This is a small hotel, one hour south of Marrakesh. It was a nice drive through a couple of villages and slowly climbing but you're in no way at a significant altitude. I asked for a car to take us from our hotel in Marrakesh. That was fine but in hindsight I should have arranged it myself and probably saved myself half the 70 euros I did pay. You could certainly arrange pickup from the lodge by someone from Marrakesh but we did use their (different) man, who drove us back and was friendly.
I had been emailing Mohamed and he was helpful but he didn't offer lots of information unless asked. When you are there, there is nowhere else to eat, so you need to like tajines for dinner. There is a sweet little pool although unheated and was very cold in early April but still welcome after a 5-hour guided walk (arranged by the lodge, lunch halfway round) on a warm day around the valley. The guide was called Ibrahim and he was a brilliant guy with excellent English. Back at the lodge, in the bedroom there were no blackout blinds so take an eyemask or be prepared to wake up early! There was no TV but that was no problem and the internet did work but was a bit patchy. Breakfast was OK - pancakes, bread, boiled eggs, OJ, which we ate in the large garden on our two sunny mornings. All in all, it was a nice break from Marrakesh but don't go if you don't like walks and get bored quickly.
