 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing stay at Golden Wave! The hosts/hostel manager were so kind and helpful. The food there was amazing and cheap, we can really recommend the family dinners and the tasty breakfast :) wonderful views on the ocean inclusive!
Also, our 3 bed room was comfy, had a lot of space and the beds as well as the blankets were very conformable. We would always come back 😊

The rooms and common areas are clean and spacious. There's a beautiful terrace with a great ocean view. The wifi is strong and stable. The hosts and the whole staff are super nice and friendly people. We stayed for almost 2 weeks and really felt at home! Few times a week they organize 'family dinners' with delicious local meals. Such a great vibe! Totally recommend! 🥰

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is amazing! People are lovely, Mohammed will try to do everything to make sure you get what you need, Hassam is a great chef with Gavi which is also a very nice guy! Join the family dinner anytime possible, you wont regret!

The internet is good for those that work remotely, the rooms are nice with comfortable bed.

If they tell you that they will have a band coming after dinner, make sure you will be there as well!

Thank you all guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. NOTHING IN IMSOUANE IS BETTER FOR THE PRICE - travelling alone can be sketch sometimes but Hassan and everyone working there was so friendly. They make u feel like home! The room are big enough for 1-2 people in the bedroom, there is a kitchen with fridge and stove, small living room with tv internet and shared bathroom. Big closet for your bag and clothes. Everything is clean and well maintained! 5 min walk to the beach. U can find surfing and food very easily. The rooftop is pretty cool with the view ! I've stayed 3 nights but definitely could've stayed for a month if I had time. I really recommend staying there :) thank you again the best hostel in Morocco 🇲🇦😍
