What a special place! Sleeping in a gorgeous little cave is incredible, and then waking up to the view is just spectacular! The staff are very friendly, fun and helpful. The breakfast and especially supper is very good, it’s lovely that everyone in the hostel dines together. There are some incredible hikes one can do from the hostel too, and it’s fairly easy to get to other sites in the area from there!

An incredible place, a rare opportunity to live in a cave like the ancestral people (the Amazigh) did. Chenini is stunning and the walk over the desert plateau to Douiret and back (easy 8km each way, well signed) was the highlight of my entire trip. The food at Kenza is also awesome, as are the staff. N.b. you have to take a taxi from the bus station, I was very lucky and got one for 20Dt each way with the lovely Khaled (WhatsApp +216 22 500 869) who I highly recommend too. You're welcome!
