Admittedly, we weren't looking for this place. But after several times through the town, not being able to find the kasbahs we were looking for, we turned to our Rough Guide. We followed the signs from the centre of town, past a school and down a one late alley and into a small gated area. First a young man greeted us, rang a bell, and then Bernard appeared. He showed us a room and we thought we were in heaven! A beautiful room for four and a heater! The clincher? Wine with dinner. Bernard showed us the beautiful grounds, a heated pool, the salon and dining room. It was a shame we didn't have the time to get into the pool- it looked so inviting. Because we arrived late in the day, the hammam didn't have time to be heated, either. We arrived early for dinner, listening to nice jazz as the chef worked in the kitchen and we wrote in our journals. Bernard came in and suggested a bottle of Moroccan red wine. We started with a cauliflower soup, the main of chicken and vegetables, with a finale of stewed apples with almonds and freshly made strawberry ice cream. We had seen the strawberries being sold in the surrounding villages, so we knew they were fresh!The heater was very welcome as we had been blown across the southern roads of Morocco that day. Shower was roomy and hot.Breakfast was crumpets, bread, fruit, orange juice, tropical juice, excellent coffee, and eggs. It was a feast that saw us till dinner the next day in the Sahara! This is a place to spend at least 2 nights. Bernard has a walking map of the palmeries which I would have loved to have taken advantage of. But alas, we had a date with some dromedaries near M'Hamid.

We've driving through the town looking for a kasbah for the night. On the main road we've seen many signboards with hotels and oasis names. One of them was the Dar Qamar. The place is hidden in the old part of te village built with clay walls. It was like going back in time few hundreds years!After crossing the gate you will find an absolutely amazing, unexpected and very comfortable oasis!The rooms are clean, spacious with simple furnishings. Bathroom with shower in typical Kasbah style. Wi-fi running well. The nicest area is the beautiful garden with heated swimming pool and dinning facilities around. We had a very tasty dinner with a home grown salad accompanied by nice Moroccan white wine. We spent there only one night but the place is just unforgettable and we will definitely come back!Thanks to all the staff and greetings to the owner! It was a pleasure to be hosted in your home!

We stayed at Dar Qamar to break up a return trip to Marrakech from Merzouga in November, and we wish we had more time to spend here. The hotel appears to be down some back street, but what a place it is. Behind the walls is a beautiful pool area and gardens with peacocks. The lounge area was comfortable and there was even some Wifi if you need it. Our rooms were comfortable and the food was excellent. Like many French-run hotels you can get wine too. This was another hotel we found using GPS coordinates, but Agdz isn’t too big.

We stayed for one night on New Years Eve on route back from Erg Chegaga to Marrakech. We intended to walk around Agdz, but after several days in the desert climbing up and down dunes, the comfortable sun loungers and beds at Dar Qamar’s poolside meant we did not leave the grounds! There were plenty of things to keep the children entertained, with resident peacocks and beautiful gardens. The staff were very friendly but did not speak much English. We used a mixture of French and English to arrange meal plans for the children. Dinner was wonderful, a real feast for New Year’s Eve! I also enjoyed breakfast - there was a hob with boiling water to cook our own soft/hard boiled eggs. The room was comfortable with a heater and hot showers. The WiFi was really good and even supported a Happy New Year what’s app call to the grandparents! The WiFi was strong enough to reach the rooms too. We ended up staying for lunch at poolside on New Year’s Day before reluctantly leaving Dar Qamar! Would definitely stay again!

Just been there with our 3 kids - what a lovey place. It's in amongst the old village, much of which is falling down - it's outer walls are made of repaired mud bricks, but the rooms inside are solid. The French patron is a delight and his small staff friendly and sweet. A cosy games and drinks / cocktail room just across the courtyard from the dining room. Food was uncomplicated and EXCELLENT, with great local wine. This is not super smart; it's a small hotel in a small village, but soooo relaxing. Take time to explore the falling down kasbah and mosque and go for a walk through the palmerie with the local village kids, who are keen to chat. With peacocks and a donkey!

Night 3 of a 6 night motorcycle tour of Morocco and what a treat. The most difficult thing was finding it though. There is a very clear (and big) sign directing you to the parking...but you don't believe it because it directs you down what looks like an ally..but follow the sign and you're in for a great surprise!Through a set of doors and you are greeted by a wonderful courtyard and hosts Fanny and Bernard. If you arrive in the evening (as we did) the smells emanating from the kitchen were such that you just knew you'd picked the right stop!The staff were very friendly, the small pool was very welcoming and the rooms were spacious and clean.This is a GREAT place to build into your Moroccan tour.

Sleeping and relaxing in an ancient Ksar is a priceless experience, with one of the best Moroccan "Palmeraie" just around the corner. Very well organized with a strong local flavor. Great rooms, relaxing big swimming pool overlooking the old Kasbah, good service and nice people. One of the best Riad ever. You just pass the entrance gate and you find a little local paradise. My room (Olivier) was really fantastic !!! I strongly recommend.

We stayed at Dar Qamar following 2 nights spent in the desert. We chose this as a half-way(ish) stop back towards Marrakech for our flight home- perfect if you have your own hire car.You reach the guest house by driving down a very run-down looking narrow road- seems like you have gone wrong but you haven't. Behind a large door in a crumbling wall- Dar Qamar is an absolute paradise. A gorgeous pool surrounded by a beautiful tropical looking garden. Our room was lovely- very spacious and clean with a great hot shower- just what we needed after the desert!Dinner was served poolside which looked amazing surrounded by lanterns and candles. A glass of cold white wine and tasty lamb chops with roasted vegetables was a very welcome change to the tagine and water we had had every evening for the previous week! Breakfast was fantastic- the best of our holiday.The staff were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. If you are planning to stop in Agdz on the way to or preferably from the desert- this place is perfection.
