We stayed one night at the auberge and one night at the bivouac and enjoyed both places. The rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable, but where the place really shines is the outdoor spaces. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the pool, but we loved our lunch outside the day after we arrived. Late that afternoon, we... More

I've been fortunate enough to accompany guests to Derkaoua on many occasions. If you are unhappy with Derkaoua, you can rest assured that there is nothing better available. The auberge closes in high summer and mid winter, and I really miss it. The rooms are not basic by local standards - quite the reverse. The auberge occupies a remote oasis;... More

We had driven 10~12 hours from Marrakech solely to experience a dawn camel ride into the Sahara Desert. Finding Derkaoua at night was no small feat, but we were very pleasantly surprised to have a wonderful dinner awaiting us. It was to be one of our best meals in Morocco and as it turns out the best thing about Derkaoua... More

We were supposed to stay 1 night here and 1 night in the desert bivouac that the Auberge owns out in the desert but a very large sandstorm meant that we had to turn back and scurry for shelter back at the Auberge. Sad but not a hardship as it is a great place to stay. Basic but comfortable rooms... More

I stayed here with a group of birders - as a group booking I am unable to comment on prices/value for money. The Auberge was very comfortable; the rooms are not super-luxurious but were well fitted out and comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. The food was excellent and service was generally friendly and helpful. One or two... More

When a sandstorm postponed our stay at the Dunes of Merzouga desert camp, we were warmly welcomed by Madame Bouchra and her staff. Dinner with wine under the stars was a delightful experience and our meal was delicious. The rooms are basic, but very adequate and comfortable plus there is plenty of hot water. The pool looked wonderful. The auberge's... More

We stayed a night at the auberge and a night in its bivouac. My review concentrates on the bivouac part of the experience, which was stunning. The auberge was fine, but the real gem was the bivouac, which was out of this world. It was the highlight of our Moroccan road trip family adventure and I'd recommend it highly to... More

If you're concerned about sleeping in the desert without toilet and amenities and don't feel like roughing it up this is the place. It sounds very western but that was the main reason I went with this. And believe me, you still get plenty of authentic experience. Unless you're a diehard backpacker, you will enjoy it. Where this place delivers... More

follow the pols from erfoud, and yes we did it in a compact rental car driving in the sand. this place was gorgeous, the french owner where a little snoby when we first arrived but that was maybe because we dressed like backpackers. The food is fantastic, the rooms are nice very clean and they organized us camel tours early... More
