    Location wasn’t very easy to get to

    The buffet was excellent, staff were friendly, bed was comfortable. Would describe it as a cheap resort. Or a very high end hostel.

    This hotel was comfortable and clean, exactly what we needed for a quick day trip in the desert. I did read all the reviews and agree that this hotel is slightly outdated, but you need to consider the context here: There are only four hotels in the whole area and this is a very small town in the middle of the Sahara desert. Considering all of these facts, I would say that this hotel serves the purpose for exactly what we needed: a clean, comfortable and safe stay for us to visit the Sahara desert the next day. It is unfair to hold a hotel in this area of Tunisia to the same standard, that you would hold another hotel in a western country. The staff was also very friendly. In addition, please keep in mind the cost of the room also includes breakfast and a 5-course dinner. There was ample parking for our car when we arrived. Pool was beautiful.

    Pricing for bottle water, payment options, annoying calls to the room at bedtime to remind one having forgotten to pay around 1 EUR half an hour early when there was no clear indication that it actually was necessary.

    Pool was nice, other travellers interesting to to talk to.

    Despite several pre-visit discussions about my 15 year old son needing an adjacent room to ours that was not honored by the hotel. Luckily they were able to get him close but not adjacent to. The carpets in the hallways was extremely worn with holes and stains. Often times there was a sewage smell in the hallway by our rooms. My husband would remedy that by opening the doors at opposite ends of the hallways.

    The staff was AMAZING! The dining staff were BEYOND accommodating, so gracious, made us feel like their personal guests! The gentleman that kept our rooms so wonderfully clean…. there are no words to adequately describe how PHENOMENAL he was!!!!! The location is fantastic! Right around the corner from my in-laws!!!

    The pool wasn’t operative at the time of our visit and there were a few issues with plumbing and lighting but we think thus was just due to the first season since COVID not quite started yet. Plumbing and lighting were resolved quickly by staff.

    Very spacious hotel with lots of places to relax and a very comfortable and inviting bar. Room was pleasant and spacious. If you stay here make sure you visit the hammam and have a massage - they are very very good here. Staff all very helpful and chatty.

    The hotel is a real oasi in the desert: the building is huge, with a great pool and our room had a balcony. Everyone from the staff was kind and helpful: we had the chance to book a tour with the camel in the desert directly from the reception (for a very reasonable price, 15€). Breakfast and dinner were included: dinner was not exceptional, but you have a lot of choice (there’s even a guy who makes pizza). Breakfast was great, especially the crepes. Everything was really clean, they change towels and make the bed everyday. Very good value for money.

    We stayed one night at our travel at Douz and had been very much looking forward to the pool (main reason we booked this hotel) due to the high temperatures but unfortunately there was only a large construction area in the whole backyard of the hotel - we had been really disappointed! And the only statement of the hotel was: "it is closed and will open next week", no real excuse nor some compensation. And, if you look at the construction site and the speed of working it will no way open very soon!

    The staff was mostly quite friendly and attentive, especially some of the buffet waiters. Not much guests around but the dinner and breakfast buffet were ok. However, some more selection would have been better.

    The hotel is a bit dated and the bathroom had several issues like a sink that leaked and a shower head that was broken and sprayed water all over the bathroom.

    Sahara Douz was as expected. There are not many hotel options in the area and none that are luxury for what most would consider luxury, however I would say Sahara Douz did a great job of ensuring we were comfortable. We only stayed one night and the staff is what made the stay great.
