"It's in the desert, so it's nice to have a place to rest. The facilities are relatively old, but they are actually very good in the local area. The air conditioning, hot water and toilets all work normally, and there is also wifi. The breakfast is filling and the swimming pool is good for swimming. It is very convenient to set off to visit the Sahara Desert and is recommended to those who come here."

"Our stay at The Residence Douz Hotel was nothing short of magical, an experience that felt like stepping into a dream we never wanted to wake up from. Every detail was perfection. The villa was breathtaking, elegant, serene, and deeply comforting, offering a sense of peace that is so rare to find. The atmosphere of the entire place is pure luxury, yet so warm and intimate that it instantly feels like home. The cuisine was exquisite, each meal crafted with care and flavor, turning every moment at the table into a true pleasure. But what made this experience unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to Abdelbasset from the restaurant, whose professionalism and kindness made every dining experience feel personal and special. And to Jaafar, who drives the voiturette always smiling, attentive, and incredibly welcoming. Their presence added a human touch to this already perfect escape, making us feel valued, seen, and truly cared for. This is not just a hotel, it is an experience, a feeling, a memory that stays with you. We cannot wait to return. I didn’t take a lot of pictures because I was living the moment lol"

"The bungalows were very basic. The overall setting lends itself well to cultural immersion and encourages a sense of escape. You couldn't be in a better place to experience the desert. My only problem was the difficulty of getting from the bus station to the hotel at night. They failed to mention that if I wanted to walk (30 minutes), a large part of the way is in complete darkness because there is no street lighting, and it's through fields and palm trees. It can be frightening for someone unfamiliar with desert environments."

"Pro Really beautiful and peaceful setting in the Ksar Ghilane oasis, enjoy the sunset from their watchtower The room has a real bathroom, and it's quite comfy even though the shower could do with a screen so as not to flood the living space Near the centre of action if you want to do quads or camel ride, and the original source of the oasis is just down the road Con There is no WiFi, for the range they are targeting they should look into sorting that out (Starlink?) The bedsheets are an afterthought: they don't get to cover the mattress, they're rough and also not always present (pillow covers what are these??). Moreover the thick fake fur blankets tend to be full of the sand dust The food could do with some investment. Appreciate we're in the middle of the desert but nothing stops them from bringing good meat here rather than boney and fat meat.. The receptionist wants to be anywhere but there Other tips: Arrive before sunset, the road is paved but also full of sand!!"

"Although I've found people all over Tunisia to be incredibly kind and helpful, these are not the adjectives I'd use for the staff at the Hotel Sahara Douz, who seemed grumpy and not interested in addressing any of my questions. My room's AC was not functioning; and the room was filled with flies and mosquitoes, so I was reluctant to open the unscreened window for air flow. The walls were paper thin and it was impossible to get a good night's sleep as all one could hear were guests in the hallway or overhead, rearranging furniture."
