We were in Tunisia for a 12-day trip. This hotel was our stop on our 5-day trip called "Le fond du désert". This hotel is builted like the gorfas in the south of Tunisia. We did sleep in a berber gorfa-style room, which was really exotic. The interior-court of the hotel are beautifull with all the flowers and the decorations.... More

I loved this place. You sleep in a room dug out of the cliff. My favorite place we stayed in during out Tunisia trip.

Wouldn't have stayed here given the choice, but as many others have said there aren't many places to stay in the area. The room would have been OK after a good clean. The pool would also have been lovely after a good clean, but outside area very shabby and dirty and STANK of sewage which was visible in a big... More

This is the most expensive hotel in town, but is only ordinary. It's perfectly clean and comfortable and the food was OK, but at the price I expected better. It's an average hotel at a top (for the area) price.

The only nice thing about the hotel is the nice panoramic view from the swimming pool and the pseudo berber-styled bedrooms. Service is very lacking and the hotel is located about 10 mins' drive away from Old Matmata town, which makes you captive of the hotel as there are no other facilities around for food. The restaurant feels like a... More

The hotel is located 2km out of town and has great views over the desert. The architecture is interesting and the hotel caters almost exclusively for desert safari tourists in 4X4 vehicles. The rooms are acceptable but nothing special. The pool looks nice but needs cleaning. The restaurant is like a canteen the buffet evening meal looked ropey and we... More

This hotel has an outdoor bar/swimming pool area with a lovely view over the desert - a great place to get away from the tourist botherers in Matmata. It's expensive by Tunisian standards (66TD/person/night half-board) and appears to cater mostly for overnight tour groups. The faux-troglodite style rooms are interesting, but lack windows, which makes them very dark at night.... More

Spent one night there last april. Hotel architecture is nice and interesting. Lovely view from the hotel. Service not so friendly. Food and restaurant is "cafeteria" style. I would not reccomend this hotel for an extended stay.
