Ermitage D'akchour

I came to this hotel to have a drink after a wonderful hike, attracted by its fine reputation and elegant setting. Unfortunately, no one came to greet me or offer a menu, despite my waiting on the terrace. I eventually went inside to ask if anyone was available; the owner asked that someone come out to take my order, but no one ever did.
The place, though beautiful, felt deserted and lifeless. A shame, as a venue of this standing deserves a level of service worthy of its image.

A peaceful haven that has been lovingly created, tended and shared. This was one of my highlights of my trip to Morocco. These days it’s hard to find a place like this that truly allows one to unplug and spiritually recharge in the simple beauty and calm of natural surroundings. All staff were so warm, welcoming and helpful. All was comfortable and restorative.

Renovated and lovelier since my last visit—it’s always a pleasure to stay here and this time there were even more updates to the grounds and seating areas. It’s such a beautiful ambiance and set up for tots relaxation and appreciation of nature.
It’s not a place to rush. The food is good, the views and architecture are stunning. How it’s all been achieved in such a location is a testament to the love and attention to detail.
It’s not a place for any old tourist, but for lovers of beauty, art, nature, peace.

This place was absolutely beautiful — so peaceful, with lots of places to sit and relax and enjoy the surrounding nature and the calming sounds of the running stream. The staff were very kind and helpful as well. 10/10 would come back, and we wish we could have stayed here longer!

My husband and I had the most exhilarating experience at l’Ermitage Akchour. From the moment we entered this unique ecolodge nested between the river and the Mountains, we immediately felt submerged with tranquility, reconnected to nature and transported to an out of time state of the art sanctuary with extraordinary layout and architecture.
Hats off to the establishment for the outstanding attentive service and professionalism of all staff, the pristine cleanliness of the premise as well as the rooms and mostly for the exquisite farm to table kitchen. We could not recommend this place enough, a true Moroccan Gem that checks all criteria for a relaxing getaway that is sure to make anyone forget about the busy city life.

Beautifully curated natural space. We very much enjoyed the few days we stopped by.
My mother and I loved the herb gardens and the peaceful afternoon we spent relaxing listening to the water and chatting by stream/ spring that ran on the land.
The staff were charming, helpful and friendly making it feel like a family ran place. Yassin was a firm favourite with my mother & I.
Our hike with ocal guide Mustapher is well recommended.

Amazing experience at Ermitage in Akchour. We spent this weekend there with a group of friends and it was all we hoped for and more. The facilities, the rooms and especially the surroundings were breathtaking. The personnel were very helpful and made our stay even more delightful. The food was very tasteful and all local which we appreciated. A very special thanks to Brahim in the reception, our wonderful guide Othmane and Moad the guitarist who indulged us in our hype during dinner. Will definitely come back with my family and friends.

What a gem! We stayed at the Ermitage during our multi-day trek through the gorgeous Talassemtane NP with its endemic fir trees and cedars of the Atlas. Our stay at the Ermitage ecolodge was by far the most luxurious of the region. From its super comfortable and tastefully decorated chalets, large shower, fire at night, lots of lounge areas in the beautiful garden from their own turquoise rock pool we really found ourselves in a little paradise. Lots of birds around. The onsite restaurant serves delicious tajines, local starters (the warm local goat cheese with honey and nuts was a killer! ) in a warm setting. We took the delicious and bountiful breakfast outside on the terrace overlooking the mountains. The staff was most welcoming and some spoke French and some spoke English. Would definition highly recommend a few days here to hike around to the waterfall (we saw monkeys along the trail), God’s bridge and just chill out.

In fact, everything about our stay was incredibly good. The reception and communication beforehand was very easy and fast, we could check in earlier which was very nice with a toddler who still had to sleep, the chalets were incredibly beautiful and the friendliness and service of all employees was also very good. In short: we had a wonderful time and far too short. Our family could easily have stayed here much longer.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at L'Ermitage d'Akchour during my trip to Morocco, and I can confidently say it was the highlight of my journey. While the setting may initially seem more suited for a couple's getaway, I found it to be an absolutely perfect choice for solo female travelers as well (which was my case).
What truly sets L'Ermitage apart of this amazing beautiful natural setting is the exceptional staff, particularly Mey the manager. They go above and beyond to ensure a welcoming and safe environment. I will always cherish the inspiring conversation I had with Mey; her kindness and warmth left a lasting impression on me.
The serene atmosphere, beautiful surroundings and delicious food made for an unforgettable experience, and I felt completely at ease throughout my stay. I highly recommend L'Ermitage d'Akchour to anyone visiting Morocco—it's a "hidden" gem that offers both comfort and inspiration!

I'm a Platinum Elite member with the IHG Group, and the Hilton Hotels. L' Ermitage d' Akchour was one of the most amazing places that I have visited. The location, the view from our suite & the gardens were the most beautiful. The staff, and specifically Mr. Yasine was extremely helpful & professional (both Yasines). The restaurant staff, Mohamad from housekeeping, the drivers Khalid & Khalid were great.
My family & I had a great time.
My only advice to the owner: pls do not neglect the maintenance, and pls remember it's not difficult to reach the top, however it's extremely difficult to remain at the top. I wish you & your staff all the success.

Dear Team,
I wanted to share my experience from my recent stay at your hotel, as I believe feedback can help improve services.
Firstly, I would like to commend you on the cleanliness of the cabin and the showers; both were well-maintained and made our stay more comfortable. However, we did encounter an issue with the water supply but it was restored within 5 minutes. I also want to extend my thanks to the receptionists for booking all the activities and for arranging the transfers to and from Tangers; it made our travel much more convenient.
Unfortunately, my experience this year was not as positive as last year’s visit. While I found the food to be delicious and enjoyed the dining options, I did notice that the overall service was not as good as last year and I also faced challenges with the language barrier, particularly with one waitress who was rude and stated that she did not speak English, making communication difficult.
Additionally, the absence of Wi-Fi in the room is a bit inconvenient, even though I understand the intention behind encouraging guests to disconnect.
I appreciate the efforts your team makes to ensure a pleasant stay, and I hope my feedback can assist in enhancing the guest experience in the future.
Best.

Every cent spent on this stay was absolutely worth it! I give a perfect 10/10 for everything. The receptionist and driver were both professional and friendly.
The food was delicious, the rooms were clean, and the view was breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely loved our stay here! A beautiful oasis in Akchour. The staff is super friendly, the place is so cozy and well designed and the food is high quality and all made from local produce. It is expensive but worth is if you want to go unwind in nature.
There are so many seating areas that are so calming and picturesque you can just sit and u wind with a book and enjoy beautiful sounds and sights of nature. It also only has a f w rooms so although it was fully booked we felt like it was still so clam and quiet.
We booked the regular room and it was very clean and had all the amenities you would need.
They also arranged for a driver to bring us to the resort from Chefchauen and to take us to tangier where we were staying next.

This location is absolutely stunning and beautiful. Everything is so comfortable and there are so many nooks to sit and relax. The staff is also spectacular and so kind. The rivers are beautiful and this place is a must visit in Morocco. I look forward to the day I can go back and visit.
