A little smalll, but this is part of the traditional element.

Amazing location inside the desert and very friendly and kind host. And also a great garden

The house is just amazing. It is literally at the edge of the village where the desert starts. The owner is very friendly and helpful with everything. Overall the stay was such an experience both for us and the children!

A special place, really at the door of the desert. Peaceful and beautiful. The owner was there for us at any moment, thank you! شكراً!

While we did get an email that was to help us find it- it neglected to say that there are no signs with the hotel name- nothing to indicate you have arrived. It is past a number of broken and empty buildings and down a sandy road on which you needed to take a short detour- so it took awhile to find and we had to ask someone down the road to help. The location is part of the charm- but more specific help would have been nice! WiFi worked in the breakfast area- not at all in our room

Quiet location, unique room and setting. Friendly staff!

Nothing to note here.

We loved our stay at Grand Sud, la maison de sable. The owner, Mohammed, is a very kind host and we felt immediately like home. We enjoyed the calmness of the space, the great view of the dessert and the starry night sky, the beautiful breakfast in the morning. We will definitely come back!!!

Nothing. It was perfect!

Loved everything at this property. It’s charming and very comfortable with the most ideal host. Breakfast was also delicious!

As others have mentioned, the booking.com location is wrong - why not get it fixed? Also google maps does not know the difference between sandy tracks and roads, and the owner met us at the Cinderella Camping to direct us there. Why not some signposts, or at least a detailed map in advance? It would save some bother.

This place is defined by its location on the edge of the desert. The room was functional, sparcely decorated, with surprisingly good a/c and wifi. The bathroom was rather crude. The breakfast was good and served at 7 a.m. to fit in with the 4.30-6.30 a.m. camel ride. The owner was charming (he got up to make sure we got on the camels at 4.30 a.m.) There are two camels to pet (though those were not the ones we rode).

Maybe some fruit at the breaksfast?

The place seems wonderful to me; it is truly in the desert. I didn't have high expectations for this place and I was greatly surprised. It is a place that has little, but many details if you really observe. The room I stayed in had everything, it was clean, and it had great decoration. Mohamed (I’m not sure if I’m spelling his name correctly) was excellent, he helped us with some activities in the desert, and he is a very friendly person. Additionally, there are two ducks and a rooster that brightened my visit. The breakfast was simple.

It was a lovely stay, the location is isolated and quiet, the last house before the desert, so to some it s a good thing, to others is not. We enjoyed beeing close to nature. Mohamed is a lovely host and ha can arrange private camel rides and 4x4 in the desert at very good prices. We did both and loved it and I recomend you do the same, the experience is really really good.

The energy of the place and particularly of the host was lovely. I truly enjoyed my chats with Mohammed as we discussed our views about the desert, the country, life... (Merci Mohammed!) Come here for a different experience to a hotel and still with more than enough comforts. You can arrange excursions with him, all just easy. We went on a dromedary ride in the late afternoon, it was a very relaxing time. The property is located at the very end of the inhabited areas before the Sahara, so there's only the desert around you, and it's easy to move around in your own car or by taxi (5-10 minutes to Douz). All positives.

Grand Sud is at the edge of the Sahara! Probably one of the last homes before you get to Algeria! The location is wonderful. The host is so warm, welcoming, and kind that he makes the stay even better. Plus, if you want to go camping in the desert by camel he will arrange it all for you easily and affordably. So incredible to leave by camel from the hotel into the desert. A car (we had two wheel drive no problem to get here) is probably essential since town is 12-15 minutes driving. The sunset from the upper patio is beautiful over the date palms. Stay here.

Amazing little spot on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Perfect for anyone looking to escape society and get away into wide open spaces. Mohamed the host was extremely friendly and hospitable, and helped organize a 2 day camel ride into the Saharan dunes. The trip was incredible and our guide Mossem went out of his way to make the experience memorable, cooking us delicious traditional food and even keeping us dry during an unexpected thunderstorm. We had a fantastic stay!

Stayed in March 2024

Breakfast consisted mainly of sweet things. Noisy air conditioner (start and shut down, not working). It was not easy to find location.

Host was kind and helpful, Mohammed organized for us 4WD ride to the desert. Quite and nice location.

The place is a bit far from the centrum, so you need to organize transport to go there

Excellent place at the edge of the desert. The owner is treating every detail of the whole house in a traditional style. He even made me a coffee at 5:30 AM on my departure!

Everything was fine

A lovely place to stay. The host is a friendly and nice person. I would come here again!!!

This was the second time we booked Grand Sud, la maison de sable. The location is excellent with amazing views over the dunes and Pal trees. Mohammed is a very nice and helpful person he arranged for us a tour in the Sahara. We had a wonderful experience

It was a beautiful setting, great atmosphere and a clean hut. Accommodating and welcoming staff.

It’s very difficult to find the place. Google shows it wrong. And you need to drive through a sand road to get there. Internet is available only at the dining room. The price seems a bit too expensive for the quality.

It is a house in the desert. Behind it there’s literally nothing, only dunes of Sahara. The owner, although doesn’t speak well in English, was very helpful and friendly and organized and offroad trip on next day morning (like very early morning). You’ll fall in love with a local dog and camels. They belong to the owner.

It was a bit difficult to find.. just trust Google Map even if there is not a clear path and no signals

The room is well decorated, and there is a nice garden. This is the closest location to the desert that you can find! The owner helped us organize a two days tour to the desert with camels and a guide: it was an amazing experience!

Stayed in November 2023

Very hard and uncomfortable mattress. The bathroom is quite small.

Nice desert setting. It's the last house before Sahara. Clean. Mohammed was very kind. Decent breakfast, but only sweet stuff.
