Le Gout Du Sahara Backpackers Lodge

I booked a room for a same-day stay. At 6:30 PM, just 90 minutes before my bus arrived, they cancelled the booking without any proactive communication. I had to find their phone number myself just to get an explanation. I was then informed of maintenance issues regarding lights and lockers. I spent a significant amount of time coordinating with the booking platform to resolve the payment for the deposit and no assistance on the matter was offered by the host. I would have preferred to book els...

Genuinely couldn't find the place. And when I called noone answered

Des photos maps et booking très alléchante, une réalité au stricte opposé. Cuisine extrêmement sale, une dizaine de chats qui vivent ici et qui déféquent partout sans soucis. Une odeur particulièrement désagréable lorsque l'on va dormir. C'est la première fois que j'ai une réelle inquiétude quant à l'hygiène des lits, de ce que je mange etc... Tu rentres dans l'Hostel, Hassan adorable, philosophie de vie autour de l'authenticité et simplicité etc... Il nous propose une excurs...

Hatte gebucht. Check in laut Hostelworld bis 11pm. Supratourbusankunft 8pm, i.d.R. später. Im Bus erhalte ich 7:35pm die Nachricht: cancelld Am Folgetag Erklärung von einem sich als Hostelmanager bezeichnenden Abdul: ich wäre zu spät gewesen, solle mich davon machen, er habe zu tun... Entscheidet selbst

We booked on hostelworld and arrived with an extremely angry person behind the counter saying he is full. Then he told us he didnt clean yet and didnt want bad reviews. So he cancelled our booking. The whole hostel was empty…..

This is a very basic hostel. It is a cheap place to stay and little else. There is some creative artwork painted on the walls. The guests however are often interesting and have many great travelling stories.

I was going to stay here for a night through hostelworld, because it says that the hostel has parking. When I finally found the place, it didn't look like the pictures in the web at all, and there was no space where I could safely park the motorcycle. The only good thing is that Hassan cancelled the reservation without any problems.

Dont recommed this place.

On a profité de la piscine, mais le repas vraiment pas bon. Mauvais rapport qualité prix.

Hassan est vraiment très sympathique et il y a une belle ambiance dans l’hostel. Par contre, ce n’était pas assez propre pour moi.

It’s a proper hostel, many people, cheap and the owner is very nice 👍

For the money you'll find no better place. Hassan is very friendly, comfort and tidiness are very basic. Who's is used to such places is able to keep clean what she/he needs to be clean.

Amazing hostel for backpackers to have a good time. Shoutout to Hassan who takes care of all the guests at the hostel extremely well, I’ve never seen such hospitality in my life.

因为这家旅舍让我觉得来梅尔祖卡值得了，非常好的位置，老板侯赛因是灵魂所在。适合那些真正想体验沙漠生活而不是所谓“野奢”的游客

I had an incredible stay. Originally booked 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks. Hassan’s hostel was a great place to actually get to know Merzouga. I highly recommend skipping the “3 day tour” to explore the area. Walk through the gardens, explore the nearby mines, and talk with locals. It’s well worth the effort to get out there on your own. Hassan was a fantastic host and I’m looking forward to planning my next visit.

I did a guided solo camel trip for three night arranged by Hassan. It was a wonderful experience with dunes and Nomad people, I recommended the experience if your looking for a authentic and wild trip in the desert

It was a pleasure to meet Hassan, the owner, a gentleman and very authentic person. He was welcoming in a very simple and genuine way, so that I felt at home in his hostel. The artwork left on the walls by previous guests is amazing, some worthy of being in a gallery, in my opinion. I recommend spending several nights. Take your time with the dunes, buy some fossils or meteorites, drink tea, chat with the other guests (some long-termers), pet the cats, or just do nothing! There will be cats.

Best host ever (Hassan) and very social place, we got tea multiple times a day and breakfast, dinner, he was very helpful with anything we needed. Very cheap also paid 100 MAD for a night and a half.

Was amazing my stay here, thank you so much for everything

Wonderful hostel with a lovely host and delicious breakfast! There’s a great view on the terrace and it really gives you a feel for the little mountain village of Imlil, where it resides. The place is swarming with enthusiastic, friendly hikers and you’re sure to make lots of friends here. Mohammed, the host is an absolutely lovely human being; super sweet, funny, and chill. 10/10. No notes!

Hassan's place was a great stay and the service was great. We got a great dinner recommendation and breakfast was fresh and included. We were also never short of fresh tea, highly recommend if you are looking for a budget stay in Merzouga.

Hassan est de très bon conseil, chambre impeccable et belle ambiance. Et un très très bon thé.

Hassan is the most amazing host I’ve had during my travels in Morocco! I felt very safe as a solo traveling women at his place. The hostel itself is basic but filled with so much love that u will easily feel at home. It’s just on the street where u can find restaurants and shops and only a quick walk away from the dunes. Would always come back here!

Un super séjour chez Hassan ! Quelle hospitalité, et avec tous les conseils qu'il faut pour découvrir se petit havre de paix du village berbère de Merzouga, loin du tourisme. Encore merci pour ces4 nuits passées dans ta maison berbère authentique, et pour la programmation de mon séjour dans le désert.

Hassan was the most interesting person who spoke like 10 languages and is a very seasoned traveler. This is the place you want to be if you want a down to earth experience of Merzouga. Hassan is extremely friendly and will do anything for his guests. He speaks English very well and helped us with his local knowledge as a Merzouga native.

Coolest hostel ever! The owner was super chill and even hooked us up with breakfast every single morning. The beds were comfy, and cats literally were chilling in my room all day. It’s right next to the sand dunes and on the main strip with tons of restaurants nearby. Absolutely goated spot 11/10 🐈🐈‍⬛

Authentic Moroccan hostel experience! Hassan is very welcoming and goes out of his way to help you with anything you need. We will be coming back!
