If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place, that's the one. Nice atmosphere, very helpful owner. If you want a desert tour just ask as it can be arranged according to your needs. The actual place is about 4 min drive from Mhamid so if you don't want to drive just for a dinner ask the owner as he can prepare that for you.

A very good experience within the desert atmosphere. We were warmly received and enjoyed a lot out time there.

Great stay, comfortable rooms, nothing fancy but perfect for the stay in M’hamid. The food was absolutely delicious, creative and wished we could have eaten everyday, best food of Morocco! would definitely come back and thanks for everything!!

Amazing place, amazing hosts! My kids loved it. You are only 5 min walk to feel completely lost in sand dunes. The place is authentic and very peaceful.

It would be easy to nitpick small details about the property but these blemishes added character and did not detract from my experience in any way. It is not a polished hotel-like experience but why come all this way to stay in a hotel? All in all, there is nothing I didn’t like about the property aside from the drain smell in the bathroom - this was easily resolved with some ventilation.

From the food to the hospitality; it was a fantastic experience. Both Daoude and Nancy provided excellent conversation and I learned vast amounts about the local way of life. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed throughout. Daoude and his children even accompanied me into Mhamid and showed me where the road stopped and the sand began, and he gave me a quick tour of the town. He was always happy to help. He also offered to organise a tour for me - this was done without any pressure at all, which was a welcome relief from many experiences on my trip. Thanks to Daoude I spent two nights in the desert trekking with a camel, a private guide, and sleeping under the stars next to a campfire. A fantastic and authentic experience that must be done. The bed was very comfortable and the food was the best I’d experienced on my trip so far. I would absolutely return here for a break. The husky and ginger cat were also wonderful additions. Dar Sidi Bounou is perfect for families and solo travellers alike and they seem to get a healthy flow of both. I will miss being here and hope to return in the future.

The wifi did not reach the room and due to a small plumbing issue we did not have hot water one morning (was quickly resolved).

Great place to stay very close to Mhamid yet far enough to be quiet. There is an amazing family that lives there who will take care of you very well. The father is very friendly and accommodating and his wife is an amazing cook, we had the best home cooked meal in our whole Morocco trip here. There are some small dunes right behind the house that you can explore. Breakfast is also great.

Having to leave and come home

Daoud and Nancy make this little oasis in the desert a magical place. Quiet and comfortable with really good food, the facilities here are excellent. Go for a walk in the dunes in the back by yourself or continue your journey with an excursion, or explore the places of interest near Ouled Driss, Dar Sidi Bounou is the perfect place to stay.

A heartfelt thank you to Daoud and his wife for the truly memorable stay! This place feels like home, with a cozy family atmosphere. It's simple in the best way, nothing overly fancy, but it has everything you need. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is perfect if you're looking for peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Mhamid. From the camp, it's just a short walk to some beautiful nearby dunes, which made for such a fun and unique experience! And the food, wow. Without a doubt, the best we've had in Morocco! Every meal was a surprise, with creative, flavorful, and varied dishes that we couldn’t get enough of. Daoud also organizes treks into the Sahara, and if you’re looking for an authentic adventure paired with interesting conversations, this is the place to be. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco, and we can’t recommend it enough. Wishing you all the best for the future, and we hope to see you again someday! (And please give a big hug to Orange and Billy from us!)

A lovely family run place and the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in!

Best food we've had during our two weeks in Morocco! Very reasonably priced as well. Perfect stop before/after going into the dunes.

Nothing really.

Very nice cottage by a small part of desert. toilet is outside but clean and very much ok. We didn't have dinner there but the breakfast was very good and people very friendly. Also quality/price relation very good! I recommend it!

Welcoming and friendly host

Dawood and Hicham have been so nice with us, helped us in any way possible, from letting us cook to use the washing machine. Plus the breakfast was 10/10! Living in Morocco means that whenever I travel around I only look for authentic places. Dawoods place is one of them! Thank you Dawood, you are such a good host!

Outside M'Hamid, very peaceful, lovely people, great home made food. We left our luggage in the Dar for two nights in the desert. Good place to park our motorbikes

everything was great

the location and the staff

A very nice and unforgettable experience. We had a great rest with our family. Our first contact with the desert. Davud and his family gave us a great welcome. The food was really good. I recommend that you let yourself be spoiled by the cuisine of their home. Davud organized a camel ride for us. Because it was too hot in our room, we slept on the terrace for two nights. Wonderful. I recommend.

A wonderful location full of palm trees and traditional buildings, archways and shaded sitting areas. The food was fantastic and we were well looked after by the hosts.

Staying there was like being invited into their home and being shown Moroccan hospitality. they arrange excellent tours of Erg Chigaga from locals with no up sell pressure. the nightly traditional Moroccan dinners were excellent.

People expecting to be pampered in a fantasy of Arabian luxury should look elsewhere. Dar Sidi Bounou is a beautiful place, but it is not catering to those who expect their every whim to be indulged. This is a welcoming, family-friendly home in the desert. Come with an open heart and a good attitude and you will find something very special.

Daoud and his family made me feel very welcome at Dar Sidi Bounou. It's a special place - both a good base for exploring the local area and heading out into the desert, and a beautiful place to relax in and of itself. Despite some wild weather (rain in the Sahara!), I was comfortable throughout my stay. The meals are excellent.

nothing, I would go back tomorrow

we had a lovely stay at dar sidi. an absolutely unique experience. the building is on the verge of the desert, you have a wonderful view of palm trees and sand. you can walk in the dunes steps away from your room. the family who runs it is lovely, welcoming and making your stay even more pleasant. the food is delicious and local. I would recommend to anyone looking for a genuine experience with lovely people and in a breathtaking location.
