Fantastic lodge. Pure luxury after spending time in the mountains trekking and staying in the Gite’s (guest houses) in the small villages.
Very comfortable and clean rooms - my room had a fantastic view over Imlil Valley.
The food was delicious and plentiful - breakfast were always a real treat with flat bread (made with semolina) and fig jam. Fresh eggs with cheese and a lovely glass of coffee.
Hamid (the manager of the lodge) could not do enough to make my stay comfortable.
I will certainly stay here again if I visit Imlil in the future.response / report this review -

We had an awesome lunch stop here during our Imlil hike. Friendly welcome, great fresh food, nice views of the valley and mountains.

The staff here are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic views over Imlil towards the Toubkal Massif. The food is the best and most authentic I have had in the Atlas. Quiet at night too.

Jamal answered promptly to all my emails/questions prior to my Toubkal trip and he waited almost 2 hours for me to clear this insanely chaotic immigration queue at Marrakech airport. Pick-up was in a nice 4x4 , took about 1 hour 15 mins and cost 40 EUR one-way to the Imlil Lodge.
However, he gave me a grumpy greeting because I made him wait (which wasn't really my fault) and then sped aggressively through the night (on those dodgy roads!) to make up for the lost time.
The Lodge itself is situated a good 25 minute hike steep up the hill in Tamatert outside of Imlil and I was charged 30 EUR per night for the dorm bed although other booking sites state 14.50 EUR. I was given the explanation that this price only counts at full occupancy of the dorm but since I was travelling by myself and unfortunately nobody else stayed these days I had to pay more - I don't get the logic.
Rooms are basic, spacious and clean. Breakfast was average and ample + I could rent trekking poles for 3 EUR/day. WiFi only works in the rooms downstairs but upstairs is a nice roof-top terrace. It's a peaceful place, an excellent base for before and after a big hike up the mountains.
On the last day another guest has booked/paid transport back to the airport but when I tried to share the ride with him they said I must additionally pay the full price of 40 EUR as transport cost is (suddenly) by person. He wasn't even willing to meet the price in the middle to make it more reasonable. I read other comments here where couples and families were picked up altogether for 40 EUR and I can't imagine they paid per person. He only wanted to squeeze out as much money as possible which was a stupid thing to do, really!
I had to walk all the way back down to the village where I negotiated a 22 EUR private taxi ride back to Marrakech.
They still have to learn a lot about customer service at this place: Guests come back if u "wow" them and not if you let them leave with a greedy/bad impression right at your doorstepresponse / report this review
