Guest reviews for Takojt
"We struggled to find the hotel, but this is our bad. We noticed a panel indicating the hotel after some back and forth in Merzouga. The staff was amazing, especially Hassan and his crew. The food was delicious, we really enjoyed the pool with a direct view in the dunes and the owner, very warm and keen to share tips on local activities. Thanks all!"

"Very friendly staff. It was a good value for the money, and they don't pressure you too much to do their tours. The countertops with fossils in them were fascinating and representative of the local area."
"Surfaces in the room were a little dusty but that's expected in the desert."
"The owner and staff were excellent, the food was fantastic and they really made our stay special by going the extra mile. After checking out, they must have done a quick check of the room and came running out to the car and return my wife’s wedding ring which she had left in the bathroom….. we couldn’t believe it and I would say I doubt that would of happened anywhere in the world. Because they are out of the main streets of Merzouga you don’t get the noise of quad bikes etc …"

"Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. Don't even hesitate, just book it. Staff will go beyond their means to accommodate you. Just sit in the pool and look at the dunes, relax... It's a perfect place for it. You'll stay in a place owned for generations, surrounded by local and owner families. And if you're nice enough they'll treat you like family :) Don't forget to book a Sahara jeep excursion with Hassan, hotel owner cousin. Great guy, recommended!"
"Ignore comments about sand or bugs etc. You're choosing to stay right on the edge of Sahara desert and guess what, you'll get some amount of sand on your doorstep. Maybe even occasional ant or bug. You can't avoid it, otherwise it's a very clean and nice place to stay. Stupid people will complain about stupid things, ignore them."
"Maborak was a fantastic host. The minute we booked, he was happy to pick us up personally from the Dream Café which was very much appreciated as I had come down with a fever from the long 9-hour bus trip from Fes. Thank you Maborak for your generous hospitality and your amazing hotel - with its cool pool and expansive views of the dunes - we appreciated all your help with tours, transport, advice and your kindness and would highly recommend Hotel Takojit for anyone seeking an authentic desert experience. Oh, and we hands down say it was the best Morroccon meal we had. 👏"
"Nothing, we loved everything about our stay."
"It was truly magical, the house, the breathtaking view, and the entire atmosphere. You can only truly understand the feeling once you have been there yourself. The service was absolutely exceptional, with so much care, attention, and time devoted to us. Every detail made us feel welcome and cherished. We have never tasted couscous so delicious in our lives, a true masterpiece. Thank you, dear chef, for your passion and skill. We are deeply grateful for the beautiful and unforgettable moments we shared together. This experience will stay in our hearts forever. Once again, thank you to each and every one of you for making our stay so special. We truly look forward to returning very soon."
"I can’t think of anything."
"It was a great accomodation, a beautifull view at the dessert. We stayed for two nights and the breakfast, lunch and dinner where good. The owner arranged a 4x4 tour in the morning and a camelride by sunset for us. Both tours where very nice"

"Takojt was perfect! It has a very friendly and peaceful atmosphere, the staff and owner are amazing. They organised a camel trip into the desert and I spent the night in a treehouse! The food was good, the room was clean and comfortable, if you want to relax and see the desert, Takojt is the perfect place."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

Paul Hotel Palace Zaida
"Quiet location, garbage to store the bicycles. Shared bathroom was clean and close to the room, which had its own sink. Good hot shower. Friendly owners."
Casey Hotel Imilchil
"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"
Samer Le Gite du Barrage
"I had a wonderful experience in the desert. I stayed in a bivouac room, which was beautiful and comfortable in the middle of nature. Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."

"We really enjoyed our stay at “Kasbah du Bout”. The host was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. The Kasbah was very clean and well kept. We experienced a relaxing atmosphere and stay. We recommend staying here when visiting Zagora. Fred K. United States."
"Amazing camp accessible by car. We only had front-wheel drive Dacia, so it was a bit difficult to get there. If you go, lease a 4x4 for sure. We only wanted a day trip on camels, so we arrived by car. There are many camps that you can visit on a multi-day trip on camels deeper in the desert, however, if you only want a day trip on camels and have car, this is a must-visit. Personnel superb, food superb Bathroom facilities better than most hotels, in the tent (available outside of tent as well - they have public bathrooms) They booked a day trip on camels. We wanted to try this limited version before going on a multiple day trip on camels. I suggest telling them that you don't want to spend 4h on the lunch break. It's too long. 2h of break is enough. You go about 2h on camels' backs and then back after lunch. This camp was top 2 experiences we had in morocco. If you want larger and more iconic sand dunes, visit Merzouga. The dunes here are small, yet beautiful"
