and extremely helpful with local information and organizing whatever I asked for, without ever once crossing the line. The staff are super nice, but never intrusive, and mostly you just feel you have the place to yourself. You can really feel at home here. If you choose to dine in, they check with you what you would like to eat for dinner, and go out of your way to accommodate your preferences. Delicious breakfast is served in a shaded part of the garden: what a way to start your day!

I also liked the unobtrusive décor / colour scheme of the place. The Kasbah rooms and their bathrooms are simple and a little on the small side, but there are bigger rooms for families in another part of the garden.

Areas for improvement: Would be nice to have better wifi and somewhere to put your clothes (shelves/wardrobe/hangers) in the room. 

If you come to Skoura, don’t miss the Monday morning souk! Also recommended: exploring the oasis and so many kasbahs slowly crumbing (I think these are just as fascinating as the ones that have been turned into museums), and tasting the local fromage de chevre.

Just lovely! An oasis within an oasis

Friendly staff and very private.
Room very comfortable, private and well found.
Larcon was excellent and although we arrived late(ish) was on hand to greet and provide an excellent dinner at hour requested.
Exciting place to be even though we were the only residents for the one night we stayed.

Pool looked very inviting but weather had turned and was cool and rained during the night. Could see it definitely had a chill-out factor to it on hot days.

Excellent "Knights of Arabia" style place.

What a wonderful place! It felt like a fairytale. We stayed in the family home near the pool with our 4 kids (16-18 years) for 4 days and had a great time. Enjoyed the Kasbah, the scenery, the relaxed atmosphere in Skoura. We made 2 great tips in nature: a VTT tour through the palmerie and a hiking tour through the mountain and a personal visit to a berber village/family arranged by the Kasbah. It was really a great experience which we could recommend to everyone.
