What is the difference between the categories of accommodations?
This is the difference between the 4 categories of accommodations:
- Budget accommodations are typically 1- and 2-star hotels, offering a simple, clean place to stay with small rooms containing essential amenities like a bed, fresh linens, a bathroom, and basic furniture such as a table and a clothes rack. (Not recommended by Days In Morocco Company).
- Standard accommodations fall between 2 and 3 stars, often found in older city areas or rural settings like Kasbahs, guesthouses, or Riads. Despite being economical, they provide decent comfort, usually featuring private bathrooms, a restaurant, and sometimes a swimming pool.

This option allows guests to experience both authentic Moroccan charm and luxury amenities. (Highly recommended by Days In Morocco Company).
- Luxury accommodations, usually 4 or 5 stars, are typically located in city centers, offering exceptional comfort, top-notch services, elegant designs, and a wide range of amenities such as pools, spas, restaurants, and fitness centers.
