This
guest
house
is
a
scam!
When
will
people
heed
other
negative
reviews
which
expose
this
rapacious
man
and
stop
entering
this
place
even
for
a
visit,
never
mind
staying
overnight?
Avoid
this
place
completely!
I
booked
a
room
for
€61.20
via
booking-com.
I
reserved
a
dinner
for
€32
for
two
people.
I
paid
this
man
€93.20
in
advance
(that
is
1,030
Moroccan
dirham).
His
page
on
booking-com
says:
“Guests
are
offered
mint
tea
upon
arrival.
Free
internet.”
All
that
is
false.
We
were
offered
nothing
upon
arrival.
Internet
was
available
only
for
the
first
20
minutes
near
the
owner’s
office
while
he
was
sitting
there.
When
this
extremely
stingy
owner
leaves
his
office,
the
wi-fi
is
switched
off.
Afterwards,
there
was
no
internet
access
at
all
anywhere.
The
room
has
very
little
light;
it
was
uncomfortable
and
with
no
place
to
put
suitcase
or
clothes.
Electric
sockets
are
torn
out
with
bare
wires.
The
lampshades
were
twisted
and
repaired
with
tape.
All
rooms
are
freezing
and
without
ANY
heating.
Our
room
had
holes
in
the
ceiling
through
which
daylight
was
seen.
At
night
it
was
frost
-3°C
outside,
and
it
became
+2°C
in
the
room.
We
could
not
sleep
all
night
due
to
cold
—
there
was
no
heating
whatsoever.
There
was
total
lack
of
comfort.
Bathroom:
we
did
not
have
hot
water
at
all
—
occasionally
water
was
barely
lukewarm,
at
all
other
times
it
was
just
cold
water.
As
it
turned
out
on
the
following
morning,
this
extremely
miserly
owner
of
this
guest-house
deliberately
rations
hot
water,
switches
on
the
boiler
for
a
very
limited
time,
and
even
then
he
reduced
its
temperature.
He
does
not
want
his
guests
to
have
heating,
hot
water,
internet
or
even
light
in
corridors.
The
shower
in
the
bathroom
has
no
glass
surround
or
curtain;
just
a
plastic
shower
head
attached
in
the
middle
of
a
wall,
so
the
entire
bathroom
becomes
wet
when
you
shower
(in
cold
water!).
You
have
to
stand
in
a
poodle
of
cold
water
on
cold
tiles
in
a
freezing
room.
There
is
not
any
way
to
dry
the
floor,
and
the
bathroom
remains
flooded
and
unusable
for
24
hours.
The
promised
welcome
tea
was
not
given
on
arrival.
With
regard
to
dinner
for
€32,
we
were
told
that
there
is
a
set
menu,
and
it
is
impossible
to
choose
any
dishes.
When
we
sat
down
at
a
table,
we
were
given
a
plastic
bottle
of
water.
I
had
assumed
the
water
was
complimentary
and
was
included
as
part
of
the
dinner.
We
were
served
awful
soup,
followed
by
an
overcooked
tagine
with
little
meat.
After
that
we
were
given
tea
that
we
had
not
asked
for;
we
drank
it
thinking
it
was
offered
as
part
of
the
dinner.
On
the
following
morning
when
we
were
leaving
the
hotel,
we
were
angrily
accused
by
the
owner
of
not
paying.
He
demanded:
—
20
dirham
for
a
bottle
of
water
before
the
dinner
(he
pointed
at
the
inconspicuous
printed
notice
behind
a
bar
that
drinks
are
excluded
from
the
€32
dinner);
—
40
dirham
for
tea
after
dinner;
—
40
dirham
for
entering
the
grounds
of
the
kasbah
(he
pointed
at
the
notice
that
all
day
visitors
must
pay
an
entry
charge
of
20
dirham
per
person);
but
we
were
overnight
guests
there
—
he
still
demanded
that
we
pay
an
entry
fee!
—
20
dirham
as
a
fine
because
my
companion
brough
a
bottle
of
juice
with
him
into
the
lounge/dining
room
(he
pointed
at
a
notice
behind
the
lounge
door,
which
states
guests
are
prohibited
from
bringing
drinks,
otherwise
there
will
be
a
fine
20
dirham).
I
refused
to
pay
him
additional
120
dirham,
as
they
were
just
contrived,
fabricated
charges,
which
he
had
never
announced
before.
The
owner
became
highly
abusive
and
obnoxious,
and
ordered
a
male
staff
member
to
lock
the
huge
prison-like
gate.
The
staff
member
locked
the
gate,
and
we
were
told
we
would
not
be
allowed
to
leave
that
kasbah,
until
we
pay
120
dirham.
Effectively,
they
kept
us
as
hostages.
We
waited
for
2
hours
and
decided
to
call
police
to
report
extortion
and
false
imprisonment.
When
the
obnoxious
owner
heard
that
we
were
speaking
to
police,
he
ordered
his
male
staff
member
to
unlocked
the
gate.
Then
he
forcibly
grabbed
us
behind
our
arms
and
violently
pushed
us
outside
the
gate.
