- Nathalie (10/5): COnditions optimales pour être bien pour travailler - Grande disponibilité et gentillesse de tout le personnel. Emplacement idéal pour en profiter même si nous n'avons pas eu de chance avec le temps rien
- Monia (9/5): - The place has a very peaceful atmosphere with great views. The staff were very friendly and provided helpful service during our stay.
- KIMIA (8/5): -
- Chadli (8/5): - Le personnel est souriant, rien à dire sur l'ensemble, tout était parfait et comme sur les photos, les petits déjeuners étaient bons... Un petit soucis, dans le descriptif de la chambre c'est écrit vue sur la mer, ce n'est pas vrai, en effet les terrasses sont à prendre le souffle vue sur la mer mais les chambres ne le sont pas, donc si vous voulez une fenêtre sur votre chambre vue sur mer ce n'est pas possible
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Gianluigi (9/5): Un petit weekend qui deviens une vraie vacance. - Endroit magnifique, reposant. Petit dejeuner encroyable.
La structure est dans on jus et cela en fait son originalité . Une vrai masion d'hote typique si vous voulez profiter pour ralentir et rever de quelque jour exotique dans un petit coin de paradis.
- Tiffany (9/5): Pretty, quaint spot with beautiful terrace - beautiful terrace on top. my room with a view. nice breakfast (but limited options for my food allergies) Only person who spoke English was not around often. So when she is, get your stuff done!
- SHO (9/5): Repetiremos -
- Luxembourger (9/5): - Isolation
- Ridha (9/5): - L'emplacement la serviabilité le cadre authentique le petit déjeuner la vue sur la terrasse et de la chambre Petit bémol manque de chaussons de bain surtout que le sol est fait de carrelage
- Houri (2/5): - La t.v était en panne .pas de balcon au chambre . Manque d'enseign pour arriver Les personnelle sont poli
- Khaled (8/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - ❤️ ❤️
- Leonora (10/5): Linda estancia - El desayuno muy rico, cada día con algo diferente y especial. Variado y el café muy bueno también. La ubicación es muy buena y con vistas preciosas. La terraza está también muy bonita.
- Irshaid (9/5): Nice stay with amazing view and very helpfull staff - The location and the staff The internet
- Laura (8/5): Boa - A proprietária super simpática e o pequeno almoço Quartos com talvez pouca isolação sonora
- Adnane (8/5): Établissement magnifique accueil et suivi sont abscent - C’est très beau poem placé, maniaque maison bien décoré avec soin. L’accueil n’était pas de tout à la hauteur du l’établissement je ne sais pas qui m’a accueilli ( réceptionniste, femme de ménage) pas chaleureux et très confus pas de de TPE pour payer il faut descendre loin pour retirer de l’argent. J’aurais aimé être averti. Pas de petit déjeuner à importer bien que je l’avais demandé en arrivant. Bref le personnel n’est pas formé pour la partie accueil et hospitality.
- thomas (9/5): -
- Antoun (10/5): Amazing and charming stay - The location is amazing and rooms are so well equipped and very charming. The view from the terrace especially during the sunset is breathtaking. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful. The breakfast is home made
- Simona (1/5): Chose a different location - Before booking I liked the location and facilities I arrived at the location and the room that was on my booking was not available. The room was supposed to be with private pool , sea view. The only guy available at the location told me that I can see a different room . Was very bad. Very small room. The sea view was somewhere in the corner of the window. The private pool missing. The smell of mold very strong. The guy from the location called a woman from management ( or something) that did nothing and was also with atitudine. I recived the contact of the owner and I asked to cancel the booking. After 2 days he did it with the reason: NO SHOW. ( a disgusting lie ) Zero professionalism.
- Frederique (9/5): - L'accueil du personnel, le lieu très agréable et la situation dans Sidi Bou Saïd La piscine ne fonctionnait pas
- Jackeline (7/5): Hotel está bien limpio con buen desayuno, ubicación que cuesta acceder y está junto al cementerio. No recomiendo llevar - Es un hotel cómodo, ubicada en la parte alta del pueblo, si subes al terrado puedes ver la puesta del sol. El desayuno está bastante bueno y el hotel limpio. Puede que no tenga importancia para algunos pero está junto al cementerio, la ubicación para subir con maletas en un poco pesado, no recomiendo llevar cosas de valor, no tienen caja fuerte y se me perdió un anillo de oro que dejé en la habitación, lo avisé pero se desentendieron.
- Seljeseth (9/5): - Veldig bra beliggenhet og frokost Bassenget på taket var under oppussing
- Rita (8/5): -
- Ines (10/5): - Sublime hôtel, grande chambre propre avec tout le nécessaire (gel douche, shampoing), lit et oreillers confortables, très belle déco, petit déjeuner copieux (fruits, cake, omelette, viennoiseries...), personnel accueillant et chaleureux, rooftop sublime avec vue imprenable sur la mer
nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
- Patrick (8/5): Siamo stati bene. - Siamo stati accolti con cordialità. Le signore che lavorano presso la struttura sono molto gentili e disponibili. Ottima colazione. Letti comodi. Posizione confortevole sia per il centro di Sidi Bou Said che per visitare i dintorni. La piscina e la terrazza non rispecchiano esattamente quanto mostrato in foto.
- Hamed (1/5): - Nothing Everything,it’s very expensive and the rooms were very small
- Morgane (8/5): Idéal à sidi bou Said - L’emplacement était incroyable Le bruit des travaux même les jours fériés
- Alessia (10/5): - Ottima accoglienza. Camera con tutto il necessario. Molto pulita e curata.
La colazione era ricca e varia.
Dar Fatma è nel centro di Sidi Bou Said. Abbiamo raggiunto Cartagine a piedi senza problemi. La piccola terrazza ha una bellissima vista sul golfo di Tunisi.
Shlama è stata meravigliosa. Super disponibile, attenta ad ogni nostra esigenza e sempre gentilissima. Grazie di cuore!
- Mina (8/5): It was clean and had nice equipment. Not recommended to get a room on the ground floor at all. - It was clean and cute. The room was warm. I liked that they put some sweets and tea for the welcome The room was on the ground floor opening right into the courtyard where they serve breakfast. So it was noisy (after 9 am I could not sleep), and it was not possible to open the windows to get a bit of natural light or air because of the privacy. The shower was with an open ceiling and didn't have any ventilation. Also, the wall between the bathroom and the room was not full height so after taking shower the steam was going into the whole room. We even asked for another room but there was no reception, only a person (as a security I guess) who said I don't know. He did not even know English and the communication was through Google Translate.
- Nada (8/5): -
- Nagi (10/5): Staff food and room were all great - Everything Nothing
- Nagi (10/5): Loved everything about it … had a great time - Everything Nothing
- Alexandre (10/5): Très belle expérience - Super très bon accueil personnel disponible, localisation parfaite et une vue 😍
- Eva (9/5): -
- Melody (10/5): -
- Ali (10/5): -
- Claus (9/5): - Sehr gutes Frühstück originell und die Lage
- Aurelie (9/5): Excellent ! - La situation, la propreté, la literie, le petit déjeuner, la gentillesse du personel. Rien !
- Monique (10/5): -
- ismahan (6/5): Authentique mais aurait préféré plus de propreté dans les parties communes - Le personnel serviable Les meubles dans la cours étaient remplis de poussières, la chasse d’eau des toilettes ne fonctionnait pas tout le temps
- Rapsodie (10/5): - Tout!
L'emplacement parfait, calme et à la fois proche ..
La vue depuis la terrasse
La décoration
La chambre spacieuse avec une très belle vue
Excellent petit déjeuner
Et surtout la gentillesse et le professionnalisme de toute l'équipe.. Rien
- paolo (9/5): - Camera, posizione e la terrazza (impagabile) Wi-Fi
- Florence (9/5): - Un merveilleux séjour sous le signe de la beauté, du calme, de la générosité, du confort, de la gourmandise du petit déjeuner, d'une situation idéale en hauteur du village avec vue exceptionnelle !
- Cédric (8/5): Un séjour romantique aux petits soins - La diversité des petits déjeuners faits maison avec des produits frais et locaux, la propreté, la réactivité de la responsable de l’établissement, les conseils touristiques, le service restauration de nuit. Il n’était pas loin du marché et de la place touristique principale de sidi bousaid. L’insonorisation avec le bruit entre les chambres et l’extérieur avec le passage des touristes, la présence de bruit régulier dû aux travaux de rénovation à l’extérieur de l’établissement.
- Anne (10/5): -
- Baptiste (10/5): -
- Dominik (9/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Great stay! The smell of the hotel is so beautiful! - Beautiful smell in all the property, the staff is lovely! Very clean I couldn’t figure out how to make the shower work
- Baidaoui (9/5): Une belle semaine - L établissement magnifique, très propre, le personnel très accueillant , très bon petit déjeuner, nous avons passé une excellente semaine Merci bcp Rien
- Jérôme (10/5): Très belle demeure, séjour dépaysant et chaleureux - Cet établissement est niché dans une belle maison traditionnelle de Sidi Bou Saïd, une superbe porte peinte en bleue vous y accueille donc. Patio, mosaïque, carrelage, terrasse avec vue sur mer et la ville.
Le confort de la chambre vous plonge dans une belle ambiance orientale.
Une petite attention particulière et discrète a été très appréciée.
Le petit-déjeuner est très copieux et raffiné.
La fleur d’oranger est omniprésente dans l’établissement. Tout est parfait.
- Philippe (10/5): Très bon séjour dans une belle demeure authentique. - Très bon emplacement au sommet du village (à éviter pour les PMR). Charme et authenticité de la maison. Petite piscine sur la terrasse et vue panoramique; petits déjeuners et personnel prévenant.
- Frédéric (10/5): -
- MASSON (9/5): Lieu incroyable ! - Incroyable petit déjeuné, un très bel accueil. Cadre incroyable Il manquerait juste un film occultant dans la salle de bain
- Kaveh (8/5): - Nice staff
- ENAS (8/5): - Everything from the reception and Salwa she was so kind and helpful and made us amazing breakfast , location is near center and main souk only 4 minutes walk
- LAURENCE (10/5): Nous avions réservé l'ensembles des chambres ce qui a fait que nous nous approprié l'endroit. - L'esprit du lieu.
- Maria Cristina (8/5): -
- laurent (10/5): Dar Fatma à faire et à refaire. - Cadre, déco très épurée, un véritable havre de paix. Salwa qui s'est occupée de nous au petit déjeuner à été aux petits soins, souriante et bienveillante. La télé avec pléthore de chaînes allemandes. Mais ce n'est que secondaire
- Adnan (5/5): - The location was OK, even though you have to climb up the hill, but it was ok because we are fit. The problem was at first to find it because Noone there from the local people didn't know where it is. The rooms were tidy and the breakfast was great. Nobody in the hotel spoke English, not even a little bit. They throw away all our food that we bought and left in room (like the pizza).
The worst was that we had to pay taxes for staying (about 30€) even though we booked through Booking app and the price was not the same as promised.
- Izabela (10/5): Sehr schön! - Geschmackvolle Einrichtung - sehr schön! Anreise mit Koffern etwas schwierig!
- Jason (10/5): Parfait pour une nuit ou deux au coeur de Sidi Bou Said - Emplacement parfait pour une nuit à Sidi Bou Said. La dame qui nous a accueilli à était adorable et serviable. Ce n'est pas vraiment un piscine.
- Iman (10/5): Värt och hela huset är en upplevelse. Rekommenderar det starkt. Jag kommer igen ! - Allt! Läget, nära till det mesta, stråket och caféer samt den fina utsikten på baksidan av hotellet. Allt var perfekt- hade velat bara att de hade en shattafi så vi som ber kan underlätta för oss. De lägger inte vattenflaska i rummet, det trodde jag ingick- fick endast vattenflaska första natten. Vet ej om det var ett miss.
- Ramzi (10/5): Top - Tout , personnels, la vu , la chambre , le petit déjeuner
- Zaineb (8/5): séjour agréable - le petit déjeuner était délicieux, l'emplacement de la maison d'hôtes est juste magnifique.
la vue sur le toit était splendide surtout au moment du coucher.
Maison plutôt calme, réglo et le personnelle étaient très gentille. la chambre était un peu trop petite
la cabine de douche petite aussi
et la piscine sur le toit etait très très petite et un peu mal entretenu aussi.
- Barde (8/5): -
- Najah (8/5): -
- Dorothée (9/5): -
- Sergio (9/5): Hotel amb caràcter i encant - Situació a Sidi Bou Said i atenció personalitzada Piscina petita, els coloms acostumen a utilitzar-la d’abreuvador i a embrutar-la
- Eisa (5/5): -
- Jesus (9/5): Muy buen alojamiento - La ubicación , el desayuno y la buena atención del personal .
Nos hicieron el favor de guardarnos el equipaje y hacer uso de las instalaciones el día de salida . En la azotea podría haber más zona de sombra
- CLAUDINE (8/5): Une adresse en vue ! - L'emplacement de la maison d'hôtes ainsi que la vue sont exceptionnels. Le coin est calme et reposant . On peut garer sa voiture assez près de l'hôtel dans la mesure où l'hôtesse nous fournit une carte de stationnement. C'est une maison d'hôtes difficile à trouver.Il faudrait des signalisations supplémentaires.
- Palwasha (7/5): Cleaniness aside, it’s overpriced and doesn’t justify the high price tag! - The room itself was very clean including the bathrooms. Loved the terrace view even though it was overlooking a graveyard (which I was already aware of after reading the reviews so wasn’t a big shock). 1. Lack of Basic Amenities: As a Muslim-majority country, I was genuinely surprised to find no water facilities in the toilet, which made things quite inconvenient. Additionally, the bathroom lacked shelves and proper lighting.
2. Language Barrier: While the staff were friendly and eager to help, none of them spoke any English. I understand that Arabic and French are the main languages in Tunisia, but for a hotel catering to international guests, having at least one English speaking staff member is essential. Communication became a real challenge, I often had to rely on Google Translate or gestures and sometimes gave up asking for things altogether.
3. Poor Breakfast: The breakfast offering was very basic, a few cut fruits, toast and lemon juice.
4. Hotel Location: The hotel is located in a steep alley where taxis can’t reach the door. This became a hassle, especially when carrying shopping or luggage. At night, the alley had stray dogs roaming which made us feel unsafe walking back.
5. Inconsistent Wifi: The wifi in the room was unreliable and frequently disconnected, which was frustrating when trying to plan our day or stay connected.
- Francisca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anne (10/5): Perfect to experience Sidi Bou Said while coming back to a peaceful and beautiful place! - Great location with amazing views and staff
- Vlad (10/5): - Wonderful sunrise from the roof garden, and beautiful swimming pool.
- Maria (8/5): ENJOYABLE, A bit overpriced but enjoyable. - NICE place, clean and the staff was friendly The arrival was not so good, as the manager was absent but compensated by her friendly approach the day after.
serving only breakfast would be nice to have some crackers or simple food available.
- Fatemeh (1/5): Terrible - Just accessibility to Sidi bu Saeid No internet and primary facilities
- Fahad (7/5): Good - The place is good, the staff is helpful. Near everywhere. the breakfast is very poor. They don’t change the towels! They just clean the room. The toilet is not equipped with water !
- Pavlos (7/5): With few imrovements can be a great place to stay - View, quiteness, friendly environment, location Breakfast, no room refrigerator, small room
- Sobia (5/5): Beautiful Location, But Disappointing Experience - The property is in a great location, nestled in the charming streets of Sidi Bou Said, and the rooms themselves were comfortable and nicely decorated.
However, there are some important things to note. The hotel is located right next to a cemetery which is the first thing you see when you go up to the terrace. Unfortunately, several aspects of our stay fell short. The staff was not very welcoming or helpful, and the customer service overall was lacking. Breakfast was very basic and not up to standard, and the internet connection was unreliable throughout our stay.
Considering the price we paid, we expected a much better experience. While the setting has potential, it did not offer good value for money.
- Yassin (2/5): - There’s not deserve even cheapest hotel on the world. There no light toilet. Smell very bad. No Tv. The building under renovation. Breakfast forget it. Reception staf doesn’t speak English or Arabic, only broke France. No information guide you about hotel. No exit fire. I paid to them 135 pounds only more then price a one night. I go booked another hotel in city Tunis near Habib Bourguiba. I will recommend you anyone don’t go please.
- takashi (10/5): - とても素晴らしいホスピタリティの中
快適に過ごせました。

その時はうるさく感じます。
- Aspasia (7/5): Nice hotel overall in a very good and quite location. - Great location with nice view, very friendly staff. Quite noisy during breakfast. Attack from winged cockroaches in one of the rooms.
- William (10/5): - Good healthy breakfast
- Aspasia (7/5): Good - Quiet place with veey nice view, clean rooms, rich breakfast and very helpfull staff. Unfortunately, there was an attack of winged cockroaches in one of our rooms.
- Jacinta (4/5): Disappointing -
- What (9/5): Superb -
- Hazim (8/5): Very good -
- Mirella (7/5): Good - The hotel is pretty and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional. However, the room was quite small and not very well isolated. Because of this it was pretty cold when it was windy. Our room had a view over the cemetery, which is not a big deal but did make the atmosphere a bit less good. Staff was very friendly.
- Mitsunori (7/5): the hotel to stay at for a spectacular view - The location of the hotel was very good. It was located at the highest point in the city, so it was nice to be able to see all the way to the ocean from the rooftop. Breakfast was also delicious. I stayed for 2 consecutive nights, but the room was not cleaned or towels changed during that time. Even if there were house rules, there was no explanation of them. (After I noticed that, I asked for a change of towels and they prepared them.)
- Annika (9/5): Superb -
- Erzsebet (8/5): Very good - The breakfast is healthy, perfectly meets the expectations. The cold days.
- Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ali (10/5): Great place to stay in sidi Abu said - The location was great . Very scenic. The room was cosy and comfortable.we had very good breakfast. The host was very kind and helpful.highly recommended. Definitely will comeback .
- Burcum (4/5): Dissapointing - Stuff was friendly but I only went there to have breajfast with my colleagues because I couldnt stay there although they confirmed my stay till the kast minute then said they didnt have room for me They kept me uninformed till last minute that there was no toom there for me. It looked they reserved a room for me but said they were out of room when I eas there at the reception. When I asked how this could be possible they said this wasa oroblem booking.com caused.
