    One of the reasons we had chosen this property for was that it featured a private sauna in the room. Unfortunately there was no sauna. It should be removed from the room description. A modest amount of money should be invested into fixing a couple of annoying inconveniences like door hinges and door handle.

    Breakfast (included) was delicious. We opted in for dinner (included soup, tagine meal, appetizers and fruits ) which was home-made and one of the best we had in Morocco. The owner made us feel at home. He also arranged for us a private camel trip, which exceeded our expectations. The location is about 15-minute walk from the sand desert front. Very peaceful neighborhood. There is a roof terrace to see sunrise. Traditional rustic room with a private entrance and bathroom, hot water shower and heated bedroom (you can regulate the heat). Plenty of warm extra blankets and bathrobes provided. We arrived in the middle of the night, which was not a problem.

    Everything was perfect

    Traditional Berber house with amazing hospitality from the family. Idir, his brother and the whole family have been extremely welcoming and helpful. On arrival was met at the bus station and took me to the house and had a delicious meal even if quite late in the evening. The best thing about the stay was that Idir and his family made me feel like at home especially the last day when coming back from the desert I had to wait the bus until the evening. Delicious meal are prepared . They also offer desert tours etc. My best stay in Morocco! Extremely recommended if in Merzouga !!

    The family who run the auberge are very helpful and cooked us great meals. There were spaces for us to lounge away from the heat and the WiFi worked. We also enjoyed a desert trip that fitted our requirements. A memorable time.

    It's a traditional bereber house. The host family is very kind. They help us with all the activities we wanted to do at the desert. (Explore the desert with a car and sleep in a desert camp). We tried in the stance the pizza bereber (it's completely vegetarian). While we do the activities in the desert the help us to keep our backpacks and let us have showers. Totally recommended.

    In the evening the streets there in Merzouga are very dark and not very much alive. So I didn't want to leave the house at that time of the day. But I experienced this in other cities of marroco too. So it is nothing about the auberge.

    I felt very comfortable in this nice little auberge. It is a beautiful old berber house, nicely decorated with a little garden. The stuff ist a very nice family that welcomed me very friendly. So I felt like home. Hamid also organized a solo desert trip with a very nice and trustworthy guide. That was important for me as a woman who travels alone. The breakfast was also very good and the family will cook for you some delicious food, if you order it. Thank you for the nice stay!

    Very helpful staff, the family in charge is super nice, food is great ! We changed our plan in Merzouga to book a stay in the desert with them, and we didn t regret it ! I would recommend to contact the hostel regarding any activities (camel ride, desert camp) that they will arrange for you at the best price for the best services.

    Very affordable but still one of the best places we stayed at during our three weeks in Morocco. The host helped us booking a great overnight trip to the desert, also for a very good price. Highly recommended!

    We spend quite a lot of time in Merzouga due to the bus connections. At Chez Julia we almost felt like being home. The room is simple but clean. Idir and his wife are very engaged and we had the best Tajine and Berber Pizza in Marocco.

    We stayed in summer so it was extremely hot in the room. As a result, Iddir prepared us the bed to sleep outside of our room on the terrace which turned out to be so nice (we slept under the milky way and it was the best sleep we ever had during the trip in Morocco). So nothing was bad.

    Iddir and his wife took care of us like family. We were offered to stay at the property even after check out to wait for our night bus. Iddir’s wife made us lunch and offered if we wanted to have a ‘berber pizza’ for our trip. Kindest people.

    Nothing not to like. This is a family home in which love, respect & affection was palpable. Just get 'the little one' off the phone!

    Idir and Family are the kindest people. We were invited to break the fast with them on our first night: the most delicious Berber ‘pizza’ & freshly juiced jug of beetroot- the best food on our travels. It was good to relax a little in the garden & roof terrace & meet Harmi, Idir’s brother who we decided we were so lucky to meet and enjoy a beautiful overnight camel desert trip with. He was attentive to every detail, a brilliant host. He has an amazing voice along with playing traditional music around the fire, so knowledgeable about the stars & full of stories & oversaw our return to Idir’s for more food before our departure. This felt like the real deal after the usual hassles aimed at tourists.

    We arrived late in Merzouga with no booking and we were welcomed with tea by Idir and Hami! The staff was very friendly and took care of everything we needed for the stay. The room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was delicious and in big quantity :)) The staff are very flexible for your needs and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The baraka excursion was also amazing! Great overall stay!! Would 100% recommend :))
