It is a lovely hotel, everyone is friendly and helpful. It is cozy and tidy. The view is magnificent, just behind the hotel is a palmery, futher is the town of Ouarzazat and you see the mountain range with snowcapped summits. Tasty meals. Here you really relax and enjoy. Rik and Christine

We arrived at this hotel only to have a lunch but finally we stayed 3 days. The staff was the kindest we found in Morocco: Khalid the receptionist welcome us warmly and take us to the restaurant. There, Bahsini the waiter make us laugh a lot while he was serving us the tasty food cooked in the same riad. After,... More

Away from the main drag on the North edge of town. An attractive building with interesting, traditional and slightly quirky decor and a welcoming feel. Great view to the mountains from the terrace. Good food. Comfortable room. The staff were very patient, helpful and had a good sense of humour. One of us had a really bad head cold and... More

We stayed at Dar Barbara two times during our trip in Morocco; the first time after being put in another "good" hotel by a bad travel agent. The Riad is very quiet, clean and has good AC. The food is excellent, and Hassan and his family are very friendly and make you feel at home immediately. The only slight disadvantage... More

The reception was warm and inviting, the food great, the rooms are just lovely and the owner Jilly is just darling! Wish I was there again! Great ambiance, lovely views from the roof terrace and large, spacious rooms. Personnel is most charming and cordial!

I loved this place. Abdul was a very warm and attentive host and our waiter (didn't get his name) was charming and funny and incredibly welcoming. We had dinner there both nights and the food was great. Good breakfast, too. We had such welcoming hosts at the four riads we stayed at in Morocco, and these guys were definitely some... More

We were booked at this hotel through our tour operator Desert Majesty. When we arrived we were greeted very pleasantly & made welcome. We weren't sure what to expect since the tour operator called it a ethic hotel. Everything was very clean and comfortable, but simple. When we couldn't get our heat on they happily returned 2 times until we... More

After a not so great experience at another hotel in Ouarzazate, we looked around for a new option. Dar Barbara is exactly what we were looking for. Hassan, the owner, welcomed us so sincerely upon our arrival and the rest of his staff just couldn't have been kinder. The room was comfortable, the room was nice, the Dar itself is... More

From the second you step inside, you are greeted by friendly and hilarious staff. The place feels like home. The dining room is great in the evenings when delicious tajines are prepared and music fills the evening. DUring the day, the rooftop terrace is perfect for breakfast and relaxing. It's a relaxing place. In fact, I've been back several times.... More
