  Liked: This place was great. I would have easily stayed an extra night. I was there during Ramadan so the town was quiet and relaxed. The rooftop view of the dunes is breathtaking. The breakfast with the berbères omelette was delicious. Really a memorable stay. Highly recommend.

  Liked: 1) The host was very quiet, good person, nice to speak to. He organized a trip to the Erg on camels for us from his friends nearby. It was cheaper, than we were offered from the local businessmen.. 2) Place is quiet, easy to get asleep. Far from busy roads. Very close to the dunes, like 100m... The village life can be seen just over he corner. Very clean. 3) Host prepared us breakfast. The omelet was kind of unusual, prepared in oven with tomatoes and domething more. Well, something surprising and by far not expected at the breakfast (usually something very easy-made is seen, but here host spent some time and efforts to make us feel better). 4) House itself is cosy with a terrasse. Liked it a lot. Parking is easily available. Some local shops very close in the village. Liked a lot this place.

  Disliked: Nothing to mention as bad...

  Wonderful property to stay at and immerse yourself in the hospitality of locals

  Liked: Youssef is a wonderful host who is quiet, friendly, helpful and loves having guests stay. He serves a delightful breakfast that is a delicious variety of breads, yogurt, eggs, and of course toppings to either dip or spread on your morning bread selection. The location of the property is wonderful! In a quiet area just off the main path. Nearby Restaraunts have wonderful food options and the locals are quite friendly. The property is simple, clean and comfortable and offers a stay in a neighborhood setting.

  A genuine, heartfelt welcome

  Liked: Such a great caretaker. He really went out of his way to help us, showing us where to find a late dinner, where to buy supplies, and helping us to understand travel options. We are grateful for his generous advice.
