Family Moroccan House

Great vibe, really feels like a family home

Pros: This place really feels like a family house. Very welcoming and comfortable. I got picked up from the bus, which arrives in the dark. I really enjoyed this place, the vibe is just great and the view from the rooftop is amazing. I also stayed in a fancy hotel in Merzouga because of the pool and it being closer to the dunes, but it was a cold place and the staff had such a bad attitude. I regret not staying here longer and enjoy the town from here. It's a 5 min walk to the town, with some restaurants and shops. The dunes are a bit further but it's still an easy walk during the day and you can book tours and such.

Cons: Breakfast could be better, for this price I've had much bigger breakfasts

Pros: The hospitality. Wow! Ali was a brother from another mother in the literal sense. Even before we arrived he got in touch with me on WhatsApp and asked if i need help with anything. As soon as we arrived he offered free tea and talked to us. I inquired about the tours and he was very transparent about the costs and expectations. He even accommodated my special request. Offered me his sand board at no cost. The next morning the breakfast was very filling and he gave us company until we left. Then later in the day he messaged me again if we reached our destination safely. These Berber folks are simple, down to earth and open their hearts to the people of the world. They deserve all our respect and support. Don't hesitate to book this property!

Super friendly owner, nice house and amazing town

Pros: The owner, Ali, is super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time there and we are looking forward to coming back again

Authentic experience in a true desert house

Pros: Loved Ali's hospitality, and also I felt so free at the property, very safe. Also very authentic - that's actual desert-style house made of mud, and I felt very immersed into true local experience there. Staff provided me access to the property's kitchen when I wanted to cook rice or prepare tea - that's a rare amenity that I value at hotels and guest houses. Also loved early morning pickup and care during my stay. Good hot water access.

Cons: Shelves in the room were slightly dusty, and wifi was not stable.

Pros: The breakfast and the Tagine was delicious. The people were super nice and friendly.

Best place in town

Pros: Everything. Very cosy, clean, comfortable. Excellent bed. Ali is the best host you could ever dream of and will go out of his way to help and accommodate you. He will also give you excellent prices for tours and activities. Look no further, this is the place to book.

Nice hotel

Pros: Very big breakfast. Simple but nice hotel. Also possible to book tours here. We did a quad tour for 40 euros per person and a 4x4 tour for 30 euros per person. Both tours were really great!

Felt like at home in a wonderful location

Pros: The location is perfect, basically next to the dunes and a 5 minute walk from the town centre, with lots of options for food and relaxing. The house decor is also extremely nice with traditional colours, carpets, sofas etc. There is plenty of space to relax in silence or watch the stars, we felt like at home with so much space available. The breakfast was delicious, we tried literally everything, it is mostly traditional food cooked perfectly, plus continental additions. The hospitality from the family deserves the best score. Such a friendly family, they took care of us from our arrival, helping us finding food late at night, preparing breakfast for us and allowing us to eat and relax at our own pace. They always made sure we had everything we needed. Finally, the Erg chebbi dunes... something out of this world!

Cons: Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: Ali and his family were super friendly and helpful. He perfectly organised all necessary things during my trip in Merzouga. Thank you for your excellent service and hospitality.

A great place to stay run by a great host.

Pros: Ali is a great host. He is friendly, has great customer service and provided good advice about what to do. He organised for me to be picked up from the bus stop, was helpful in organising a fantastic overnight camp in the Sahara and provided information about taking grande taxis/local bus for my return journey. Breakfast was also good. I heartily recommend staying with Ali. I also recommend doing the luxury camp in the Sahara through Ali. It is truly a luxury experience that you won't regret. I certainly will treasure the experience.
