  Liked: Quite an authentic stay. Shower was not the best - but it seems it's a common experience in Morocco. Host helped to organize camel and jeep tours for the desert for a reasonable price. Saved us a headache to find everything. Nice Moroccan breakfast with plenty of bread and various jams, oil, butter, cheese.

  Disliked: It seems there was a party or friends to host came - it was quite noisy throughout the night (even till 3-4am). There are several apartments and we lived adjacent to the host family. Also about the noise - they were playing traditional instruments (which are quite loud) around 10:30 pm - which didn't help to get sleep since we were aiming to wake up for the sunrise to meet in the desert (around 5:30-6am). While we agreed to have breakfast at 8:30am it only was ready around 9am - which delayed our plans unexpectedly a bit.

  Pleasant stay but maintenance is required

  Liked: Cozy, traditional Amazigh house, great service from our host (Hassan) as he was attentive to our needs and tried his very best to meet our requests including providing firewood and sugar. Quiet and safe area, near restaurants and shops in Merzouga, spacious house with nice living room for gathering. We faced some issues after we booked and paid but decided to close one eye and proceed with our stay.

  Disliked: We have mixed feelings about this house and would like to be honest. Firstly, as a Level 3 on booking.com, I managed to book this house with free breakfast. However only after booking and paying, our host (another guy) informed that there was an error in his listing and breakfast was not included. When I showed screenshots of his listing and booking confirmation that included breakfast, he denied and said breakfast isn’t included for the price I paid. The price I paid is irrelevant because my booking confirmation in fact included breakfast and I get Level 3 benefits. Host wanted to charge an additional €8 per person for breakfast. Eventually, I decided to waive the breakfast for all 7 nights we stayed. It would have been good if host had honoured what was in his listing instead of blaming booking.com - I note that this problem had been flagged in earlier reviews. Secondly, one of the rooms which claims to have a large double bed (or Queen) is actually a standard double bed hence smaller than expected. Thirdly, the house on the whole needs some maintenance. We understand it’s old and worn, but it’d be nice to have a tv remote control that actually works properly, lights to work (and not flicker), have proper heating (electric heater we were given was extremely weak esp for winter). As for the kitchen, some basic provisions would have been good such as oil, sugar and salt. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we will return again only if our suggestions and feedback are taken seriously by our hosts. Thank you.

  Liked: It was very interesting to stay in a hand built desert nomad house..The family who built the house and hosted us lives in the bigger house next door. They kindly invited us in and we got to meet other members of the family. The mother also cooked for us and it was fun to try the homemade Berber pizza for dinner one night and a breakfast with delicious Berber omelette. Having a fridge for cold drinks was great and the washing machine was especially appreciated after traveling in Morocco for over a month. You can also book excursions through the host which is convenient. The location at the edge of the dunes is very good. We enjoyed being able to walk out by ourselves and be in the dunes in 10 mins. There are also lots of restaurants/markets nearby within walking distance.

  Disliked: It was a bit confusing when we first arrived because the house did not look like the photos online. To clarify, there are three nomad houses guests can stay in which look somewhat similar. In the end, it was fine but just wanted to let others know. On my booking.com reservation, it said there was breakfast included but when it was brought up, the host said it was an error with booking.com. It would have been nice if the breakfast had been honored. We only did one excision, the 3 hr one where they take you out in the 4x4 jeep into the dunes and visit the village of Khamlia to watch the musicians. The price seemed high to us (80 euros for 2 people) but maybe that is the going rate. We felt uncomfortable being taken to an artisan shop at the end of the tour because you feel a bit pressured to buy something. The house itself was atmospheric to stay in but the kitchen and bathroom were not very clean. If you are coming during the hot months, just be prepared for the heat and flies. There is no air conditioning in the house so the bedrooms are very warm at night.
