4.5/5
"The camel house is THE place to be in merzouga! It is the best bang for your buck, the price is reasonable compared to what's around and the service and place is spectacular. It's the optimal amount of luxury/authentic. Hot shower, incredible food, and Mohamed just has the most lovely presence about him. He is welcoming, kind, and so helpful. We stayed our last night here, but really wish we found this place before we arrived."

"Very clean and beautiful room with good price. I was amazed by the terrace with stunning Sahara desert view. The owner was very nice. We arrived very late in another village.
