      Authentic and fun experience. A friend and I went for the first time. Lovely ladies, great scrub and added on a massage which was wonderful. The ladies were welcoming and friendly.

      Authentic Hammam Experience at Mouassine!

      Philip_W, Nov 2025
      If you’re looking for a truly traditional Moroccan hammam, Mouassine is as authentic as it gets. As the oldest hammam in Marrakesh, it offers a glimpse into centuries-old bathing rituals — and what an experience it is! Don’t worry about language barriers; everything is guided through simple, mostly non-verbal cues, and you’re effortlessly directed from one stage to the next. You’re doused with varying temperatures of water, then thoroughly soaped and scrubbed — and I mean scrubbed within an inch of your life! It’s intense, invigorating, and oddly satisfying. The experience finishes with a very vigorous massage that leaves you feeling both relaxed and completely refreshed. Nothing fancy, nothing luxurious — just a basic, traditional, wonderfully effective hammam that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a genuine Marrakesh experience.

      The Hammam process was...

      Amber_C, Oct 2025
      The Hammam process was great but my experience here was not. Listed as a 1 hr experience I was there for 2 and almost missed my dinner reservation. Made it through the first few steps but then got forgotten and sat around for much longer than I think I was meant too. Lots of waiting around and wished I had gone to a public space and just brought my own stuff to do it.

      Amazing experience

      Gavin_S, Jul 2025
      Nothing fancy but a true authentic hammams bath and great experience. Even got to go down and see the fire loaded up

      Nadine_B, Jun 2025
      Absolutely loved it! Took a bit of a while to find up some back roads but was worth it. My skin is so soft. No frills but does the job and the women were lovely. Thank you

      Very relaxing experience....

      Joy_H, Apr 2025
      Very relaxing experience. Lasted about 1 hour total and was such a great deal. They easily could have charged double for the services they provided.

      Nice

      karlowiczka, Apr 2025
      It is a real thing, no fancy SPA. Women scrub your body and wash it! The building is old. They have lockers.

      100% relaxation in the hustle & bustle of the Medina.

      Daisy_S, Mar 2025
      At first we thought the entrance is a bit dodgy but we relaxed straight away as soon we walked in. Had the full Hamam experience including massage afterwards. Skin felt as soft as a newborn baby and the complimentary tea was appreciated too.

      Relaxing ☺️

      ouzumunt_C, Jan 2025
      Everything was absolutely wonderful the experience of a traditional Hammam is very different experience to having a modern spa. The ladies who work in the Hammam work very hard I like to thank them. 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️

      An authentic experience

      Fani_P, Jan 2025
      It’s in a Souk. A very traditional and old authentic hammam. Don’t expect luxuries. I have a few questions about the hygiene but as a whole it was a worthwhile and authentic experience. The women who massage you are strong and experienced. I loved it. As a whole it was an awesome experience

      A real authentic experience! Definitely the highlight of our trip

      Petros_S, Oct 2024
      A real authentic experience! Definitely the highlight of our trip! It was between this and a well established commercial Hammam and so glad we chose this!

      My first hammam.

      Andrew_C, Oct 2024
      An interesting and enjoyable experience…nice to see part of the culture of this beautiful country. It would have been even better if those who worked there could have appreciated it was my first time. They could have explained briefly what was being done.

      Very authentic

      Gwen_N, Aug 2024
      This experience was very eye opening. We got to experience a traditional Hammam and were amongst locals. You are able to wear your underwear if you feel uncomfortable. Fatima was very helpful during the process and we felt brand new after. I would definitely recommend to anyone after an authentic Hammam as the price is also reasonable. We didn’t manage to book a massage as it was fully booked but we would have loved to try it.

      Traditional Hammam

      Gurpreet_V, Aug 2024
      This is a traditional hammam in the middle of the souks. It has a very traditional approach and you certainly come out glowing! If you are looking for a lush, 'insta-worthy' spa type place, this is not it.

      Relaxing Hammam you definitely need to try!

      Ali_S, Jul 2024
      Great experience! Being someone who’s never had something like this done, I was pleasantly surprised! They guide you through everything so if you’re not sure what to do, just ask! Felt very relaxed afterwards and had the best mint tea of my trip here!

      Not great but not terrible.

      Jacqui_D, Jul 2024
      Excellent exfoliating scrub down. Staff were not particularly welcoming. Cleanliness of towels was dubious.

      Unique hammam experience

      Nick_I, Jul 2024
      It was exactly as I imagined. It’s a basic service, but it made me think this is how it was hundreds of years ago. We paid for the scrub and massage. It was a no frills experiment but it felt amazing. We didn’t need to take any supplies; they provide it all (slippers, mat, bucket, black scrub, glove, towel). A unique experience for anyone looking to experience a hammam the way locals do.

      Rejuvenating

      ANTHONY_T, Jul 2024
      We had the most amazing experience in the Hammam. It’s not boutique but WOW!!! well worth the time, we left feeling on cloud 9 and rejuvenated I suggest booking this in the first few days of your trip your body will thank you ☺️ Thank you for the experience ☺️👊🏾

      Poor value for money. Endless searching for the venue because its lost in the medina souks .

      Markos_T, Jun 2024
      Nothing there worth the money paid. Wrong address and hopelessly searching the medina souks for nearly an hour just to find it. Overall service very poor. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

      Definitely recommend for the experience!

      Dominique_J, Jun 2024
      I'm really glad I read the reviews first just for a heads up- it is definitely an experience but recommend going for an authentic Hamman. The lady at the front desk spoke English but once you are through you rely on hand gestures. You get scrubbed head to toe wearing just undies/swimmer bottoms (And the woman doing your experience also just in Undies). At one point they came off as well so my bottom got scrubbed! This is not a place to go if you are shy or modest. You spend time lying on a mat or the floor so also unsure of hygiene but it's all part of the experience. I have never felt more smooth on my skin- felt amazing after. My partner got offered mint tea which never arrived and I didn't get offered any so some inconsistency with that but otherwise we really enjoyed it. Would go again.

      The Hammam in Marrakech...

      Damiano_S, Apr 2024
      The Hammam in Marrakech offers a blissful escape into relaxation with traditional rituals and a serene ambiance. A must-try for anyone visiting the city.

      Excellent experience!

      Priyanka_P, Apr 2024
      Excellent experience! Waited less than 20mins for my turn and then was scrubbed clean like a baby. Towels, slippers, lockers, soap and tea included.

      Recommend it

      Aneesa_T, Feb 2024
      Loved this!! This is your heads up. It's traditional hamam so they will make you take your underwear off and you will fully nude women, They don't speak English but they really clean you up like you are kid, loved it!! will do it again.

      A must do

      Jenna_E, Nov 2023
      A must when you visit marrakech. Thank you! The staff do not really speak English, but you can get by- no need to bring a towel, everything is provided, just bring change of clothes and you can store in the locker.

      Hammam-tastic

      Graeme_M, Nov 2023
      So old school that they most definitely do not care about this review. A truly authentic experience. No frills. If you're looking for a traditional scrub that borders on a beatdown, this is your ticket. And you will feel GREAT afterwards.

      The staff were absolutely...

      yvette_b, Nov 2023
      The staff were absolutely lively abd attentive. They did a great job. However the waiting are need some attention eg. floor. In the bath house attention to hygiene as regards to some kind of disinfecting, especially the mats after each of the clients. All in all a good experience.

      Response from Host, Nov 2023

Sincerely,

      Newfound Experience

      Keinelia_T, Nov 2023
      A wonderful first time experience. The place was hot like a sauna. A lady scrubbed me from head to toe which left my body light and rejuvenated. The place was clean and organized.

      A fantastic and traditional Moroccan experience

      Lee_L, Jun 2023
      A wonderful traditional Moroccan Hammam experience! This isn’t a spa, so you won’t get pampered, but you get the authentic experience and body scrub. If you’re a man make sure you take dry underwear to change into after because you keep these on and they’ll get wet. The man who washed me didn’t speak much English but we managed to communicate well enough. I would really recommend this experience to anything you might get in your hotel. Will definitely do it again.

      Genuine Morocco

      Arlene_P, May 2023
      The most authentic Moroccan experience we had. To be in a genuine public hamman with Moroccan women who go every week just made it all the better. I felt completely revived. I wish I could do this at home.
