This Berber-style B&B is in Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. The B&B offers traditionally decorated rooms and free Wi-Fi.

Situated in Ait Ben Haddou, La Kasbah du Jardin is set in a Berber traditional décor and boasts an outdoor swimming pool and a terrace overlooking the mountains and the palm grove.
Most people come here for a few hours. I stayed for 3 days and could have stayed longer. It’s a lovely friendly town where you can spend time browsing through small shops, visiting art galleries, watching the night sky and soaking up the ambiance of this historical place. The highlight was a full day trip on horseback with Cheval Aït Ben Haddou. They have a Google page.

It's a really quiet town honestly.
It's a really quiet town honestly. It is a convenient place to stop, half way between Marrakesh and Merzouga but i feel like half a day would be plenty to see it all. I spent two days and it was definitely too long. The city itself is nothing special, rather touristy. Plenty of tour buses stop for the day, so it gets crowded between 11 to 5, but insanely quiet a night once they're all gone. I highly recommend La Terraza for dinner, they actually have delicious Italian food, with charcuterie and cheese, and their pizza and pasta are authentic. They also serve alcohol which is super hard to find in small morrocan towns like this one.

The kasbah was great to visit. Enjoyed the climb.
The kasbah was great to visit. Enjoyed the climb. Found some good shops for souvenirs. Brilliant views. Stunning scenery. Not much in the town / Main Street. Just a few cafes. The main attraction is the kasbah. Find a hotel with a roof top to enjoy the view and take in some star gazing too.

The Riad was outstanding and situated about 4 miles from Ait Benhaddou itself. Taxi about 50 dirhams to get there. Admission is free to the site, although people will try and get you to give them 100 dirhams to enter. The Hotel itself is sensational and the Manager Fatima and her team are brilliant. The view to the river gorge from the dining room is outstanding .

The ksar is beautiful and takes you back in time.
The ksar is beautiful and takes you back in time. Highly recommend climbing to the top for wonderful views. Had a hearty lunch at Auberge Azaddou Tamlalte which serves delicious tagine as well as spectacular views of the ksar. Would be careful about entering people's homes in the ksar despite warm invitations as they demand money after the house tour without saying anything about it upfront.

The setting is still unique, but due to the total lack of care and maintenance the place will be eroded in a few years. It is just a crumbling background to the fleecing of passing tourist trade. A walk to the top granary is still worth it for the view, but a couple of hours will be more than enough.
The staff was super helpful and friendly! Very welcoming, we could leave our bags in the reception area after check-out and they organized a transfer to Ouarzazate where they also stopped at an ATM for us and gave us a good restaurant recommendation.
Breakfast was served outside in the nice patio.
We can totally recommend this nice place for a visit in Ait Ben Haddou. The distance to the town center should not influence the decision, as everything here is super close and you reach the town in less than 2 min.
The host, Slimane, and his family are extremely nice and welcoming. The interiors are lovely. The breakfast was served on the terrace with a view of the mountains, it was simple but tasty, some Moroccan pancakes with honey, jam and cheese. We also had the tajine for dinner and it was the best one we had during our trip. The location is good if you want to rest from the chaos of Moroccan cities. It’s close to Ait Ben Haddou. It is also possible to use the hammam and have a massage. Highly recommended!
Omar and Mohammad did everything to have a wonderful time in Ait Ben Haddou! These guys are amazing, they offered us welcome drink, tips what to visit and even invited us to play cards. The place is safe and cosy, it has a parking lot, the rooms are clean with good AC and the food is so tasty. They serve authentic amazir dishes, like tajine and couscous. If you are interested in an unforgettable desert trip, talk to Omar because he organizes tours.
Within walking distance to Ait Ben Haddou with a footpath going through the gardens instead of along the main street. Far away enough from the hussle of all the other tourist traps in Air Ben Haddou itself.
The location also has a terrace with a beautiful view, where both dinner and breakfast are served. Breakfast was especially delicious. Nadine, our host, was very kind and told us a bit about the lifestyle in the area.
This riad was a great value and run by really kind people. When we asked about getting a tour of Air Ben Haddou the riad’s owner has his cousin — who is a tour guide — come over to show us around and the tour was fantastic. The food was good, though the dining space was a bit complex for multiple different groups.
We stayed for the night on our way to our desert camp. It was such a delightful surprise. The expansive property is so beautiful, the staff incredibly kind and helpful. The spa and hammam was great. The hotel manager, Eric, delighted our daughter was an impressive card trick at dinner. I highly recommend!
Staying at kasbah Tebi is an extra special experience not to be missed! Authentic and beautifully decorated kasbah in the most iconic traditional town, wonderful hosts and great food.Most people stay in the new town across the river - so you will Ha e the place to yourselves at night if you stay here!
Very friendly host/ owner who prepared outstanding meals. The riad/ hotel is on a hill, outside of the town and relatively modern, but with charm of the riad architecture with central courtyard. From our window, we saw the ruins of an old kasbah, which was interesting to visit.
The place has a parking in front of the hotel. There is also a restaurant in the hotel.
It is close to the Ksar Ait Ben Haddou hill (15min walking to the top) - Take the bridge and go around the shops - other routes the locals may apply fees to go to the top.
Unique and tastefully decorated property with very welcoming and cozy atmosphere set up by Idriss and his team. Best Moroccan salad (and breakfast) we encountered in 2 weeks of traveling. Very convenient location close to Aït Ben Haddou. Highly recommended!
Quiet location not far from Ait Ben Haddou; friendly English speaking owner; clean and cozy bungelow apartment; good WiFi; on site parking; grounds nicely landscaped; wonderful chef prepared dinners; we enjoyed everything about our stay here.
it’s like a fairytale; so beautifully decorated. graet breakfast, friendly staff, nice view over Ait Ben Haddou. It is quite convenient when you have your own transport since the riad is outside of the kasbah.
Great place with good location for visiting Ait Ben Haddou..just walk right over. We really appreciated the swimming pool. Staff were very friendly and cooked us a nice dinner.
Super stylish little hotel, we loved the decor, which was very light and modern! Breakfast was one of the best of our trip so far and the staff was really friendly.
Very unique riad inside Ait Ben Haddou, actually only one with electricity. Magical experience. Food was amazing inside cave, and great breakfast on terrace.
