Iris Hotel & Thalasso

This place is very affordable and can be quite busy during the summer. The hotel is older, making it a suitable option for short stays in Djerba if you're looking to save on attractions and overall holiday expenses. It's perfect for those who plan to just eat, sleep, and relax by the pool. However, if you have high expectations, you may be disappointed. Overall, we loved our stay at the hotel. The facilities were clean, and the staff were friendly. The food was tasty, and the bedding was well-maintained. Djerba is my favorite destination, and I have visited many hotels there. I'm happy to share my experience with others.

Please don't waste your money by going to this place especially if you are traveling with children!!! This hotel was absolutely horrible. Before you pay for this hotel just know that you will be expected to pay about £50 before you get your keys! We did not have hot water for 3 days and every time we said something, no-one took notice of what we were saying until we asked the manager to give us the rest of our money for the remaining 4 days so we could book another hotel, we even emailed love holiday who were helpful and refunded us a small portion of the monies we paid, once love holiday reached out to them they moved us to another room. Another problem was that their rooms were cold and the heating did not work properly, they gave us a small heater which helped a little, but this was very stressful especially when you have a 2 year old with you on holiday. The heated pools were turned off, the spa was not open, the were no activities offered like advertised, we had to book a few excursions while we were there so that we wouldn't be sitting in the hotel room all day. We found over 30 cigarettes buds on the children's play pit, it was absolutely disgusting because I toddler accidentally stepped on one and wanted to play with it, when I reported this to reception, they did seem to care. The Hotel was filthy and never vacuumed, they only used broom on some areas. The food was ok, not the best but okay, not a lot of variety especially for breakfast. They "ran" out of milk for 2 days so we could not have hot drinks or cereal. The "night entertainment" was an absolute joke, it was just loud noise that they played until midnight, when we asked them to turn it down because we wanted to sleep, they obviously did not listen. Honestly if you advertise yourself as a family friendly hotel then surely you should try to be accommodating to people who will come to your hotel with children. I loved the island of Djerba as a whole but this horrible hotel really ruined my holiday because it caused more stressed than relaxation.

This trip was absolutely unforgettable and this hotel was beautiful. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, with excellent food and amazing drinks. The barman Borhen made our trip exceptionally good, including all front desk staff. The location is a short walking distance from the beach. We will absolutely be visiting here again.
