Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Мы здесь восьмой раз, объективно оценивать сложно. Но вы здесь получите все что обещанно и даже больше. Вам не нужно турагентство если вы здесь, вам все сделают на месте. От экскурсий до бытовых вопросов такси, трансферов и т. д. Исключительно на вас позитивно настроенный персонал. В ином случае и не было бы восьмого раза! Из плюсов места всё рядом, банки, кафе, рестораны, магазины, остановки и т. д. Можете вообще никуда не уезжать с места Anne, thank you very match. See you next year!
К отелю отношения напрямую не имеет. Сам пляж интересен только для семей с детьми. Взрослым он неинтересен никак, придется развелеквтт себя самим и куда-то ездить.
La posizione, la struttura semplice ma tipica e curata
Nette kleine Pension. Die Zimmer sind ziemlich klein. Es ist funktional und sauber dort. Das Frühstück war wie auf den Seychellen üblich bestehend aus einem kleinen Obstteller, Toastbrot, Marmelade und einer Eierspeise. Zum Strand geht man nur wenige Minuten. Wir haben die Insel von der Unterkunft aus gut erkunden können.
Das Bett war für 2 Personen relativ klein, aber das ist sicher auch der Zimmergröße geschuldet.
Hyvä ja rauhallinen sijainti, ilmastointi toimi hyvin. Aamupala oli tuore ja maukas.
Olisi ollut kiva, jos olisi ollut oma terassi.
La colazione poco varia
Rent, sentralt, god plass inne og ute.
Litt lite glass, tallerkener etc i felleskjøkkenet
Το προσωπικο, η ησυχια, η καθαριοτητα, η τοποθεσια, το ανετο δωματιο
Το πρωινο-.πολυ περιορισμενες.επιλογες
La posizione, a pochi passi dal mare. Stanze pulite
Un endroit proche de la plage et d’un petit centre ville , l’arrêt de bus pas loin , la chambre était propre, le ménage était fait tout les jours . Le personnel des petits déjeuners était gentil.
Nous n’avons pas pu payer par CB . Le petit déjeuner était limité au niveau des choix, les œufs étaient fades , nous n’avions qu’une seule fois des saucisses sinon, les autres jours juste des œufs , heureusement qu’il avait les assiettes de fruits qui étaient par contre appréciables. Pour notre chambre il manquait un extérieur pour étendre nos maillots et serviettes.
Einfaches aber gutes frühstück, mit frischen früchten. Sehr saubere zimmer.
Chambres confortables, bon petit-déjeuner et dîner. Bon accueil
Sortie en mer , accompagnatrice jeune inexpérimentée
Ottima posizione , struttura pulita ..
Colazione molto basic e sempre uguale . Struttura un po’ datata .
Nice stuff Walking distance from the beach, market and restaurant.
Wifi was not soo good, breakfast is just fresh fruit and cereals.
Chambre et salle de bain spacieuses et très propres, très bonne literie kingsize. Ventilateur super silencieux dans la chambre. Bon petit déjeuner. Le calme et bien-être de la villa et de son environnement, sa siituation idéale à proximité de tout (fabuleuse plage, bus, commerces, activités...) facilement accessible à pied. La gentillesse du personnel d'accueil francophone et de service anglophone. Le service taxi géré par notre hôte.
Le regard omniprésent du personnel pendant le petit-déjeuner. Lors de la réservation nous avions pensé que la chambre possédait un petit espace extérieur. La chambre 4 possédant un important vis-à-vis, nous avons passé beaucoup de temps dans le sombre et dîner à l'intérieur. Mais c'est de notre faute, nous aurions dû relire le détail des équipements au moment de la sélection. Nous n'avons pas vu notre hôte à notre départ, donc merci pour l'ensemble de notre séjour !
Great location only short walk to the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped is with all out requests. Breakfasts were basic but tasty with fresh fruits everyday. If we decide to come back to Praslin - I will not hesitate to use Villa Bananier services again.
Everything is perfect 👌
The staff was amazing and very helpful ! It is very close to the main road with many places to eat. The room was spotless and cleaned everyday.
Wonderful place in a perfect location
Very helpful, smiling staff, doing their best for us to enjoy the stay. Great location only steps away from Anse Volbert, shops, ATM, takeaway, bars and restaurants - but still in a quiet area. 15 min taxi drive from the ferry and 15 min from Anse Lazio. Overall good value for money.
Petit déjeuner copieux, belle chambre propre, personnel attentionné (petits cadeaux fleurs, fruits) A deux pas de la plage Très bon rapport qualité prix
very good location , helpfull staff, sufficient breakfast
air conditioning already not in best shape
breakfast
no booking upon arrival! very disorganized!
Big room and large bathroom. All the rooms share the same balcony going around the whole property. Decent brekfast. 5 min to the Cote d’Or beach Easy accessible by bus.
Great value in a very nice location, close to a beautiful beach. Everything was within walking distance. Our hosts were very welcoming.
Location and quiet
Late breakfast, weak wifi, cold shower faucet not operational, only one nightstand.
This accommodation has a soul - the people who own it! All the staff was very kind. There is an option to book a dinner in the villa - which we absolutely recommend - so we did it. They prepared for us the fish and the chicken with salad and pumpkin chutney, plus we had a dessert at the end. It was so delicious! Every day the owner was asking us if everything is ok, and we really appreciated it. Breakfast is the same every day - fruits, eggs, toast, jam, butter, cereals, milk, coffee, tea and juice, but we didn't mind. The room is furnished in the old style, but everything is functional and there is enough space. Every day we had housekeeping so it has been kept clean. In front, we had a table with very comfortable chairs. There is parking in front of the reception and in the yard of the house of the owner which is right next to the villa. The location is perfect! It is on a small road, so it is quiet, plus it's very near to the beach and the best takeaway in Seychelles - Ma's.
Like everywhere in Seychelles - the internet is bad. We had to sit near the restaurant so we could have it because in the room it was not functioning at all.
Perfect location, Anne and Peter were wonderful hosts that made everything easy for us and gave us all the tips for the best stay in the island. We definitely will be coming back to Praslin and stay at Villa Bananier! The room was cleaned everyday and the villa has all the facilities you can need. Best choice ever :)
great location near a beautiful beach, take away, restaurant and grocery shop is 2-3 min walk diatance, bus stop is 5 min, room was clean and the lady always left some flowers on the bed. breakfast was simple but very tasty.
the walls are very thin so you can hear what your neightbour is watching on phone, wifi was very weak
it was a very enjoyable stay at villa bananier. The room is equipped with everything necessary: fridge, kettle, coffee, safe, air conditioning, cosmetics in the bathroom. Very helpful staff and the owners of the facility. help rent a car, tours. The landlady allowed us to stay until the afternoon, despite checking out by 10 am. We had many pleasant conversations with her. it is also possible she cook dinner on request. Breakfast is typical and good - toast, fruit, cereals, coffee and eggs, about which you need to tell the staff. highly recommend when staying on Praslin, a few steps from the cote d'or (anse vollbert). perfect location. Also 5minut walking from the best take away on Praslin! I recommend! good quality for a good price. I don't know what more you need during your stay, because we had everything provided.
Breakfast was delicious. The room was very nice. I loved the offer that we could go to a half day trip by boat to Curieuse island to see toroises. ♥ Everything was organised by Anne from Villa Bananier. Anne was very nice, she gave us some advices what we can see and visit in Praslin. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much. We had an amazing time.
Nice breakfast Friendly, helpful staf Good location near restaurant and busses
Very, very bad wifi, only near the breakfast area....not in the room The bathroom was a bit old and the showerhead was leaking and you had to hold it while showering... The matrasses were not the best
Polite and helpful host. She can cook traditional delicious dinner upon request. Comfortable spacious rooms. Beautiful terrace in front of the house and in the back of the rooms, too. Parking space available.
Wifi was good enough only on the terrace from the back of the room.
Anne is a wonderful manager who helps you with anything you need
La struttura era in ordine e pulita. Il personale gentile, tuttavia sono stato poco bene due giorni e ho chiesto se gentilmente potevano farmi la cena con un piatto di pasta in bianco, ma in risposta mi hanno detto che dovevo andare a comprarmi la pasta e arrangiarmi. Quantomeno la pasta o il riso potevano darmelaoro anziché farmi andare al market con problemi di stomaco a prenderla.. A parte questo in generale il soggiorno è andato bene
Mysigt vandrarhem men dålig möjlighet att laga mat i nuläget på grund av corona, trevlig och hjälpsam personal också.
famileingeführte Unterkunft, nette Gastgeberin, Sehr Gutes Abendessen!
De skulle hämta oss från färjeterminalen men de gjorde inte det. När vi kom fram till gäst huset sade tj bookat Fa
Einfach alles super und sehr nette Gastgeberin Anne
comodità per raggiungere spiagge e bus camera grande, ma senza spazio per stendere asciugamani, un po' datata e rumorosa negli impianti
Lovely stay. Very friendly and really helpful. Lovely big room and comfy bed! Easy reach of everywhere, would really recommend!
Ottimo soggiorno a Villa Bananier, camera pulita, personale cortese e disponibile, grazie Anna!
Abbiamo trascorso qui 5 notti. La signora aveva "dimenticato" la nostra prenotazione e non ci ha quindi sistemato nella struttura principale ma in una stanza "di riserva" nella propria abitazione. La stanza era comunque confortevole con ampio bagno e terrazza. La signora è stata molto gentile nel consigliarci gli itinerari e anche qualche buon ristorante. Per il "disguido" della prenotazione ci ha addirittura offerto una buonissima cena. L'ultimo giorno dovevamo partire presto per prendere il traghetto e ci ha anticipato la colazione. Ci tornerei!
Seychellen ist eine Hochpreis-Destination. Mit der Nähe zu Strand, Restaurants, Busstop, ATM etc. ist der hohe Preis für Praslin ganz ok. Die Vermieterin und ihr Mann sind sehr hilfsbereit, organisieren alles umgehend, fahren auch mal irgendwo hin um zu helfen. Grosszügig mit spätem Checkout etc. Das Frühstück ist nicht üppig, verglichen mit anderen privaten Unterkünften aber als gut einzustufen. ZB der Fruchtsaft ist Fruchtsaft und nicht Wasser mit etwas Fruchtsaft drin...
The guesthouse would have been nice, if there would not have been the impossibly bad service of the owners. First, she refused to pick us up from the airport eventhough they offered free transfer around the clock. Then she tried to give us a standard room instead of the superior room we had booked. We had to wait for 2 hours for the right room although check-in was supposed to be ready by our arrival. They offer to wash and give back the laundry within 24 hours. We handed our laundry in 3 days before our departure and got it back completely wet one hour before departure. The car rental was good but arrived half an hour late because she ordered it differently than we requested. Except from the service as mentioned above there was nothing to criticize. Our room was clean, everything worked and all we needed available.
Con una facilissima e breve passeggiata ci si trova in spiaggia ad Anse Volbert. Stanze molto spaziose,letto enorme,possibilità di usare la cucina. Noi abbiamo approfittato di un'offerta con la mezza pensione e ci siamo trovati bene,Anne ci ha sempre cucinato il pesce,speziato ma solo quanto basta, riso e insalata tutti i giorni diversa. L'ultima sera ci ha fatto un insalata con il pesce affumicato che era spaziale ed infine un dolce o la macedonia di frutta! In generale non spiccano in simpatia però noi ci siamo trovati bene quindi mi sento di consigliarlo. Per le cene vedete voi. Visti i prezzi fuori e l'offerta dei piatti se trovate l'offerta a mezza pensione fateci un pensierino.
Guest housse, très agréable, les propriétaires sont super sympathiques, le repas créole est très bon n'hésitez pas !
Не удачное начало замечательного отдыха. Мы забронировали эти апартаменты заранее (почти за шесть месяцев) на сайте Hotels.com и получили подтверждение, что наш номер гарантированно забронирован и подтвержден, но когда мы приехали, хозяйка сказала, что свободных мест нет, и предложила нам временно пожить в другом месте. Мы себе отдых портить не стали выяснениями отношений и скандалами, но не очень приятно вместо спокойного отдыха переезжать с места на место каждые два дня.
Dalle altre recensioni siamo arrivati con poche aspettative. Invece ci siamo dovuti ricredere perché la struttura è veramente confortevole, a 5 minuti dalla spiaggia di Cote d'Or. Le camere sono spaziose e vengono pulite e rassettate ogni mattina. La colazione è ricca di frutta tropicale buonissima sempre varia. C'è persino un servizio di lavanderia dove una persona addetta si prende cura di lavare e stendere i panni. La cucina in comune è molto comoda se si vuole preparare qualcosa. Se dovessimo tornarci torneremmo di sicuro qui.
