We were a group of 11. After being in sub par desert accommodation in Ghardaia we were grateful that after a nine hour drive we came to this place. First impressions weren’t great as we were met in a dusty courtyard with leaves and date palms strewn everywhere in the ground. We were then led through a maze to get through to the more spacious new wing extension. The typical room had a double bed and a single with aircon. TV (not sure it worked) and fridge. My toilet didn’t work so they then moved me to a larger suite but this came with no aircon unit or fridge. (Several other of our group had problems with the toilets and had to move rooms or flush them by sticking their hands into the tank.) While the rooms could have been freshened up a bit better before our arrival, they were clean and comfortable. The linens were freshly washed. (If you wanted your room serviced daily you needed to give your key to the receptionist.) WIFI was excellent throughout the property . They also offer same day laundry service. Food was good, though unimaginative for vegetarians—omelette. It was good though. Otherwise it was a neat based soup, salad and meat with French fries. As other reviewers have noted, however, the breakfast is very poor. Some doughy pastry. No butter or jam or yoghurt. Service is very friendly and kindly. They offer 4 w drive tours to the sand dunes and an hour of quad biking through the dunes with a guide for 5,000 dinars. There is also a clean swimming pool
