L'Auberge Taghazout

Mouldy, Falsely advertised, dirty don’t come here. excited for our ‘private terrace’ that was listed under our room details, unfortunately didn’t exist. I received a WhatsApp confirming my booking, arrival time was asked, i gave a 3 hour time window and still received two whatsapp’s asking for a more precise arrival time which i thought was weird. On entering the room we noted a funny smell: mould masked with cleaning spray. the mould smell got worse and worse - in our room and in shared areas, mouldy and dirty. Overnight the whole room was so humid and moist because the door doesn’t close so it’s no surprise, also means it’s very loud. The “private bathroom” (1-2m2 ) is a shower with a toilet inside (also mouldy.) no towels, we asked, he said they will be brought soon. 5 hours later, towels reluctantly shoved in our face from behind a curtain after asking again. towels and sheets are stained. This place is a hostel which is fine, but the advertising and prices are dishonest. We asked about breakfast due to dietary needs and answer was: moroccan breakfast” we enquired about surf lessons or a good surf school and the answer was “meet me here tomorrow at 10am, it costs 30 euro.” minimum effort attitude. Don’t waste your money and risk getting sick from mould! find something better. We left after one night. The reception guy was nice and tried to be helpful and we sent a complaint to the manager but it’s been ignored until now. I don’t think we will get a refund. Terrible experience!! Absolutely a joke that you can book hyatt or riu palace for 20-30€ more per person and with breakfast and basic hygiene included! Never again

Although this hotel is in a great position above the public beach, it can be very noisy until 2am. The hotel is probably reasonable value compared to the larger chains but you get very little other than a bed and shower room. There is no aircon so cooling is achieved by leaving the room door open onto a public balcony which is not secure. There were no services such as soap, drinking water or cold drinks available. There was no storage just 4 pegs on the wall. The toilet/shower room needed a good clean but at least the water was hot. Some lights in the room didn’t work. Visitors with mobility problems would find the stairs very steep and without handrails on 2/3 floors which is dangerous. Room security was poor as it was obvious the door lock had been forced and poorly repaired.

I feel this is a bit of a “best kept secret” in Taghazout. The hotel is right on the beach and perfectly positioned to walk north or south along the beach every sunrise and sunsets there’s a common terrace on the top floor with a gorgeous view and the bedrooms are a great size for two people. The best thing about this hotel is the management staff. Khalid and zak where incredible hosts and took amazing care of me. I couldn’t rave about them enough is sorting everything out for me. I was so grateful to stay here and would only stay here when I go back 😊

The venue we would say is nothing like that described in the pictures. The room was dirty, hair on the floor, sand in the shower, bed sheets looked used. It was embarrassing. Around the property was like walking through a building site. We actually checked out within an hour after going for lunch and getting attacked by flies close by. We preferred to sacrifice a night payment than stay there. In a word- disgusting throughout. We would rate 0/10. Not true to other reviews or pictures. The receptionist was friendly.

The staff are fantastic, always giving a high standard of service with a smile. The place inside is very clean, and again the lady cleaner is very friendly, and does a superb laundry service. We had a great 5 night stay, and witnessed world championship surfing.

Great location steps to the ocean. Very relaxing terrace with scenic views. Friendly and helpful staff. Yummy breakfast with a variety of bread, yogurt, fruits, jams, moroccan pancakes and eggs. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for the location!
