This was our favourite place to stay in Marocco - maybe anywhere! The rooms are spacious, clean, pretty and very comfortable. Breakfasts were AMAZING, the location was perfect, and the organised tour into the desert was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The location was fantastic, and we loved the friendly cats outside the house, who were obviously well taken care of. Youssef is one of the kindest, most welcoming, and most friendly people we met on our journey, and we can't recommend staying here highly enough.

The hotel is in a perfect location, two minutes from the Main Street and with plenty of choices for food and activities; a close walk from the dunes as well. The room was really nice and clean and Idir’s attention and availability made us feel like at home. Thank you ever so much!!

This is morocco hospitality at its best. Our favorite people in our whole trip; genuine, sweet, accommodating... Good food, spotless, walking distance to dunes. They also arrenged our camel ride and were very professional at all times.

Most of my communication was with Idir, who I think works for Chez Youssef. Idir was very kind and kept in constant contact. My supratours bus arrived late from Ouarzazate in the evening and he was there to pick me up and walk to Chez Youssef together. His French and Spanish are great, English not so much but gets by. The place is clean, has shower a toilet (not of the conventional western kind). When I visited late December it was very quiet in the area. Local families of Merzouga live in small houses around. Table tennis table available. Rooftop terrace with a view of desert. And inside is adorned nicely. It was very cold at night time in December here, but sure enough they had a warm sleeping bag in my room available for use :) I did a short tour of the desert for a good price. This involved Idir taking me to a local camel herder, who then does the tour. This local may ask for a small tip after. Other members of staff very kind too and welcoming.

Youssef arranged for us a very authentic Moroccan experience for a night in the middle of the desert with 2 berber guides. He was supportive and helped us also for additional activities such ATV tour.

Our stay at Youssef was amazing, he makes you feel really at home and is super kind. The room, breakfast and hospitality were great and Youssef organizes night trips to the dessert in a mobile camp far away from all the luxury camps. Thanks for the amazing experience and I would definitely recommend a stay at Youssef followed by a trip to the dessert!

Chez Youssef is marked with a star in the book the Lonely Planet and with good reason. He is very welcoming. He organized all our excursions with awesome local guides. Made us a good dinner. The house he built is beautiful, but most importantly M. Youssef is an exceptional caring host. Knowing that our next destination after our stay with him was Marrakesh, he contacted us to make sure we were ok and if we needed any assistance following the earthquake event. Would recommend him 100%

A perfect place to stay in Merzouga if you want a proper Moroccan experience. Youssef was so friendly, and helped to organize a desert night for us with his friends Ali and Youssef - where we rode into the desert on camels and were cooked the tastiest Tagine we had in Morocco. Away from the hoards of tourists in tent city, it was a unique and intimate experience. So glad we stayed here and couldn’t recommend it more, especially with the desert night. Other local recommendations: We loved having coffee and chilling at Chez Les Artistes - went there twice it was so peaceful.

Youssef has a rockstar reputation in travel guides such as lonely planet and he certainly didn’t disappoint. He is so kind and welcoming. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He gives great travel advice. We also book a trek in the desert through him, and it was perfect. You should 100% stay there !
