LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

Same-sex activity is criminalised — discretion essential

Local law: Article 338 Penal Code — up to 3 years prison + fine.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Keep emergency cash (USD/EUR) and two separate payment cards.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.

A complete rip-off. The rooms are very old. The bathtub was 30 years old; I woke up to a dead cockroach in my bed. The air conditioning was very weak and outdated. The breakfast was not worthy of a 5-star hotel; I've had better in 3-star establishments.

Old and poorly maintained hotel. Suite was old, with zero amenities, broken shower and dead roaches on the carpet. I would avoid this hotel.

A hotel like no other A weekend in the Château des Deys Extremely kind, professional and friendly staff: from reception, concierge, cleaning staff, swimming pool, to the typically Algiers bar.
