From Shorena Shonia Rome, Italy Nov 5 Positive Otman hosted me in Rabat for 3 night,but i knew him 2 month before by messenger,he helped me lot, gave me lot of useful information and just was good friend and then after i met him he continued to be it, i liked the time that i spenT with him and with his frends.definitly nice host.
A bello,spero che civediamo da qualche parte.
From Anthony Aronovici Barcelona, Spain Oct 31 Positive He's right! Otmane and the rest of the CS crowd from Rabat showed me how Morocco can be like a chameleon. Rabat would have been 'just another capital city' - instead we went to concerts, had tea and great conversation. Our two day stay (originally scheduled as one) was not enough at all to truly grasp the CS world in Rabat -- hopefully I make it back soon!
From Masha Smirnova Vienna, Austria Oct 28 Positive Otmane is a genuinely nice guy, really enjoyed getting to know him. He's very knowledgable and definitely has some cool stories and experiences to share. And while its people like Otmane who make the CS Rabat group truly amazing, I really hope to come back for more, hang and check out some gigs again! (esp those where being silent is not required) :))
From Ramona Norvese Bologna, Italy Oct 27 Positive Otmane has been our guide in a rapid tour of half day in Rabat.. decidedly intensive as forenoon, but without doubt useful.. because we have practically seen all of this that en Rabat must be seen!
and is also an excellent (as well as liar!!) cavia.. he has eaten the risotto that my friend Elisa and I have prepared (something very bad) without laughing, and also pretending that was good.. a true gentleman, in short :)
a super presto, caro, chissá dove peró!
From Anna Rozzo Rabat, Morocco Oct 5 Positive Otmane: polyglot, jokster, chef, greenthumb,conversationalist...Casanova? It is a pleasure hanging out with him and his friends, as you will surely find out if you're lucky enough to CS in Rabat.
From Elisa Hartwig San Francisco, United States Oct 3 Positive Ali and I stayed with Otman, a great host, in Rabat. He dedicated most of his time to showing us his city, the beach, local restaurants, the marketplace, etc etc. He was so hospitable and generous, and he even sorted us out at the bus station after we missed our train to Assilah. E una persona magnifica!! He is also a great cook!! Thank you so much Otman, we hope to see you again!!
From Younes Elkassimi Rabat, Morocco Sep 26 Positive Otman is so funny guy, i like to talking with him, modest and very cool, he like the joke, and laughing
i start loving the nice idea about couchsurfing from him, because he like to sharing a lot of thing
i met him in festival mawazin and always in the meeting
See you soon Khouya ;)

From Abdel Mekkid Rabat, Morocco Jun 24 Positive Othmane Really a good friend. we meet first in a meeting in Casablanca that i organized, and after in Rabat when i moved for work, then we meet on each meeting. Easygoing man very helpfull and always ready to give more to Couchsurfing.

Otmane is a lovely guy full of life, energy and fun that no meeting could be more enjoyable without him. He is so generous kind-hearted, open-minded and so devoted to the spirit of couchsurfing.I highly recommend him as a host. He can be your language teacher, your cook and your tourist guide.
From Med Elboukhari Fes-Ville-Nouvelle, Morocco Jun 5 Positive If you Want to spend unforgettable time??just have contact with Otman.

From Zineb Bhaby Fribourg, Switzerland Jan 23 Positive After hosting many times the same persons, I finally got to meet Othmane, the model host that everybody told me about. We met for some hours in Rabat and it was so nice to talk with him. I really would like to meet him again to get to know him better but I'm sure he's a nice person, and the best to meet if you're planning to go to Rabat! Thanks for the nice and quick ^^ !
From NINAME Overath, Germany Jan 5 Positive Otmane is a very natural and open guy. He is welcoming and treats his guests like already known friends. I was impressed how caring he behaved with his mother. What is also nice is that he hosts people according to the basic idea of couchsurfing. This means that I can say from my experience, that you will feel safe and respected in his house. So in my opinion also solo-traveling women can do CS at his family without any fears. That`s why I can fully recommend him =) I wish you a happy year 2009 and say hi to SANDYYYYY (such a cute white doggy) =D
bye "khuya", shukran bzaf
PS: Say hi to your family
