Pros:

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).

Cons:

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).

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

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

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.

Cons:

Exceptional
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Wonderful building, great experience.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Wear and tear
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.
