Dar Sidi Bounou

He's trying to cancel my booking and closed out this place for the season ended up setting this up with the awesome spot to stay. Super nice guy delicious! Real talented chefs wonderful

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Having to leave and come home

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!)
