Bir Bou Rekba Holidays from AU$723

I had a wonderful stay! The property was clean, with spacious rooms and a great location—just a short walk to restaurants and the waterfront. It’s about 15 minutes from the airport and Sidi Bou Said, which made getting around easy. The host, Medhi, was incredibly helpful and even assisted with transportation to my next accommodation. Highly recommend for a comfortable and convenient stay in Tunis

The positives: very kind and friendly staff, well maintained gardens, clean bedrooms and tidy environment. Pleasant and well maintained path to the private beach. Good VFM. The negatives: in October none of the bar area is open after 6pm, no food available other than going into the main Carthage Thalasso hotel. It isn’t immediately clear that you can use the Carthage Thalasso facilities, that should be much more easily found. The main indoor pool area is quite tired, with a roof that leaks in the rain. The main negative is the kitchen. It’s sold as self catering apartments but the kitchen is poorly equipped. We were in a suite meant to have a double bed and a sofa bed (which wasn’t a sofa bed- more on that later); so should theoretically sleep 4 and that was how it was described. However, the kitchen equipment consisted of 2 forks, 2 knives, 2 dessert spoons, 2 small cups and saucers, 2 small tumblers, 2 small plates and 2 small dinner plates. There was no cooking utensils. There was one ancient and grubby cooking pot and one frying pan with a very wobbly handle. To be fair the fridge and freezer were new and very clean. The bed situation was odd. As mentioned it was sold as “with sofa bed”- and there was a sofa where the back cushions could be taken off to make a bed. But we had to ask for extra bedding. In the general area: There’s no public transport though there are readily available taxis. The next door Carrefour supermarket is very well stocked and handy.

Beautiful and small boutique hotel with stunning views over sidi bou said and the sea.each room has a unique design and specific name ..mine was Bizantine. The staff are so kind and welcoming. Peaceful location but still close to the village center . A real gem in Tunisia.

Staff were amazing throughout the hotel. Genuinely cared about helping or stay be as comfortable as possible, without expectations of extra tips like in the hotel we had previously stayed

Absolutely Amazing Stay at Dar El Jeld Hotel and Spa Our stay at Dar El Jeld was nothing short of exceptional. The suite was perfect—so beautifully designed and comfortable that we genuinely didn’t want to leave the hotel. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility. The staff were an absolute delight: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Their hospitality made our stay even more special. Dar El Jeld is the ideal place for anyone wanting to experience the heart of Tunis in a stunning and serene setting. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will absolutely be recommending it to others. Can’t wait to return!
