Spent an unforgettable week at the home with two friends. The hosts were amazing, welcoming us with music and food, making us feel right at home (which the home a plus when you arrive at night). While the living conditions are basic (think a hole-in-the-floor toilet and bucket showers), the experience was very unique and fun. We connected with travellers and locals, gaining insight into the culture, and even picking up some basic Arabic. The work was light (about 3 hours a day) and varied, from building mud walls and stone pathways, to cooking Moroccan dishes. I hope to return someday!

Mohammed, Hamza and Mubarak were great hosts! On the first night we were welcomed with mint tea and music. We felt like a family instantly. The facilities are very basic which was hard adjusting to, but it was a great experience to live in a different way and see how locals live. Work was great and fun, about 3 hours a day working on building the guest house, cooking, cleaning, etc. My friends and I had an amazing time and learned a lot about Moroccan/Amazigh culture, and the hosts were always happy to answer any questions we had about the culture and language. Thank you!

Experiencing the village life in Morocco is an experience that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Not only did I get to try amazing authentic cuisine cooked with passion and years of knowledge passed down, but I got the privilege of being able to fully immerse myself in a completely different culture and lifestyle then my own. I felt honoured to be able to meet many locals and attend a traditional Moroccan wedding, and the feeling of being surrounded by a strong uplifting group of woman was something I will forever hold close to me. I am more than greatful for this experience.

My stay at Tagounite was incredible. I was afraid to go there as a solo traveler but Hamza, Mohamed and Moubarak are very welcoming and kind, no worries to have about them. The place the home in the middle of nowhere, so if you are searching for a calm stay with not a lot of work it's perfect for you. The house the home very rustic, so don't expect to be in a very comfortable place. But this the home great to immerse into locals lifestyle. The best part about this stay was the connection with the locals. We have met a lot of people their because of the hosts and their family. ☀️

The farmis a fantastic place for a cultural exchange and immersion into local culture. From the beginning, I felt warmly welcomed; the hosts are incredibly kind and open to new ideas and feedback. The work is flexible and encourages volunteers to take initiative, propose projects, and bring them to life. There's also an opportunity to take a tour to the Sahara, which adds to the experience. Thank you very much, the farm :)

I had an amazing experience atthe community! It was so cool to experience such a traditional way of life. All of the hosts made such a welcoming environment for everyone and Mohamed was super easy to talk to about anything and everything:) The living situation is very different than I was used to, but it was an interesting experience to live so rurally. However, there is still a bucket to shower with, do laundry in and you can also heat up the water if needed. I really enjoyed my time here and it's truly such a gorgeous area to spend time in:) thanks for everything!

My experience in the communitywas amazing, Mohamed , Hamza and Mobarak made me feel at home since the minute I arrived, sharing with them and the other volunteers was a fun a whole some time. You can get to experience the local culture being traditions, learning the languages, visiting the town and local markets. You can also organize a visit to the Sahara which I highly recommend because its an amazing experience. The work is flexible and consist in putting your grain of salt into making the communitya cozy place for you an others- Thank you for this beautiful experience.

This was a beautiful experience, the house is owned by a loving family and has lots of different activities to do. It's located outside of the city so is perfect to connect with nature and the Berber culture 🌱. All the plans are super flexible and initiative for new ideas is always welcome. The hosts can easily help you arrange a travel to the Sahara to get to know the dunes and sleep in a the communitycamp there. Definitely a great experience 🩵

It was my first Worldpackers experience and I loved it. Definitely recommend! Due to the weather being too hot we couldn't really work much which was a shame. Mohamed was a good host. If you can speak French, this will make it a little easier to communicate with the local people. I will definitely come back!! You will be welcomed with open arms. Thanks for the great experience Mohamed, mubarak and all the rest!
