Un cadre magnifique et un accueil exceptionnel. Isabelle et Lotfi font tout pour que vous vous sentiez bien et c’est réussi !

Superbe maison d’hôtes avec beaucoup de caractère et d’authenticité. Un grand merci à Isabelle et Lotfi pour l’hospitalité et l’accueil. On reviendra avec grand plaisir.

Nous recherchons un logement, atypique avec du charme et de l’authenticité et nous avons eu la chance de trouver ce logement qui a répondu en tout point à nos attentes. Accueil exceptionnel, logement propre. Lotfi et Isabelle se sont montrés disponibles à l’écoute de très bons conseils. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce logement et si nous avons l’opportunité, nous reviendrons sans aucun doute.

Il n’y a aucune chose que nous n’avons pas aimé, tout était parfait.

Gerard is the perfect host - he offers a very warm welcome and excellent food. We appreciated the attention to detail both in terms of the food and the beautifully renovated property. It is a wonderful combination of the old and new.

We were truly so happy with everything-- the breakfast each morning was an amazing start to the day, Gerard really put a lot of thought into everything he served. The guesthouse itself was gorgeous, and he was really attentive to anything we needed (from booking massages in the spa room to letting us in when we locked ourselves out). It's also in an amazing area, very close to taxi stops, cafes, and La Ghriba synagogue.

Perhaps the wifi connection could have been a little better, but I think that was fixed halfway through our stay :)

Superb breakfast, great area.

Logement rénové avec le charme du traditionnel, un petit déjeuner excellent avec jus et confitures maison, du continental et une touche locale, une belle bibliothèque sur la culture de l’île et ses attractions et un propriétaire aux petits soins.

La piscine et le sauna fonctionnaient pas.

Les personnels sont très gentils et serviables :) le vibe arabesque de la maison est fantastique !

Climatiseur qui fait du bruit, on entend le bruit du route la chambre à des problèmes d’isolation, la douche n’est pas pratique

A beautiful oasis in a gem of a town. A warm welcome from Gérard the host. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing

Our stay at Dar Bibine could not have been better, and we are grateful to Gerard for the marvelous time. The building is absolutely beautiful, an exquisite and peaceful oasis with great character. Gerard was so welcoming and kind. The room was perfect and the place well-stocked with anything we might need. Breakfast was delicious and lovingly prepared. The location was ideal, right in Djerbahood and walking distance to the El Ghriba synagogue. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. Thank you immensely to Gerard and Dar Bibine. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here and hope to do so again in the future.

Amazing

Age, original features, decor. Our host prepared wonderful meals using locally sourced ingredients. There was lots of art. Property itself, an old dar, is very interesting.

Everything

Nothing - everything was perfect

A beautiful house in a great location in town. My room was comfy and quiet. Gérard was an excellent host, and I especially loved the attention to detail throughout the accommodation. Breakfast was lovely, and the selection of homemade jams was tasty and unique. No sooner had I asked Gérard how to close the door of my room quietly than he put a handle on to assist. Amazing!

Occasionally artistic design gets in the way of practicality. It was hard to wash your hands in the washbasin in the bathroom as the sink was teensy-weensy. It's a minor complaint amid a terrific stay.

Gerard is an excellent host making you feel at home and always available to assist or just have conversation. The breakfast was excellent and creative. The location in Erriadh is central for touring the island and walking Djerbahood. The house and our room were beautiful

It is a small thing, but they do not accept credit cards, so please make sure you have sufficient cash in Euro or Dinar.

Excellent food for breakfast. Very much to our taste. Nothing was too much trouble for our host. We also had dinner at Dar Bibine more evenings than we ate out, and that was excellent too. Erriadh is not on the coast, but it is easy to get anywhere on the island from there using the cheap and easily found taxis. It does have marvellous and extensive street art which kept us pleasantly occupied. The world's oldest surviving Synagogue is a short walk away and worth visiting. The local people are very friendly. The town seemed very safe and hassle-free. If you want the beach, then an option that worked for us was to take a taxi across to

We enjoyed Djerba, and felt welcome everywhere, but do remember that during Ramadan and particularly over the Eid Festival most restaurants etc are closed. The museums stayed open, and we could still travel around, but dinner in Dar Bibine was even more of a bonus than expected!

Gerard is a welcoming and thoughtful host who can offer dinner on request. Breakfasts are very good. Dar Bibine is a little haven in the village of Erriadh. Unfortunately we were there during Ramadan, not to be recommended as no restaurants open nearby. And card payments are not accepted at Dar Bibine, so some planning is required

A stunning place. Obviously a labor of love for its owner and host Gerard who applied his architect's knowledge and taste to rebuilding the structure and developing its interiors to an extremely high level. Breakfasts were excellent and I had one dinner (chef=Gerard) that was great. Room was a bit tight but otherwise excellent. Pricing very fair. In the middle of the Djerbahood area which is fun to be in. A terrific place at a very fair price.

Nothing.

Breakfast was great and Gerard, the host, was phenomenal. He treated us like a long time friend and was very helpful with whatever we needed. We even got to enjoy a special New Years eve dinner with him, friends and the other guests. We would absolutely stay again! Thanks Gerard!

We really loved staying at this place. The owner was always available to help, his special breakfasts were amazing, he was always paying attention to little details, his staff was friendly, it was quiet, and the location was central.

In room #3 the shower and toilet are together, so that might not be for everyone. It would also be great to have more flat space to put things on around the sink in #2 or somewhere in the shower to place things like soap/shampoo,

the location, the facilities, food, owner and staff! everything was great

A real tribute to Djerba and its history. The place is simply wonderful and magical!Gérard the owner has put a lot of effort to preserve and respect Djerba's heritage and his love for the island shows in every detail. He takes the time to show you the place and explain every bit of it. The guest house is divided into two distinctive decors and blend perfectly together. One is and old Djerbian home style and the other a more contemporary style. The guesthouse is located in the heart of Erriadh, a typical local neighborhood where you are surrounded by Djerbahood wall art, small shops, and restaurants. Don't hesitate to go on the roof where the view is breathtaking and the Jasmines will rejuvenate you. Special thanks to the men and women working with Gerard and help him preserve the cleanness and authenticity of the place. Everyone was very accommodating and answered all our requests positively (extra pillows etc). Also HUGE bonus points for the breakfast which had different cutlery style every day and different type of eggs so you don't get bored, and all the jams were locally made. Highly recommended if you want an exclusive and intimate stay. Definitely unforgettable.

The wifi could be tricky sometimes but that's due to the thickness of the walls. The guesthouse has different routers and you could switch between them.

Beautifully renovated Dar in the heart of Erriadh. Exquisite design details down to the tableware used for the daily breakfast. Gerard the host is extremely accommodating and relaxed. He went out of his way to assist me arranging a day trip as I am not fluent in French and was always available to help if needed. I had a beautiful room right next to the pool and spent some time relaxing in the peace and quiet. The breakfast was amazing and changed daily. Beautiful homemade condiments accompanied every meal. I ate more than I normally do and loved every bite!

Wifi in my room was unreliable but that is due to the solid construction of the Dar (thick walls). I have found this throughout Tunisia and had an eSIM so could use 4G network to stay connected if needed. There is really little to fault about this beautiful property and the staff who run it.

Lovely B&B with 5 rooms. Loved the small patio with the pool, as well as the rooftop terrace with sunbeds. Run by a caring host, who went above and beyond when he got up at 4:00 am to ensure that I would get a coffee before my early morning departure. What a service! Located in a wonderful small town, and right next to a tiny streetfood joint serving the tastiest snacks.

I really enjoyed my stay. Other travelers should note that in specific rooms, the bathroom is open-plan, so privacy is limited.

Nice Dar, welcoming staff, delicious breakfast. Good value for money. Recommended.

It is very pretty and unique with its amazing design of traditional Djerban architecture mix with modernism. The location is superb within the village of Erriadh. Had everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Nothing to dislike.

The architecture, decoration, excellent breakfast

This place is a true gem. Gerard is certainly the highlight. His hospitality was ever present and he has keenly created a unique and wonderful space. Breakfasts were wonderful and unique every morning. The rooms are all surrounding a central common area with a nice pool and chairs. There are many, many places to hang out with little patios and pockets throughout the property. The room had good AC and everything we needed. Wifi quite well, with a couple hiccups. It was easy to get cabs and essentials by walking down the street. Simply outside your door you can walk around the entire Djerbahood and explore all of the art on the streets. Highly recommended.

Onecaveat for some folks may be that - at least in our room - the bathroom and shower were integrated into the room as a whole (no door for privacy). Soundproofing was decent although definitely recommend sleeping a bit earlier - if you're a light sleeper - as you're in the centre of Erriadh.

Everything about the place and decoration. Breakfast was superb and the staff and owner were incredible on helping us

Very nice and informative host/owner. Excellent breakfast, different every day. Attentive in every detail. You get free water bottles for whole period. Appartmet and rooms are in old renovated house, keeping authentic way of living conditions. Therefore you have very basic room - don't expect stylish facilities from modern buildings. I.e. small/low doors, small windows, toilet and shower in the same room, etc. But there is plenty of space in several rooms which are available to all guests. Quiet neighbourhood. In the middle of Djerbahood where you shod be lost.

Colored lights in the central yard should be switched off during the night (we don't like any light sources while sleeping).

Amazing host and are also very beautiful. I loved my short stay there.

Our stay was excellent! Gerard is a wonderfully friendly and welcoming host. The property is beautifully designed with delightful details throughout. It’s also impeccably clean and has a very homely atmosphere.

We had a wonderful stay in Dar Bibine. Gerard created everything in the house with so much passion and love, and he was also so kind to answer all our questions and tell to us a lot about life in Djerba. The neighbourhood is also wonderful! We highly recommend to stay in Dar Bibine!

Decor and vibe were amazing, staff and owner were super hospitable and made us feel welcome. Loved breakfast and the home made jams

The toilet situation, as the toilet didnt have a door. So was unable to perform number two

Owner was very nice and accommodating and breakfast was very good. Very close proximity to all the art of Djerbahood.

The whole dar is very nicely done, the owner is very sweet man, with many stories and recommendations. Breakfast was always prepared just before our entry.

As much as al the rooms are nicely designed, some of the room facilities weren't as practical, for example there's no real door between room and washroom, the sinks are cute but once u turn the water on, it splashes everywhere because the sink is very shallow.

I had a wonderful stay at Dar Bibine in Djerba and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and affordable guest house. Here's what I loved about our experience: 1. Affordable Prices: Dar Bibine offers excellent value for money. We chose the cheapest room, which still provided direct access to the pool. 2. Delicious Breakfast: The Belgian host, Gerard, went above and beyond, serving us French toasts, eggs, homemade jams, pastries, and fresh lemonade. The variety and quality of the food were outstanding. 3. Cozy Pool: While the pool was small, it was perfect for my partner and me, often having it to ourselves. It provided a great place to relax and cool off. 4. Comfortable Beds: The comfortable beds ensured a good night's sleep, allowing us to fully enjoy our days exploring Djerba. 5. Artistic Decor: Dar Bibine's decor was a feast for the eyes, with numerous art pieces and unique utensils like knives and glasses from artists adding a special touch. 6. Convenient Location: Located in the Djerba hood, the guest house is nestled in an open-air museum-like environment. It offers easy access to the main town, airport, and beaches, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. 7. Attentive Host: Gerard, the host, was incredibly hospitable and attentive, ensuring a warm and welcoming stay. 8. Impeccable Cleanliness: The housekeeper was not only incredibly nice but also maintained the guest house in impeccable cleanliness. 9. Spa Services: Dar Bibine offers spa services. We had a fantastic massage by Dora. Her massage added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay, and it's a great option for guests seeking some pampering. Overall, Dar Bibine exceeded our expectations on every front, from affordability and comfort to hospitality and spa services. It's a hidden gem in Djerba, and I can't wait to return for another delightful stay.

Nothing. It was all great.

The traditional style of the hotel

Location - there is no blancket in room and it was hot

The location was very good Staff was very welcoming and friendly Breakfast was very good and the host talked to us every morning about specialities that he cooked for us. He also recommended good plans in the island

The room was cute, however it was relatively small with minimum space to move

Gerard, the owner is absolutely charming and in love with Djerba. He runs a lovely, modern tunisian style Dar in the middle of Djerbahood, tells stories and makes the best french toast from his grandma's receipe. The house is really cozy and we love the details. The little swimming pool is a huge relieve on hot summer days.

The only inconvinience was the air condition - not strong enough for 40+ temperature in July, but that was just a detail that didn't change the overall rate.

really stylish, Credits to Gerard for the small paradise. a nice mixture between authentic djerbian style and European contemporary decoration.

Dar Bibine is a special place, located in the middle of Djerbahood and providing everything one could possibly need to establish a home base to explore the fascinating island of Djerba.

The home is unique and comfortable, and Gerard and his staff could not have been more accommodating. Staying at their home is the kind of memory that my friend and me will hold onto for a long time.

Location was perfect, in the middle of Djerbahood, the breakfast was amazing, and the entire place is just beautifully redone. Its a tastefully redone traditional house, with an artistic touch to it. Loved walking on the rooftop, where they put some hammocks to relax.

Our room on the ground floor was a bit small, and we needed a heater, otherwise it would have been cold. The toilet and shower are in the same space as the room, without any divide. When one had to go to the toilet the other person had to leave the room...

Gerard has created a beautiful, cozy guest house in a very special location. The chill Djerba vibe completely permeates the space, and the breakfasts are great. -David

Not necessarily a negative, but be aware that some rooms may require a bit of a steep climb which could be quite hard for people with less mobility.

Amazing stay, amazing, fresh and homemade breakfast. The room was big and very comfortable. The house was big, very well decorated, I feel good and at home.

Everything was perfect. As it wasn’t the good season to swim I couldn’t try the pool :) Also, because I booked at the last minute I couldn’t use the Hammam (and massage). Yes you have a Hammam in Dar Bibine ;)

The location is perfect, in the centrum of Djerba Hood. The rooms are great! They look authentic with a modern touch! The swimming pool, the sunbeds on the rooftop are great. The breakfast was amazing! In winter the room is very cold (we were here in January), but when we asked, we got extra blankets!

The shower, toilet and the sink are in 1 small & open place in the room. It looks very modern, but the sink was not very user-friendly. We missed some fresh fruits in the breakfast. But except this, the breakfast was amazing!!

We loved our stay in this house. The breakfast was amazing.

Everything was amazing

Dar Bibine was an escape from touring Djerba. Gerard has taken extra care to make sure guests have everything they need and are happy.

nothing to do with the property but in general the doors in Djerba are low so make sure to duck so you don’t hit your head 😉
