Simple, charming, and comfortable property managed by Youssef and his wife. Youssef was so welcoming and hospitable. We ate dinners cooked by Youssef's wife in their beautiful courtyard for a truly warm and authentic experience. Youssef also arranged a sunset camel ride for us one evening which was so memorable. Amenities are lacking but we were tired from our drive arriving from Fes so we were there just to relax and enjoy the desert area. My husband and I were sick from something we ate in Fes and Youssef made us a home remedy drink that helped. Youssef's kindness cannot be beat! Highly recommend!
Excellent accueil par Youssef lui-même qui est aux petits soins et d’excellent conseil pour les activités à toutes heures. Il est le designer de ce petit hôtel où on se sent si bien. Il est aussi très bon cuistot et parle plusieurs langues! Et toujours avec sourire et humour.

I was welcomed from the time i parked my car. Youssef is a great host. He welcomed me with delicious cookies and mint tea. he also turned on the heater in the room for me. i feel very warm from both the environment and also from Youssef. I love how Youssef decorates the rooms and public area. The breakfast is awesome as well. i highly recommend you to stay with Youssef.
Tout était excellent! En tout point ! le lit ultra confortable. Nous avons pris le repas à l’auberge, succulent. Youssef nous a organiser une nuit dans sont campement en tente berbère , authentique et extraordinaire. Merci Youssef pour ta gentillesse. Et abordable! Ce fut le point fort de nos vacances.

Excelente, el mejor lugar. Su dueño y las personas que trabajan con el son muy amables y acogedores. El lugar es limpio y muy bonito, la comida deliciosa y te asesoran muy bien para poder ir al desierto, para mi fue una experiencia increíble, estaba viajando sola y me orientaron muy bien. Lo recomiendo de todas maneras, al lugar y el tour al desierto, que es una experiencia única y que vale la pena hacer. Volvería sin dudarlo, muchas gracias por todo!!!!!
Sometimes things appear too good to be true. When I booked this place the day before, there were not many decent places left on Expedia for Merzouga, and I did have bad experience before that some fake people post high rating reviews on a property that disappointed me badly. So I was highly skeptical.
But I was happy that I was proved wrong. Youssef is such a wonderful host, he picked me up from the bus station at 5:30am in the early morning and put me to the comfort of his living room sofa to catch up some sleep before the guests checked out. I never slept on anyone's sofa including mine for 3 hours.
The breakfast is both healthy and filling, with eggs, omelette, fresh orange juice, fruits and different breads, such a nice treat in his sun drenched beautiful courtyard.
He also arranged the sunset camel tour for me, and I was able to spend a magical night in a duvet covered bed in a tent.
The room of course is very comfortable and clean. Too bad due to the over night camel tour I was only able to spend a couple of hours in the actual bed. :)
The next morning he started early again to prepare breakfast for me when I returned from the desert and help me with my luggage back to the bus station.
I have stayed in so many places in the world, but rarely I have had the real feeling that it is the home away from home. This time it was, in the desert of Morocco.
Thanks Youssef, if I ever come back again to Merzouga, you know where I will be staying.
The hotel is the best out of all the places I stayed in Morocco in 3 weeks of time. It very cute, very pretty, very clean. The owner is super nice as well. We didn’t arrange for pick up. We arrived late by the bus. The owner was worried so he came to the bus station to pick us up. The next day, he let us hang around the hotel until we got picked up by the desert trip in the later afternoon.
We had the best stay here in Morocco, everything was well organised and the breakfast was our favourite at chez Youssef. Ended up staying one more night here because it was simply amazing! Highly recommend this place!
We loved our stay at Youssef's house. The location is great, very close to the desert and to the center of the village. House is very cute and lovely. Our room was big and very clean. Shower and toilet are good. You can't expect anything better is a small village near the desert really! Youssef is very nice and he was always there if we had questions. We also loved our breakfast, very tasty! We also tried dinner one night, it was absolutely amazing!!! Big big thanks again to our wonderful host and all his family! Shukran!
Chez Youssef was such a wonderful place to stay in the desert. Youssef was hospitable and informative and his house was comfortable, the bed was the best we have slept on in years!! The Tajine he made us for dinner was the best one we ate during our trip.
Kleine, gemütliche Unterkunft im typischen Lehmhaus mit mehreren Zimmern, Aufenthaltsraum und Innenhof. Youssef führt das Haus mit seiner Familie - er ist sehr freundlich und super hilfsbereit!
Das Haus liegt mitten im Ort, ist aber durch die Beschilderung leicht zu finden. Parken kann man auf der Strasse direkt vor dem Haus. Von hier aus sind es 1,5 km (5 Min mit dem Auto oder 20 Min zu Fuß) zum Parkplatz vor der großen Düne von Merzouga. Youssef bietet auch Übernachtungen im Wüstencamp an.
Youssef is a very gracious and accommodating host with a great sense of humor. The fresh, homemade meals are very delicious and his breakfast is very delicious as well. Chez Youssef is a very clean and quiet place to relax and recharge before heading out in to the Sahara. It's a 5 minute walk to the bus station or other cafes. I highly recommend Chex Youssef for anyone traveling to Merzouga. Talk to Youssef about desert adventures. He is extremely knowledgeable and can be of great assistance.
Very comfortable, clean, good food, good host, good wifi... just a few minutes walk in to main part of town and bus station. Recommend and would stay again...
Sejour exceptionnel
Youssef est un hote avec un grand coeur, toujours là pour ces clients, les accompagnant tout le long du sejour!
Voyage genial grace à Youssef!
