Soo Bin | House in Bine el Ouidane, Beni Mellal-Khenifra

Positive: Our stay at Soo Bin in Bin El Ouidane was truly unforgettable. The hotel offers one of the most breathtaking views not only in the country, but honestly in the world. It’s the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and just enjoy the beauty of nature around you. What made our experience even more special was the owner, Mr. Youssef. He is incredibly down to earth, kind, and genuinely caring. He spent time playing with my son, which touched me deeply, and was always present, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. He is also a great listener, making us feel welcomed and at home throughout our stay.

Negative: Technicals issues at the rooms

Positive: The Villa was comfortable

Negative: I wasn’t told we would have to park and wait for a boat to come get us meaning popping out at any time was a whole process. We have lived in hotels and Airbnbs for 6 years and I have to work from wherever I am, especially in the week, and the woman made sly comments about us needing access to our phones and computers. We were also sent a message an hour after checkin time to tell us to message them one hour before getting there. We were already trying to arrange a boat to get there at this point. Lastly, not one of the staff were pleasant to me in all the time I was there. I’m British and stand out like a sore thumb, but my wife is Moroccan, so they just all ignore me and speak with her. We were not even given a tour of the site, so don’t even know about the socia areas or other pools until we were checking out. I wouldn’t return

Positive: really beautiful garden, clean room. good styling! loved the breakfaast

Negative: Hosts spoke very little english so was hard to communicate. At some times the cleaner was the only one available, and she also didn't speak any french. They we're very friendly though. Place is hard to find.

Positive: I think you would call Soo Bin a hidden gem as it is a real adventure trying to find the place. There are no signs for it and fortunately the manager had WhatsApp-ed me the location and we shared our location once we were in the vicinity. It is truly a little oasis in the middle of nowhere. We were so impressed with the place that we extended our stay another night. The gardens and seating areas around the bungalows are heavenly and the raised elevation of the facility allows for great views of the distance neighbors. The manager, Majid was very professional and attentive. The food and ambience at the restaurant were both top notch.

Negative: There were some issues with the shower in our bathroom leading to some flooding which made its way into the main room.

Positive: Majid the GM welcomed us friendly and showed us everything. He gave us a room upgrade and we stayed in the "Petit Cathedrale" a spacious room with a large double bed, couch, bathroom, a terrace and a great view on the mountains. It's absolutely silent, the garden is nice and well maintained. The lake Bin el Ouidane is in 30 minutes walking distance. Breakfast and also dinner was delicous. We could choose what we wanted to eat and they cooked it. Very tasty, original marrocain dishes. We would come of course again. Baraka allah uffik, shoukran!

Negative: Soo Bin is not easy to find. A better discription would be helpful.

Positive: Very pretty place and modern. Nice size room very good Bed and bathroom excellant breakfast. Suppr good well presented.

Negative: I thought that the very friendly manager was perhaps insincere. He charged too much for supper.

Positive: Absolutely worth the detour! Soo Bin has the most stunning grounds and garden. Rooms are artfully decorated with lots of attention to detail. Majid is a friendly and welcoming host and the food was delicious! The lower levels of the reservoir did not take away from our experience, still such a stunning area to explore and only a 10 minute walk to the waterfront. 10/10.

Positive: This is absolutely wonderful place in wonderful sorrounding. The nature there is very rough, dry, red soil and rocks with remote olive trees and blue lake that depending on the season is close or bit distant to the hotel. Still it makes you feel being in really remote, quiet place and makes you relaxed. The silence in the night and stars above you are wonderful. In contrast to the rough nature the garden is full of green, flowers, vegetables and herbs - some of them you will taste during your stay. Rooms are clean and of a reasonable size - all is very clean and decorated with taste. During our short stay we enjoyed small pool but the other larger is under construction. We also had quad trip and I went for a 3 hours walk being absolutely alone in a beautiful nature. There are bikes as well. There are not many food options in a reasonable proximity but the food served by the ladies there was one of the best we had in Marocco starting from large breakfasts to lunches and dinners. Overall great experience and if you are not on the tight budget (yes, the place and the food is not the cheap) I very much recommend visiting Bin Ouidane and staying in Soo Bin. As long as you do not fancy large luxurious resorts the owner and his crew and the place will make your stay memorable. I will miss it.

Negative: Our stay was too short:).
