Excelente. Estava tudo muito bom!!!
Sem queixas!!
Wir haben extra ein besseres Zimmer bekommen, da die Unterkunft nicht voll ausgebucht war. Sehr nettes Personal, hat uns mit Bus und Taxi’s weitergeholfen.
Nur Kleinigkeiten: - Gardinenstange war nicht fest - Klima hat nicht gut gekühlt
A tropical paradise and authentic hospitality in Praslin! I a wonderful stay at this guesthouse, located just 200 meters from the stunning Cote d'Or beach. The property is beautifully immersed in lush greenery, offering a sense of absolute peace and relaxation. The highlight of the experience was the owner, Ms. Nora. She is incredibly kind, friendly, and always available.For each little Creole Dinner: One evening, Nora prepared a traditional Creole dinner for us. It was absolutely delicious, very generous in portions, and offered at an excellent price. It was one of the best meals we had on the island! She is also very helpful with organizing local tours and excursions, making everything stress-free. The rooms were clean and welcoming. We especially loved the beautiful towel art and fresh hibiscus flowers on the bed upon arrival—a lovely touch! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Seychelles experience, close to the beach but away from the noise. Thank you, Nora, we will definitely be back!
Très bien situé,proche d’une superbe plage à 5mn à pied de l’Anse Volbert
Tout était parfait,Nora est une personne bien veillante et de bon conseil pour nous faire découvrir son île Elle nous a trouvé un loueur de voiture et nous a conseillé pour une sortie en bateau
Отличные апартаменты в близи от пляжа. Управляющая была очень любезна, помогала с арендой машины, подсказывала и была на связи.
Location
Lokalizacja, miła obsługa
Obiekt stary, zniszczone meble, stare naczynia, nie chciałyśmy spędzać w nim czasu, problemy z kanalizacją, karaluchy w domku, niezadbany teren wokół.
Le logement est à côté de la plage Anse Volbert et pas loin de Anse Lazio. L'accès au logement est facile, il est possible de se garer. Le logement est propre, équipé et les chambres sont climatisées. L'hôte est de bons conseils.
Le logement est à proximité de la route donc il peut y avoir des bruits de circulation.
Wszystko było bardzo pozytywne, świetna lokalizacja, miły i pomocny personel, czystość bardzo dobra. Wyposażenie pokoju, kuchni bardzo dobre. Plaża Anse Volbert jest bliska i piękna.
Śniadania mogłyby być bardziej urozmaicone, brak warzyw było. Parking trochę ciasny, wjeżdżać trzeba ostrożnie.
L'emplacement de la résidence juste en face de la magnifique plage de côte d'or, il n'y a que la route à traverser.
Le bruit entre deux appartements séparés par une simple porte, ainsi que celui de la route assez passagère juste devant la résidence.
Nora, die Managerin und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett! Die Unterkunft ist sauber und schön ruhig.
Super lokacija in gospa Nora, ki pripravi odlične večerje po naročilu.
Personnel sympathique et souriant. Nous avons pu laisser nos valises le matin avant l'heure prévue pour le check-in La possibilité de manger un repas créole préparé par la patronne. Logement bien situé, proche de la plage quand on traverse la route.
Logement TRES vétuste. Le sol est décollé, il faut faire attention quand on marche. Les siphons des 2 douches sont bouchés et n'ont pas pu être débouchés durant notre séjour donc de l'eau jusqu'aux chevilles à chaque fois. Les pommeaux et tuyaux de la douche sont aussi cassés, de l'eau s'écoule de tous les côtés. Il y a de la poussière et le ménage est fait de manière très superficielle. Les serviettes de bain ont des tâches. Nous avons été très déçu du logement. Nous sommes quand même resté car il s'agissait d'un séjour de 3 nuits et que nous étions là uniquement pour dormir.
We had the family room far from the road so it was perfect. Big enough and with everything needed. Nora and her team helped with everything (transfer to the ferry, car location, boat trip to Cousin, Curieuse and île saint Jacques)
We have to cross the road for approx 30-50 meters and it is a bit dangerous. 10-15 min walk then on the beach to reach the supermarket, DAB and restaurants, which is fine because it is a nice walk on a beautiful beach. The hotel is located on the left hand corner of Anse Volbert, close to the granite rocks so better for snorkelling. We could see a small ray in the water!
Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Die Lage war in Ordnung.
Nagyon jó helyen van, kedves személyzet, tisztaság, mindennap takaritanak.
Egy kicsit elhasznált butor
Sehr saubere Unterkunft, großzügige Räumlichkeiten, große Terrasse. Die Angestellten alle sehrsehr freundlich, sie geben jederzeit Auskunft und versuchen alles zu organisieren! Wir haben uns direkt beim guesthouse ein Auto gemietet.
Wir hatten leider Wasser im Bad, wahrscheinlich war das Bidet defekt. Kann passieren, war nicht schlimm
Nora was helpful in organizing trips. The location is good and the apartment big.
The staff is disinterested and not really friendly. Nora herself doesn’t know how to respect the privacy of her guests. She was running around our apartment and bathrooms while we were getting ready in the morning for something that could have easily waited an hour. Total disaster!!!
Nora is the kindest person that I have met! Lovely Amazing chef,she gave us the best tips for the island. She took care of us in deepest way!
All so good
Staff very friendly and helpful, dinner fish curry excellent.
The house was spatious, good wi-fi and air conditioner in each room.
700m from the first restaurant/shop, dark, no light on the way, the house was almost the last one on the property and there was no light and road, next to a forest. For 3 nights we heard some noises in the ceiling coming from a rat or bird. Also, Nora, the owner offered to prepare us fresh fish dinner for 300RP/p (600 in total), we accepted, and then the next day to find out that the exact meal that we have eaten was at a take away near, but with 250RP for 2 persons. The furniture was old.
Nora the manager is very friendly. The place has an authentic feel It is fair value for money
Matress was not too comfortable in one of the rooms. The other room had windows towards the inner yard, not a great view The other appartments were better
Very large, comfortable and very clean house, equipped with all the necessary dishes. Nora very hospitable, always ready to solve small requests and for various information. Having a late evening flight allowed us to use another apartment.
Everything nice
very good price for a big bedroom + living room+ accessorized kitchen and nice patio. 5 min from an amazing beach where a few luxury resorts are located.
Nora was very kind and helpful and she made us very tasty dinner every time we ask for it.
The breakfast was to simple for us... only toast and fruits..
We eat exelent barracuda fish in gesthouse. thanks.
Very well situated and close to the Cote D'or beach. The bus stop is also only 2 minutes walking distance. Nora is very welcoming and showed us different options for amazing stay in Praslin.
Daily cleaning, comfortable bed, nice staff, parking available, good location
Studio was very small,
I cannot recommend this guesthouse more. Nora and her staff are super friendly; the guesthouse contacted us before our arrival to confirm when we were going to be there, and if we would need a transfer, and then when we were checking in, Nora provided all the information that we needed for our stay, including where to go, when is the best time to go, how to avoid tourist traps. She booked some places to visit and helped us find a car. We also enjoyed wonderful home-cooked dinners with local cuisine, which was a nice surprise after our stay in Mahe, where it was hard to find good quality food. The location is also great - a very quiet place, but just a couple of minutes walk from the dive center and from the beautiful beach. I happened to have forgotten my shoes when we checked out and only remembered when we made it to another island - LaDigue, and I was really upset because we were not planning on returning to Praslin. But when I called Nora, she made an effort to get to the boat the next day (which is 20 min drive from the guesthouse), and she sent me the shoes that I picked up at the boat station in LaDigue. This shows how Nora cares about her guests - she makes you feel very welcomed.
Great location, very nice staff, clean
Matelas (will be changed soon)
Nice guesthouse with very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and extremely clean. They give the option of a dinner service, which was very good. On our last day, they kept our luggage and even let us take a late shower, which was really appreciated.
The place is very close to Cote d'Or beach, but it's overlooking the main road and you have to walk a little in order to reach the beach.
The apartment was super big, clean, comfy and offering everything you need on holiday. However, the best thing about it is Nora. She takes care of you since you arrive and assist you in all situation. Anytime we need some information or help, Nora was avaliable. Moreover, they allowed us to use the room even after checkout as the boat was leaving in the evening.
