"This place was amazing. From the time they met us prior to our camel ride till the 4x4 dropped us back off the next morning we couldn't have been treated better. The camp was beautiful. Even more impressive than the photos! and the staff was very professional and attended to our every need! I would highly recommend a stay with Horaz."
"The service is excellent. It is very thoughtful to give us a bottle of sand of Sahara when we leaving. The food is excellent too. I had a very very good time there."
"We were offered a private tour in the desert from the kind host. The tour was with Ibrahim who drove us to the dunes, across the desert and to the nomads living there. Ibrahim took good care of us and we highly recommend the tour. "
"What an incredible experience this was. Hafid and his staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The setting was spectacular and peaceful. The staff was so friendly and hospitable. The drum circle was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. We enjoyed learning about the culture. A once in a lifetime experience. "
"My stay at Merzouga Retreat Camp was absolutely unforgettable! From the warm hospitality to the breathtaking desert views, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had an authentic experience. The luxury tents were clean and beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and tradition. Watching the sunrise over the dunes during the camel ride was magical. Highly recommend this camp for anyone looking for a unique and peaceful getaway in...
"The staff are beyond friendly. We enjoyed our fireside riddles and laughed a lot with some of the staff. Our camel ride out to the camp with guide Mohammed was stellar. There was a stop for the sunset and some local berbere men shared their sand board with us so we could play on the dunes. The only thing I'd change about the entire experience is the dinner. I wish it'd been more authentic and less "fancy". I should also warn that the heat does not and has not worked in the camp in some time. We...
"It was a great experience with very friendly staff and delicious food. Breakfast is included, but the meal costs €20. Please note that transport to the camp is not included and comes at an extra cost."
"The staff at Sanmao were outstanding, especially Jalil and Youseff, who went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect. Their hospitality and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed and cared for."
"The photos are simply untrue. The camp is in poor condition - broken chairs & lanterns; blankets thrown about; garbage strewn here & there. There is only one outlet in each tent and electricity was not always available. We had less than five minutes of hot water over 48 hours. Often one teenager was the only staff on site, and we had to communicate using Google translate, as the adults simply were not around. Hamid did his best to keep things lively, but he’s working with very little. I...

"It was a nice experience and definitely enjoyed it, if it was great I would have said so. Our toilet seat was broken the tents were a bit tired, and all in all I think an 8/10.
The front of house staff were fantastic, the driver on the expensive 4x4 transfer from Mezougah to the tent was not so friendly but nor was he rude or unpleasant so those are the reasons for our rating"
"Avoid at all costs – complete scam!
This place is nothing but a tourist trap. After you pay, you suddenly find out that they charge €25 per person just to drive you 10 minutes to the camp. Once you arrive, they tell you that air conditioning is NOT included and demand another €30 per person if you want it. In the desert heat of 50°C, they would literally let you suffocate in a plastic PVC tent unless you pay extra.
There is no free water – everything costs extra, even basic survival needs. The whole experience is just pay, pay, pay with hidden fees at every step. To make it worse, they keep changing the name of the camp, so even bad reviews don’t matter because they rebrand under a different name.
This is not “luxury” at all, it’s a brutal scam on tourists. Stay away!

"Très belle expérience en plein coeur du désert. Les pieds dans la dune, littéralement. Service au top (diner copieux et très bon, mais à payer en extra) avec des jeunes adorables qui vous accueillent très bien (petit concert le premier soir). Le wifi ne marche pas dans les chambres éloignées de la tente commune. Pas grave mais faut le dire. Ils vont installer la clim apparemment. En attendant il faut vivre l’expérience authentique. Magique le soir avec les étoiles. Très joli "jardin" pour regarder le désert . Un vrai effort de décoration. Romantique "
