Hotel Dar Hi

Décor magnifique. Très bon service.

Beaucoup de pigeons qui salissent partout: piscine, transats ect…

Très bel établissement, juste au dessus de la corbeille de la palmeraie, s'intégrant parfaitement dans son environnement et soucieux de l'écologie. Personnel très disponible

El tamaño de las habitaciones

Tout était incroyable, l'accueil, les chambres, la piscine, la vue... On est immergé dans un univers extraordinaire. Le plus bel hôtel que j'ai pu visiter de toute ma vie...

Rien

Hôtel qui vaut vraiment le coup d’oeil, concept super intéressant avec un très beau design, vue incroyable sur la ville de Nefta et sa palmeraie. Très bonne nourriture ! Personnel très agréable !

L’hôtel mériterait un rafraîchissement. On dirait que ses équipements sont laissés tels que depuis sa construction en 2011 environ. Par exemple, des matelas et assises extérieures percés, parasols arrachés et pointes de métal qui dépassent sur la terrasse dangereuses, hammam vétuste avec peinture très écaillée. La propreté laissait également à désirer dans les chambres (évier bouché, matelas recouverts de sable). La piscine est agréable et certes naturelle, mais mériterait un gros coup de nettoyage, d’autant que de nombreux pigeons viennent si abrever et laissent de nombreuses fientes et des plumes. Les cartes touristiques ne sont pas à jour non plus.

Personnel très sympathique, qui nous a donné des conseil de visites. Nourriture délicieuse. Très bel endroit.

C'était parfait.

Le design et l’architecture sont incroyables. La qualité des repas servis est vraiment exceptionnelles. Le personnel est très sympa et je conseille aussi de passer par eux pour toutes les activités, excursions etc car c’est très compétitif

Pas très tentés par la piscine qui nous a semblé un peu sale. Globalement la propreté générale et l’entretien est un peu à revoir. On sent que le temps fait son œuvre et que l’hôtel mériterait un petit coup de neuf car il se dégrade petit à petit. Le mobilier est très chouette esthétiquement mais cela manque beaucoup de confort (canapés extérieurs, chambres, chaises terrasse etc..).

Fantastische Lage über der Oase mit Blick über die Corbeille und auf den Sonnenuntergang vom Zimmer aus. Der warme Thermalpool war schön. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben alle Bitten erfüllt.

Architektur und Lage des Dar Hi sind einzigartig. Wir hatten zwei wunderschöne Tage und waren begeistert, danke an das engagierte Personal.

So many good things: Lovely staff - i cannot fault any of them Excellent breakfast and dinner, honestly a feast - thank you Incredible views over the palms Architecture extremely impressive - felt like staying in a piece of art Suite was v cool and huge Best massages of our lives, genuinely! I feel like it would be an exceptional venue for a yoga retreat which I know they run Sooo many good things which is why the downsides are so frustrating

1 While impressive architectural, it felt like it had been designed to look cool but was missing some basics eg little shade over the pool areas, the sofas were all super uncomfortable material, the chairs outside our room collapsed to sit on and only had a view of a wall, plug sockets and light switches out of reach of bed, overflowing shower, massive uncomfortable branded cushions on the beds instead of normal pillows etc. The architect seemed more focussed on being photograph-able and less on being usable. 2 Pool was out of use as they were refilling it with boiling hot water - this was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel so was v frustrating and it wasnt communicated until we asked why it was half full and too hot to touch. We were the only guests there so maybe that was why they chose then but was a huge shame 3 We needed some communication beforehand or on arrival to tell us about what was on offer eg how to use the hammam (we never worked it out and everything looked dingy and out of use, again another reason we booked this hotel), how to book massages (this we did get on asking at least), about the spaces available etc 4 The main reason I didnt rate this higher was that it felt like a European hotel plonked on the edge of a Tunisian town with no engagement with the town. I've stayed in other eco resorts in the Middle East where they were super careful about how it benefitted the area eg by having really clearly advertised walking tours by locals, a programme of activities to choose from in advance like cooking classes, information about the town, etc. This felt like a castle closed to its actual surroundings (which I'm sure many people like about this place... but not for us) Unless some of the basics were tweaked (I dont think it would take much for the owners), I'd instead recommend to choose a local-owned dar or spend an extra night somewhere fancy but less pretentious like Dar Natascha in Tozeur

La chambre et la vue. La nourriture et l’accueil.

La piscine eau de source chaude trop chaude et semble pej hygiénique

Die Anlage ist etwas Besonderes. Ein toller Ausblick auf Nefta, Thermal-Pool am Dach, viele einladende Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten, eine Sunset-Bar und sehr höfliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Kurz nach unserer Ankunft wurde auf Wunsch ein Geländewagen mit Fahrer organisiert, der uns noch vor Sonnenuntergang zum Star Wars Drehort von Lars Homestead gebracht hat. Für ein bis zwei Nächte absolut empfehlenswert (sonst zu teuer).

Das Bett hat laut geknarrt und es war eine Doppelmatratze, wodurch man sich gegenseitig immer wieder aufgeweckt hat. Da die Dusche im Zimmer keine Tür hat, war es nach dem Duschen sehr kalt und es hat in der Nacht unangenehm aus dem Abfluss gerochen (im Zimmer).

simply everything!!!!!

Le petit déjeuner était très moyen

le hammam n'était pas assez chaud et la température de l'eau de la piscine insupportable

Das Design, die Lage, die Ruhe, der Ausblick!

Die Zimmer riechen nach Feuchtigkeit. Das Hotel bräuchte einen neuen Anstrich und etwas mehr Ablagefläche in den Zimmern. Sonst toll!

Le personnel est avenant et au petit soin.

La vista del atardecer y el oasis

Era temporada baja y estaba casi cerrado

I loved the architecture! I like Matali Crasset design. The place is potentially great and it needs to be supported!

Amazing design, spacious rooms, views, service and overall experience.

Everything close early in the night.

A unique experience, the view, the rooms and hotel design were amazing

Amazing location and view. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast and dinner were good. The pool with hot mineral spring water is really nice. Rooms are huge.

Rooms were not perfectly clean. The design of the rooms is creative but not always practical. The sanitary smells in the whole room

Varied breakfast buffet, very attentive staff, delicious four-course dinner, spacious rooms, natural thermal pool, spectacular views. Convivial atmosphere with large communal spaces and opportunities for interaction with fellow travelers (e.g. movie nights, fireplace etc.). Locally sourced building materials, tableware and food. Focus on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism,

Dar Hi was easily one of the best places we've stayed -- beautiful facilities, delicious organic food (both dinner and breakfast was included), peaceful venue overlooking the palms, interesting architecture, kind staff (we received great recommendations and one staff member helped us find a great tour), and the pool which was warmed by natural springs was so fun to swim in. It was easy to tour the Star Wars site, the medina, and oases in the desert from this Dar.

The one place for improvement is in the cleanliness of the pool, which did have some algae on the cement, but didn't stop us from swimming.

Dar Hi is an exceptional building located on an exceptional site overlooking a courbeil/valley of palm trees and the small town of Nefta. It is a stark architectural proposition that aims to redefine a hotel stay as contributing to and reflecting community life. Whether it succeeds in doing so is difficult to establish. We were the only guests in the hotel. It is however a great ambition. The staff was very welcoming and kind. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with fresh fruit, pancakes, cheese, eggs etc. The evening dinner simple, fresh and tasteful. It was the beginning of December and the temperature was a bit too cold to use the outside pool. The communal spaces have exceptional views and so have the rooms. My husband very much liked reading while lying on a lounge bed overlooking the courbeil. We both liked sitting in front of the open fire in the communal area. the bed was comfortable and the shower great. We think it is great for small group stays while exploring the region.

Would we have come here if we had not been recommended the place by friends, I am not sure. We walked through the courbeil and felt that it was rather badly taken care off. This is not a responsibility of Dar Hi, but it shows that the overall ambition to contribute to the community may not be met with equal enthusiasm. We were not sure what the attractions in the region were, but then we were not there to go on any of the desert trips and just took a few walks through the town. But for those interested in architecture this is definitely a treat.

The original design makes this a super unique hotel with a beautiful view of the palm grove below. Meals provided were simple but delicious/traditional, and coffee machine in common area was a bonus. Staff were very friendly and spoke ENG.

Considering the high price point, I would say the hotel and board is no longer worth it. I would stay elsewhere. The hotel is showing serious signs of wear and tear and needs an upgrade/ refurb to remain value for money. Outdoor cushions, interiors, rooms (e.g sinks in bathroom did not drain), pool all look dated and unclean, hammam was unusable and smelt of mould. The checkout on Booking says 12-1pm but it’s 12pm… Lastly, their card machine didn’t work (which for this price point is unacceptable) with three different bank cards, so I was escorted from ATM to ATM which felt slightly uncomfortable.

Loved the location, the views, design of hotel and food

Nothing. Just make sure you tell of any dietary requirements in advance

The view and architecture

1. The room door could not be closed properly. 2. Multiple lamps in the room were defective, leaving the room poorly lit. 3. While there were bathrobes for children, there were none available for adults. 4. The rooms had a pervasive and unpleasant odor resembling sewage. 5. The pool was in a deplorable state, filled with mud and moss, indicating a severe lack of maintenance. 6. The hammam was unclean and emitted a moldy smell. The ceiling was damaged and peeling. 7. The terrace was noticeably less well-maintained compared to our last visit. 8. The cushions and sunbeds were heavily soiled, indicating a lack of proper cleaning. 9. The pots of the plants were damaged and in disrepair.

Very cool property (and proud of itself, as the binder in the rooms tells you). Neat day beds along full size windows overlooking the valley oasis. Enjoyed the dinner.

This property must have been amazing when it was built and fully maintained, but is going to seed a bit. Expensive for what remains. Water runs around the property and into the hot (hot) pool, but all full of algae. Breakfast was very modest.

One of the nicest and most interesting hotels that I had a pleasure to visit. I loved the architecture and design of every part - from rooms and furniture to pool and hammam. The staff was very friendly and helpful with everything. The views are breathtaking. The music choice amazing. Would love to come back again.

The only thing I would improve would be the food. Breakfasts were good, but dinners totally not worth the money. Getting a bit of dry couscous and a couple of pieces of grilled vegetables and a plain banana for dessert for 16€ is quite a joke looking at other places in Tunisia, where you can get amazing food for less than half of this price. The other night we got pieces of fish, which was literally the worst that I had - unedible for humans, only cats seemed to be happy. Taking into account how great this place is, it’s really a shame to serve such a bad quality food.

Dar Hi was a huge surprise. I haven't seen many places like this and the architect of the hotel deserves a big award. Incredible views of the city, gorgeous interior, really excellent cuisine and all this complemented by a really attentive staff. The icing on the cake is the hammam and heated pool. I regret that we could not stay more than one night.

Don't be put off by a slightly more complicated arrival - finding a hotel is a bit of an adventure. But that just adds to the experience.

Central location for the movie filming locations that we wanted to see. The staff was very attentive to our needs and the food was excellent.

Finding the front entrance was a little challenging since it was down a narrow street.

Amazing facilities, unparalleled views/ architecture, staff are incredibly welcoming and warm.

I think there is great room for improvement in terms of food offering. The culinary culture of the region is super rich and that is unfortunately not fully reflected on the breakfast/ dinner menus. During our stay, only one type of rosé/ red wine and local beer were available to drink. The other potential improvement is the pool. Although I understand that the water cannot be changed/ filtered as frequently since it’s a natural spring, I still think the pool floor should still be cleaned from algae. It was a bit gross/ slippery.

amazing hotel in a superb location, highly reccomend!

nothing

Staff is really friendly. Dinner is tasty. Location is great.

You should use local homemade bread for breakfast

Great architecture and really lovely staff. The food was excellent !

Unique architecture, awesome view over the oasis, very welcoming amd friendly staff.

The hamam was not as hot as it should be.

The view was stunning. Dinner was good.

Be careful with the drinks prices, "apparently" they don't have a menu with the price list so they charge whatever they want. I had a bad experience because I was told one price at the beginning, and at the end of my stay I was charged double. The receptionist just said he forgot the prices. The room had an awesome view but unfortunately, the windows were so dirty. In my opinion is not worth the money.

Dar Hi is located in a wonderful place. The staff is attentive, food is great. All in all a great experience. Can't wait to come back.

The place is very unique, really comfortable/luxurious and hospitable. Just a great stay overall
