The Seggaoul family has it right. Their guesthouse has got to be the best in the area. I traveled with my mother, our first time to Morocco, and went on a road trip. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Ali, our host. The place was inviting, comfortable, and showcased the most of Moroccan crafts and textiles, especially their large collection of Berber carpets. It had spacious public areas, pool, terrace, dining, gathering, and the design of the place (by themselves) and built themselves, commanded respect and admiration. These guys aren't phonies and I can see why they won a 2012 Trip Advisor award. I hope to revisit this wonderful place on the edge of the sand and wish them continued success.

We stayed in Merzouga Guestahouse for a couple of days and we were received by the friendly and welcoming owner Ali. He and his family are kind persons and always ready to be helpful. The first day we simply relaxed in the guest house. We used the small but beautiful and clean swimming pool and relaxed in the peaceful and pleasant common area. The second day Ali arranged for us a trip to the desert, riding dromedaries and sleeping there in the night. The Berber who drove us there, Omar, was such a nice person and I will always remember his friendly smile.
The room where we stayed was very simple, clean, decorated with local decorations (the only problem was a little bit noisy air conditioning). We had 3 meals in the guesthouse, all of them very good and tasty.
The morning we came back from the desert it was my birthday and they made me a big surprise, they organized a little party with a delicious b day cake and they played some music and dances for celebration. It was really un unforgettable day! Thanks again Ali and your family for such a wonderful holiday.

If you are searching for the desert experience and nice place to stay not far away from dunes, this hotel could be your ideal choice. Very friendly and helpful people, spacious rooms, traditional great marrocan cuisine. Don't miss fantastic camel trip to the desert.
P.S. Please note that this hotel is alcohol free and does not accept credit cards.

In terms of genuine hospitality, it doesn't get any better than this. Ali and all the other guys from the house had a great blend of friendliness and straightforwardness that made us confortable and trusting of everything they recommended/proposed.

The accomodation itself is also very good, the room was spacious, with all needed amenities, aircon, etc. the multiple open area rooms have lots if places to chill out, whether in shade or in sun. We didn't use the pool, but it looked sparkling clean, and have seen the staff working in its maintenance and cleaning every evening,

The food was excellent, and - as with all other requests - they were quick to accomodate my wife's vegetarian needs.

All in all, a highlight of the Moroccan trip and a place where i wouldn't hesitate for a second to return to.
