    The hotel’s restaurant was super small and not very pleasant. It offers takeaway food and daily specials at very low prices. We ordered three daily specials and one pizza. The person who ate the pizza and the zebu dish had stomach issues right away, and I ate the duck dish and ended up with diarrhea for three days. I wouldn't recommend eating at this restaurant. Additionally, on Booking.com, it showed that we could pay for the hotel with a credit card, but this option wasn’t available when we arrived. However, you can pay in Ariary (the local currency), as well as in Euros or Dollars.

    We had a huge room with two double beds and a very large balcony. The Wi-Fi was good, and the staff were very helpful. The bathroom was a bit small and not as pleasant as the room, but it wasn’t bad. Overall, the staff were very helpful. In the morning, we could observe the movement in the street and the local life. The nearest beach isn’t touristy, which gave it a more authentic vibe.

    ​I want to thank Olivia and Ronald at the reception. They were both very kind and efficient. ​Olivia especially helped me with the Tsingy tour. She provided detailed assistance with the travel itinerary and expenses, went with me to buy Tsingy tickets, and helped me with the money transfer when the reserved accommodation required some prepayment. She also took me to a store to buy water in Morondava, saying that it would be more expensive to buy it at the tourist sites. Thanks to the driver Heri whom Olivia arranged, I had a safe and enjoyable trip.

    I can't think of anything I didn't like. For the cost, it met and exceeded my expectations in some regards; no frills but good food and nice staff.

    The location is convenient to the beach but my first preference is the professionalism of the staff and owner; friendly and efficient. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and any questions or requests were answered. Good sized room with a nice (?) view of the street and markets. They even offer room service. Only thing that would have been good to know is the restaurant / kitchen closes on Monday afternoon to give employees some rest. I didn't plan my dinner well that day :-)

    I rated it 8/10 for two reasons (otherwise was even a 9): • The only room left on Booking when I reserved was a double room with a terrace, but there was no terrace, just a window. • Another downside was that all the rooms for the driver were fully booked, and our driver couldn’t stay overnight. I know this isn’t really their responsibility, but in all the other hotels we stayed at, there was at least a separate room or space for the driver. It would be nice if they could solve this, especially since there aren’t many hotels in the area considering the amount of tourism. In the end, we kindly offered our driver a room at another hotel.

    The hotel is excellent for the price-quality ratio! Really cheap with a super central location in the village. The rooms are huge, clean, with hot showers, electricity – everything you could wish for in Madagascar. The staff is really lovely, and they even welcome you with a Baobab juice (which honestly tastes better than the one sold at the Avenue of the Baobabs!). They also offer breakfast in the morning, which unfortunately we missed as we had to leave early – but the smell of fresh baked goods was amazing. No mosquitoes, mosquito nets, or coils anywhere in the hotel!! WAS PERFECT! I definitely recommend it.

    Water not hot when sun isn't shining because hotel uses solar panels. I often waited 10 mins then I had a cold shower in the mornings. Plenty very strong hot water if you shower during the day 😂

    Olivia is my favourite. She is beautiful and patient and kind. Absolutely an asset to the company💖 well done Olivia you know you're amazing 👍👍👍she speaks the perfect English on the island👍

    The stairs to go up aren’t quite practical if you have a heavy luggage. Otherwise I have nothing negative about this place. I’ve stayed here twice and everything was just perfect. Their food prices are really affordable

    The cheapest hotel I had in Madagascar. Unbelievable how they managed to give such low price while the rooms were so big with balcony and high speed wifi inside the room. They are opened 24hours—I arrived in Morondava at 1:30AM after a long trip with Soatrans. Also, they can arrange a vehicle with damage driver to Tsingy Bemaraha National Park.

    A kettle in the room maybe

    Lovely location close to the markets and beach abd on a quiet street whose main traffic is the gentle sound of rickshaw. Was a bit worried about the mosque next door but no call to prayer! The tourist eating places are only 10 minutes walk away and I really warmed to the gentle rhythm of this town. There's a rooftop area to dry clothes so perfect for the budget traveller.

    If can have one more table for out luggages and having some hangers for the closet will be more convenience.

    Spacious room with terrace, friendly staff with efficient service. Can communicate with English is a plus for foreigner. Also air conditioning worth to pay as it is cool enough . Free parking and safe area. Workable distance to the beach.
