The place is better that in photos and we enjoyed staying there so much! We stayed in Chez twice because it's perfectly located close to the only bus stop connecting Merzouga with Marrakesh and close to the main Street with all restaurants. The host was exceptionally kind and understanding and accommodating, allowing early check in and even providing transfer to the Cafe du Sud where many tents drop off is located. Chez Belkacem also offers all desert activities to do during the days which can be perfect for people who want to explore the Sahara without struggling in cold and lack of amenities in the tents. We've been in Morocco for 5 weeks but we especially enjoyed Chez so much and especially appreciated the kindness of the host!

The place is great considering that it's the remote village next to desert, so it met our expectations!

Very friendly host and helpful host - I felt like I was living with family. Central - and just as few minutes from the bus-station and restaurants - still very quiet at night. Very clean - very comfortable bed. Shower with good water pressure and hot water. Very good breakfast. A super plus that I could check in to my room 6 in the morning after arriving with the night bus. I would absolutely recommend this place

Nothing to dislike

I highly recommend this accomodation. Owner is really nice man who did everything for his guests to feel good. He sent his brother to pick me from station because it was already dark. He helped me a lot with other things too. I travel alone and I felt safe, which is very important for me. Accomodation has great location - very close to Supratous bus station. I went with other guests from accomodation to 4/4 tour to see surrounding of Merouga and it was nice experience. I also recommand to order tour to Sahara camp from him. People who did told me that they had a nice experiece. Unfortunately I booked with other company and didnt (I was in Barber fire camp).

Belkacem is a very welcoming and helpful person. The Mesmen for breakfast was delicious. The bedroom was huge. The place has a nice traditional style.

The bedroom could be better with a couple of chairs to put the clothes. Hooks for the towels and clothes in the bathroom would also be useful.

If you are on a budget this is one of the best choices in Merzouga. 5 minutes from Supratours bus station, in the middle of the village so you don't have to go to the dunes. If you want they can arrange you camel riding, overnight stay in the desert or jeep tour. We took the jeep tour and it was totally worthy. We also had breakfast (bread, cheese, tea, marmalade). Also you can check in early if you bus arrives at 07:00 for example.

1. The location is great, and they even let us use the shower and bathroom while waiting for our bus to Fes. 2. The owner treated us like we were part of the family. 3. The atmosphere was so comfortable and relaxing, it felt just like home. Overall, this was the best place we've stayed. We will definitely return when we visit Merzouga again ;)

Nothing

GREAT value for money. Cassim picked us up from our bus which arrived an hour late. the room was comfy and spacious with great aircon. it’s a short walk into the main centre of town. we did the Quad bike tour which was so fun and just us.

the good. breakfast wasn’t great. it was just bread and spreads and the tagine was quite bland. minor considering what you pay

Perfect location, shop is behind accomodation, u have view exactly to sand dunes. Hani ( son of owner of accomodation) was for us the best person in whole Morocoo, u can talk with him about religion, native people, food, local customs, about trips,he takes us everywhere we want, nothing was problem, even to highest sand dune to sandboarding! He gaves us the best tips for trips around with really good price. We are young budget travellers and this point we really want to recommend for everyone who dont want to be in circle of typical local peoiple who wants you to pay a lot of money for adventures. Of course breakfasts was delicious, even if u wanna catch bus from Merzouga at 7:00 no problem to have breakfast in early morning!

We have experienced the true Moroccan hospitality and enjoyed authentic atmosphere. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, nice local traditional food, good conversations and amazing location to reach the desert by foot.

This is the travelers dream! The host is the best. At arrival we were welcomed with traditional tea and he showed us the rooftop for seeing the sunset. He arranged an amazing half day trip into the desert by 4x4 to see a nomad village and drive over the sand dunes. He made us an incredible lunch back at the hotel. We had a few hours to spare after the trip and the host would let us stay and rest in the cozy and cool hotel where we could use the bathroom and WiFi while waiting. The room itself was beautiful, the shower was nice and warm.

Nothing!
