We loved staying at this property with its well planned design and ambiance well suited for spending a night in the desert. We had a big room with a balcony with a view of the swimming pool and the dunes. The staff was very helpful, the bed was comfortable, the shower worked just fine and we enjoyed the pre fixe menu for dinner. All in all, a very nice stay.

Location, Breakfast, dinner, pool and room size and cleanliness were excellent.

There as a weird and loud sound just outside of our room that kept us awake all night. It sounded like a donkey-call and our room was situated very close to perhaps the staff quarters in the back? Our room was on the second level at the far-end of the building with our balcony overlooking the pool.

Riad Madu is one of the most beautiful places ive ever stayed in. There interieur is so beautiful en stylish. The view @ Sahara desert at swimmingpool is great. We also slept a night at Madu premium camp in the desert. Mohamed is the best guide. He deserves a 10! A great experience i would definitely recommend!

There was no choice for dinner in the restaurant in de evening. They served a more european-style dinner. Not bad, but having a choice what to eat has our preference.

Really nice riad! We had the chance to be upgraded, and the room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool and with a view on the sand dunes. The staff was very nice and the pool was a big plus considering the hot weather in Merzouga. The dîner served was the same for everyone and was not exceptional but fine. Overall, I strongly recommend this riad.

I would have liked one or 2 options for dinner.

Seamless stay. Booked the Riad and the Premium Camp. First night was the Riad which is absolutely stunning, clean and well taken care of. We had rooms 16 & 17 which had an attached balcony and overlooked the courtyard. Room was massive, bed extra large, mini fridge and big bathroom. The pool area is absolutely amazing. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. Dinner was delicious, and there is not alcohol licence, but you can bring your own wine to dinner. The next day off to the camp, at approximately 4pm. So checkout of room was at 12 noon. They then booked quads for us for the afternoon €40 a bike for 1 hour. At 4pm we were driven about 20 min to where you get the camels. The camp is what looked like the 2nd furthest camp on the Algerian border side of the dune. Camel ride was an hour, when we got to the camp the camel guy showed us some items to sell. If you don't want to buy just tip him, really should tip him anyway as he just walked for an hour up and down hill in the sand dragging you on a camel. It was just on sunset when we arrived, arrival tea was served then 4 course dinner at 7:30pm. Then music with the staff who are fantastic. The tent was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast and 4x4 through the dunes back to the Riad. Best experience, no fussing around finding parking and looking and waiting for a ride to the camp. Doing all through the one company was definitely a great decision. Be very very mindful of what camp you book, if you do not choose Riad Madu. As there are so many that are not actually out in the dunes, and have a road and other camps or massive hotel buildings next door.

Per usual in Morocco , rock hard beds.

Riad Madu was definitely an oasis in the desert. The Raid itself is absolutely beautiful, especially at night. From we arrived the staff were so attentive. They upgraded our room free of charge, and it was stunning. The food was excellent, very tasty . The pool area was great with spectacular views . We also took the tour into the desert that they organised, and it was magnificent i would highly recommend it . Wonderful place, wonderful people, and a wonderful experience .10/10

Nothing. This is not a criticism as the food was delicious and good value, but the portions could be considered small for some people . I was full after it, but my husband ( who has quite a big appetite ) wasn't. Again, it is not criticism as it was lovely but just something to note for certain travellers.

Everything about it! Car parked in the shade, friendly and helpful staff speaking English. The food was very good, the beds comfortable and the aircon was working perfectly. The fridge was a big help to cool the beers we brought earlier elsewhere. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The view of the sand dunes is amazing especially while you're refreshing in the clean swimming pool. Ideal both for couples or families with kids like us. They can organize for you any tour you like. We chose the camel ride at dawn. If I would go back for sure I would choose the same hotel

Nice riad almost at the edge of the dunes, with good views from some of the rooms and the pool. Modern vibe but with a traditional feel, and the pool itself is a delight and very welcome after a hot day in the Sahara sand! Breakfast is fine if not wonderful, but the dinner is at best adequate, with one waiter telling us we were being served beef and the waiter collecting our plate saying it was lamb. Hmm. The hotelier on the front desk is very good however, and extremely helpful, booking us an absolutely fabulous trip into the desert by 4WD with a Berber guide called Youssef who was totally brilliant.

Great location, with view of the Saraha dunes. Really nice pool area. Room was huge, and had a fridge too. Had an enormous bed, must have been emperor sized. Very clean overall, nicely decorated hotel. Shaded car parking.

AC was underpowered in our room, was still very warm. There is no bar, which you'd hope for at this price point. No menus either for soft drinks/coffee, but they will serve them when asked.

We had a great stay at Riad Madu. The facility was really stylish, clean and the customer service was excellent. Another advantage is extra services offered and organized by Riad - such as buggy etc. It was very convenient and the quality of services was good . It is also possible to move from Riad to Madu desert camp. We divided our stay into two parts - stay in Riad and at the desert camp and it was a great idea.
