Reviews
The lighting in the room is generally dim, and the facilities are relatively old. It's easy to get water everywhere when taking a shower.
The breakfast variety and quantity are relatively small, which is the least I have had in Morocco for a few days.
The owner of the house always looks at people with a sneaky look, which always feels weird...
