We loved staying at this property with its well planned design and ambiance well suited for spending a night in the desert. We had a big room with a balcony with a view of the swimming pool and the dunes. The staff was very helpful, the bed was comfortable, the shower worked just fine and we enjoyed the pre fixe menu for dinner. All in all, a very nice stay.

There as a weird and loud sound just outside of our room that kept us awake all night. It sounded like a donkey-call and our room was situated very close to perhaps the staff quarters in the back? Our room was on the second level at the far-end of the building with our balcony overlooking the pool.

Location, Breakfast, dinner, pool and room size and cleanliness were excellent.

There was no choice for dinner in the restaurant in de evening. They served a more european-style dinner. Not bad, but having a choice what to eat has our preference.

Riad Madu is one of the most beautiful places ive ever stayed in. There interieur is so beautiful en stylish. The view @ Sahara desert at swimmingpool is great. We also slept a night at Madu premium camp in the desert. Mohamed is the best guide. He deserves a 10! A great experience i would definitely recommend!

I would have liked one or 2 options for dinner.

Really nice riad! We had the chance to be upgraded, and the room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool and with a view on the sand dunes. The staff was very nice and the pool was a big plus considering the hot weather in Merzouga. The dîner served was the same for everyone and was not exceptional but fine. Overall, I strongly recommend this riad.

Nothing. This is not a criticism as the food was delicious and good value, but the portions could be considered small for some people . I was full after it, but my husband ( who has quite a big appetite ) wasn't. Again, it is not criticism as it was lovely but just something to note for certain travellers.

Riad Madu was definitely an oasis in the desert. The Raid itself is absolutely beautiful, especially at night. From we arrived the staff were so attentive. They upgraded our room free of charge, and it was stunning. The food was excellent, very tasty . The pool area was great with spectacular views . We also took the tour into the desert that they organised, and it was magnificent i would highly recommend it . Wonderful place, wonderful people, and a wonderful experience .10/10

Everything about it! Car parked in the shade, friendly and helpful staff speaking English. The food was very good, the beds comfortable and the aircon was working perfectly. The fridge was a big help to cool the beers we brought earlier elsewhere. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The view of the sand dunes is amazing especially while you're refreshing in the clean swimming pool. Ideal both for couples or families with kids like us. They can organize for you any tour you like. We chose the camel ride at dawn. If I would go back for sure I would choose the same hotel

It’s a beautiful place nearby the desert. Easy access to visit the dune. The food (dinner and breakfast) were very good. Small pool, but nice.

Riad Madu is a beautiful property with the most incredible views of the sand dunes. The service and hospitality is excellent. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Merzouga.

Riad Madu is a fantastic place to relax after a hot day spent in the Sahara. The facilities are great, the swimming pool with the view of the sand dunes is amazing. Staff was polite and provided a good service. I would highly recommend to stay here.

I love Riad Madu. I live in Fes and have stayed here twice in the past two and a half years. I hope to go again whenever I take visitors to the desert. It's a perfect place to stay before heading into a tent camp.

View quiet, peaceful hotel with amazing views. The suite was lovely and a very, very, very large bed! It was wonderful to have a pool to relax by after time in the desert heat. The hotel arranged the dune buggies for us which was great fun!

They hosted a big group (that came with a lot of noise). Swimming pool is nice but beds and chairs have had the best time.

Very charming riad, lovely outside dining area, very friendly and helpful staff, spacious room.

Our hosts were extremely helpful and kind. We loved the room and the pool. Dinner was delicious.

Nice riad almost at the edge of the dunes, with good views from some of the rooms and the pool. Modern vibe but with a traditional feel, and the pool itself is a delight and very welcome after a hot day in the Sahara sand! Breakfast is fine if not wonderful, but the dinner is at best adequate, with one waiter telling us we were being served beef and the waiter collecting our plate saying it was lamb. Hmm. The hotelier on the front desk is very good however, and extremely helpful, booking us an absolutely fabulous trip into the desert by 4WD with a Berber guide called Youssef who was totally brilliant.

The pool area could get some more love. Some of the sun loungers and umbrellas have seen better times.

Beautiful location with amazing views on the desert. Rooms are spacious and comfortable! perfect for those who seek a more luxurious stay in the desert. The inner courtyard turns into a cosy atmosphere for diner. We loved it!
