Absolutely wonderful hotel - the most beautiful location in Chefchaouen! From the moment we arrived it felt incredibly special. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The grounds were stunning, well-kept and lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. Breakfast and dinner had wonderful views over the town. The massage was also wonderful. We wished we could have stayed for longer, thank you for an incredible stay!

Be aware - there are more than 100 steps from the street to Dar Jasmine, be sure you can do steps/stairs. The hotel is very nice. The staff was polite and accommodating. The room we had was one flight up and was nice and clean with a balcony. The bed was comfortable. My friends room was quite a few levels higher (more steps to climb). We ate a light lunch (falafel) which was very good. The dinner menu is traditional Moroccan and we wanted something different, so we went to Triana recommended by the hotel which was good. |Dar Jasmine is best for a stay of more than 1 night since it has a lovely pool, nice decks and a very nice view. You can't appreciate the hotel with just 1 night. |One more point to note - the main road up to the hotel is damaged as of June 2026 so you need to walk to and from your vehicle, maybe 10-15 minutes walk. Our driver had to hire a small motorcycle type cart to get our bags to and from the hotel.|Chefchaouen is pretty but most vendors sell made in China souvenirs - so if it will take you a long drive to get to Chefchaouen for just one night - I recommend skipping Chefchaoen. Too long of a drive for a few hours walking around a few streets.

This place is simply spectacular. Not only is it beautiful and somewhat exclusive simply by design as the hotel has capitalized on its mountain range and is a 157 step climb to the registration. The rewards is air conditioning, delightfully wrapped candies and one of the most beautiful reception areas I have seen. The main lounge and dining area are of similar exquisite taste. The rooms, the pool, the grounds and service are immaculate and nothing short of perfection. The view is probably the best in the town. |The room prices are well below what one would expect for a boutique hotel of this caliber. |* for the French Fry lovers, best fries I have ever had in my life! |Please ignore all of the reviews that have anything negative to say about this gem, those are the kind of people who are never satisfied.

Unfortunately the day we visited the weather was grey. We booked a tour guide from the Hotel but we would not really recommand it. Hotel location is fantastic, the view from the restaurant at night made it special, the waiter we had was so kind, and food nice. Bed and bathroom nice, we had the Hanoi room, dont book this room for the terrasse view she is located between 2 terrasse and not offering the expected view. But she is confortable

Our stay at Dar Jasmine was fabulous! We didn't meet a long road trip from Essaouira, so needless to say that we were exhausted! The views from here are worth climbing those 100+ stairs for. Outside of my room being fabulous and the breath taking views of the Rif Mountains, the hospitality is so warm and welcoming. My husband and I overslept and the phone in our room rang. It was the kitchen staff calling as we hadn't been by for breakfast. I was shocked! They offered to bring it to our room and I was most impressed. Thank you Dar Jasmine, this moment here made our stay memorable and we highly recommend you to stay here.

From the moment you arrive at Dar Jasmine, everything feels carefully thought through. Every detail is handled with care, and you notice it right away. The rooms add something special to the stay.|Each one is named after a city, which creates a different atmosphere depending on where you are. It gives the whole place a unique identity, not just another hotel room. The team stands out across the entire hotel.|Dining, reception, spa. Everyone delivers at a high level, yet keeps it personal. The hammam with Hakima was a highlight.|It felt complete, immersive, and done with real expertise. One of those experiences you don’t forget. She is a master! At reception, Abdel, Farah, and the rest of the team made everything easy.|Always present, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There’s also a small boutique on site, perfect for last-minute finds before leaving.|The outdoor panoramic pool is another standout, with views that stay with you. Dinner was just as memorable.|Well executed, relaxed, and the perfect way to close the day. They take care of every single small details. No words! Yes, there are 156 steps to reach the hotel.|For some, that might feel like a challenge. But honestly, it’s a very small price to pay for what waits at the top: panoramic views and the best experience you will have. They turned our last day in Chefchaouen into something special.|That kind of impact stays with you. Dar Jasmine is now firmly in our top 10.|We will be back soon. |Gudni and Carlos

Jasmine hotel is a stunning hotel overlooking Chefchauen. Our room was beautifully traditional, with a great view of the town and a large private patio. The restaurant has wonderful selection and great service and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would love to return next time we are in the area.

The hotel contacted us in advance to inform us where to park and at what time to arrive. Upon arrival, the staff took care of our luggage and guided us to the hotel. Please be aware that there are many stairs, so the property is not suitable for guests with mobility issues. The view upon arrival was absolutely breathtaking. Our room was clean; however, my sister’s room had a noticeable canalisation/sewage smell. Breakfast was very good, with a wide variety of options available.
