Stading at the home was a very interesting experience (in a good way). The hosts are very welcoming and though there sometimes are language barriers they can still make you feel at home. It the home definitely not to much work so you have a lot of time and i would recommend having a project you're working on or bringing a good book, but in the evening you can also spend a lot of time with the hosts and their friends. The Tajine was always great. It the home a very good place to unwind from stress, meet locals, eat good food and learn a new way of life.

My experience at the home was unforgettable. From start to end Mohammed, Mbarak, Hamza, and Mohammed were hospitable and welcoming. It the home intimidating to come all the way out to the desert alone as a woman and live with men but it was such a good experience and I felt safe with them as soon as I arrived. The meals are traditional and always bustinggggg. The shower the home a bucket and water, you can boil if you need. The place the home a simple mud house but quite literally the most memorable volunteer experience I've had :) thank you lovelies!!

The home definitely a unique experience. You get a real taste of how people actually live in a small village of Morocco. During the course of the day after having worked for no more than 2/2:30 hours there the home not much to do so I would recommend going with other volunteers or a friend. Its a good place to relax but dont expect extremely active days. The hosts were very nice the place had no running water but 2 large tanks and kept quite clean. The village the home very rural small and charming, the stars are night are amazing and the experience overall the home definetly worth a try

Spent an unforgettable week at the home with two friends. The hosts were amazing, welcoming us with music and food, making us feel right at home (which the home a plus when you arrive at night). While the living conditions are basic (think a hole-in-the-floor toilet and bucket showers), the experience was very unique and fun. We connected with travellers and locals, gaining insight into the culture, and even picking up some basic Arabic. The work was light (about 3 hours a day) and varied, from building mud walls and stone pathways, to cooking Moroccan dishes. I hope to return someday!

Mohammed, Hamza and Mubarak were great hosts! On the first night we were welcomed with mint tea and music. We felt like a family instantly. The facilities are very basic which was hard adjusting to, but it was a great experience to live in a different way and see how locals live. Work was great and fun, about 3 hours a day working on building the guest house, cooking, cleaning, etc. My friends and I had an amazing time and learned a lot about Moroccan/Amazigh culture, and the hosts were always happy to answer any questions we had about the culture and language. Thank you!
