"Pros: Nice family feel. But majority of the guests are on the surf packages so they leave in the morning and no one will be in the hostel till dinner which can be seen as a plus or a minus. Beautiful terrace and hard working staff and volunteers Cons: Having a curfew of midnight as an adult feels a little off. You are only able to enter with a physical key that I believe only the volunteers have. I think this could become unsafe if someone is separated or left outside, there should be a digital code activated door installed. The owner was hard to get a read on! Sometimes lovely and sue or friendly and sometimes very suspicious looking at people as if they'd stolen something!" ~Adam

"Pros: Staying with Jawad at the Chillsurfer Hostel has truly been a special experience! The facilities are absolutely beautiful. I arrived sick, and was offered fresh ginger and lemon tea several time, and also extra blankets and support. The vibe here is super special, all the people have breakfast and the (absolutely delicious) dinners all together. The dorms and rooms are some of the nicest I have seen in Morocco. The location is also perfect, as you can chill in Tamraght or take a nice beach walk to the more busy Taghazout if you feel like it. The tours the hostel offers are organized by Jawad, the host himself and are thus unique, and not the cookie cutter touristy stuff. I can only recommend to join a day at the Secret Valley where you can swim in the clear waters of a gorge and get a super delicious lunch! Jawad also helped me find a good horse back riding tour with a friend of his. The horse I rode was super calm and chill, and I felt very safe to galoppe along the beach!" ~Hannah
