Houda Yasmine Marina & SPA

We stayed at Houda Yasmine for a Christmas getaway, but unfortunately it did not meet our expectations at all. The hotel is nothing like what is advertised, and the room was a real let-down. It fell far short of what I would expect from a 4-star hotel. The bedsheets were stained, and the duvet was also stained with no cover provided.

Although smoke alarms are installed, people smoke freely in the lounge with little consideration for others, making the shared areas very uncomfortable.

The dining experience improved once the crowds left, and a waiter named Gadour treated us well. The Christmas Eve dinner and entertainment were actually very good and were the highlight of our stay. Sadly, this was the only real positive. Pepitto and Freddie were friendly and entertaining.

I strongly advise not to book excursions with Mohammed at the hotel. The excursions he sells are a scam. We were charged £71 for two people for a camel ride in the mountains and village, which never happened. Do not trust him.

The cleaner entered my room without knocking, and we had to chase her for something as basic as a towel, as ours was wet.

Overall, the hotel clearly needs better management, improved staff training, and maintenance upgrades. The rooms were cold, several lights were faulty, and both the TV and telephone appeared to be purely decorative as they did not work. Another guest mentioned experiencing the same issues, so it was not just our room.

It’s a real shame, as the hotel has potential but is currently very disappointing.

It was really a horrible experience . since day one , we were shocked by the poor conditions of rooms , they're not like the photos at ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR . Really poorly equipped rooms , lack of lighting in the rooms and the hallways (it was like being in a horror movie !!!) , bad smell , lack of good internet quality , the staff was unwelcoming ,misunderstanding and unhelpful. And what's more, the price was exorbitant and exaggerated compared to the dire situation we found. It never deserves 4 stars at ALLLLLLL !!! A REAL DECEPTION !!!!!!!

That was my worst experience in my own country.. The hotel is alright the staff are great but as young guy who have a european blonde wife its a nightmare for me with the algerianas guests who are all over. They dont respect anybody around they keep looking at my blonde wife all the time and their men's have no respect for woman's and when they are in the restaurant they get the food like they never ate before.. They waste food like its nothing they dont respect the line.. And i couldn't leave my wife alone for a single minute which is crazy... If you have any european looking girl or even older woman i definitely don't recommend it.. Otherwise the staff are so polite

It’s a beautiful hotel. The location is great and the staff are friendly. I really enjoyed my holiday there. I would recommend it.

Had a brilliant twoweeks with my wife at the hotel hotel in brilliant and entertainment throughout the day and night. There is different entertainment everyday hotel is beautiful out door pool is clean bit to cold for November but the indoor poolis great 👍

Houda hotel was brilliant come away for my birthday with my husband it it a fantastic hotel I will becoming back
Entertainment was so good there is activities everyday. Restaurant nice bar brilliant 👏

Good animation team ( Pipito And dj mappa) food Is So good , room.is looks likes Nice , verry good hotel , good people , Will be miss this hotel

Definitely not 4 ⭐️ star

1) ROOM:
a) TV not working
Hairdryer not working
One bedside light not working
Shower floods the floor

b) Cleaner enters room randomly during the day; I was woken from an afternoon nap because she just entered to check my towels!

c) No cup to make tea in room; asked 3 staff members but ended up every day having to ask for a cup at the bar - not 4 Star!

d) the fruit on arrival and the 1 mini bottle of shower gel on arrival are your lot for the duration. Your room will never get a top-up.

e) room & balcony doors don‘t lock, keep your valuables with you at all times.

f) Floors are very clean but mirrors etc don’t get cleaned quite so much. Bedding also doesn’t get changed during the whole week.

2) DINING ROOM:
a) as others have pointed out, there’s a tier system where you sit, if you get a vase & folded linen napkin or just paper serviette on your table, if the table is laid for you with glasses & 1st/2nd course knives/forks or you have to hunt your own cutlery etc - don’t tip and you get nothing

b) staff will kiss your hand then ask for 5 star review without doing anything

The blue VIP bracelet is given to those guests expected to be generous tippers (probably based on what Job/earnings potential you put on the registry form at check-in). It does not get you anything extra.

Clean and confortable hotel ; Great spot to enjoy your vacation with your family , friends , great place to discover activities ...

El Houda Yasmine delivered comfort, great service, and a relaxing stay—highly recommended!”

Great time ...

Excellent food and very attentive staff. Everthing well organised. Freddie from the Animation team was fantastic. Excellent value for money

Hotel in a good location. Clean and staff very friendly.
food was good but not great.
Drinks were good.
Enjoyed the hotel and, at the price , would visit again.

Great day visiting Tunis today for the first time, such a beautiful city and was made even better with Fredi who was a great tour guide. For someone who loves to get their photograph taken in a tourist spot, Fredi knew exactly where to get the best photos! I would highly recommend going with him at any given opportunity.

The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Everyone is so pleasant and willing. The animation team Freddy and Pepito work tirelessly to bring a good atmosphere around the pool. I travelled out of season so it was quiet. The servers are lovely especially Salah and Faisal who are lovely gentleman and work so hard.

This hotel may be classed as 4 star here in Tunisia but it would be 3 star at best at home.

Food was ok. Lots of choice and I enjoyed it but a lot of English people would be disappointed with the lack of “fast food” especially if travelling with children who want burgers and fries etc. It was repetitive but honestly there were so many options I just tried something different every day.

Some of the rooms are very dated. All of them are basic and they turn off the aircon out of season (after 15 September!!! - I never heard of that before!). The sealant around the bathroom was done by a 5 year old. Could have done a better job myself. Had to change room on arrival because my room was dirty. They changed it without hesitation so all was good.

Ignore the journey from the airport. That will be an eye opener. Hammamet tourist area is clean-and perfectly safe. Get your bartering hat on and enjoy!!

I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Hauda Yasmine! Everything from start to finish exceeded my expectations.
The animation team was incredible – especially Pipito and Eva, who brought so much fun and energy to every activity. They truly made our stay unforgettable!
The food was excellent with a great variety of delicious options every day. Fresh, well-prepared, and always satisfying.
The spa services were wonderful. I enjoyed a relaxing massage that left me feeling completely refreshed and pampered. Highly recommend!
The pool area was very clean and well-maintained. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome.

Beautiful experience at yasmine.recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxed holiday .entertainment guys are amazing especially for the kids

Lovely hotel, basic rooms and food but its clean and its the staff that make the place amazing! From first arrival they've been so great and the waiters are so helpful, friendly and always topping up your drinks. The animation team are the best ive experienced in tunisa. Full of fun and dont know how the do it working those long hours. Ignore any bad reviews and make your own mind up. Definitely glad I came here

The hotel is lovely people are very friendly and you have everything plus the staff are very helpful and there's a shop 😀 x

It was great in many ways! The food was okay and the service was great. The only downside was the fly situation. In conclusion, the place was nice.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Hotel Houda Yasmin. The staff were welcoming and always ready to help with anything I needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool area was definitely the highlight — perfect for relaxing during the day. The entertainment team kept things lively with fun activities, and the beach nearby was beautiful and easy to access.

The only downside was the fly situation, especially around the outdoor dining areas. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it was noticeable at times. I hope the hotel finds a way to better manage it because everything else was fantastic.
