Castaway Lodge

The bathroom door did not lock at all. The TV never turned on.

I arrived late in the evening and I was greeted by a staff member who showed me my apartment. I was expecting a small room but was pleasantly surprised to find myself being given a large 2 bedroom apartment that came with a modern shower room and a kitchen plus lounge room! There was air con inside and fans in the bedrooms and lounge room area. Rooms come with clean towels and you get a bottle of mineral water in the fridge, with refills available at the reception area. The kitchen had a cooker/stove/oven, fridge freezer, microwave and cutlery and crockery, so you can cook and eat easily, or go out for meals and supplies as there are plenty shops within walking distance! You also get given towels and toiletries in the shower room. I had a great view from all rooms inside the apartment and I even had a private terrace area! There is a pool available for use anytime, plus they have Aldabra tortoises and you can feed them and take pics to your hearts content! The staff are super friendly, helpful and attentive. The owner was also around on my final day there and he was knowledgeable and had great stories to share. My taxi failed to turn up on a day where I had to be at Eden Island within an hour. I was shown by staff how to download the bus app and top up a small amount on the app for use on the buses. Each journey is 10 rupees which is roughly 50p or less than a dollar. I went to Eden island then used buses again to go north and south of the island to explore fully! Thanks!

We only stayed one night before our flight and the apartment was great for us. Well equipped and large. There was no aircon in the living room which was uncomfortable but the ones in the bedroom worked well. Staff were friendly.

A beautiful property to be at..

Great location and well maintained property

The flat was smelling so bad, old and completely dirty everywhere with yellow bed sheets and staines on all floors. luckily we only used the place for some hours before leaving to the airport. Never again

Belle endroit, bonne emplacement

It is excellent lokacion for island exploring. Quiet tropical garden surrounding edged by mountains to enjoy from the porch. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fast and easy check in and check out.

Lacked air conditioning In the main living area of our 2 bedroom area. Host was excellent and very accommodating with excellent communication. Pool is a lot smaller than the images on their website.

Trevligt boende i trädgårdsmiljö. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Fredag o lördag något störande musik från närbeläget discotek.

We were disappointed overall. We choose this place because we thought it had a pool ( there were pics of the pool attached to listing), when we arrived we were told the pool was only available to certain guests. Our apartment was on a very busy road and all you could hear were loud stereos in cars driving by all night. The road the apartment was on was too busy to walk on, had to use taxi for everything. A few times we had no water for showering and had to contact manager. Wifi went down our last day. Manager contacted us on 2nd day because housekeeping felt the sheets were too dirty when they went to change them and asked us to be careful. There was no place to eat in the apartment, you had to sit on the bed with plates. Room had lizards in it. Overall, hugely disappointing with no pool, felt like the add was very deceptive.

Struttura vicinissima a servizi tipo: fermata bus, minimarket, spiaggia. Personale cordialissimo, ottima pulizia, spazi comuni molto ordinati, calma e tranquillità. Soggiorno molto confortevole.

Très bon enlaplacement pour la découverte de l île , bon équipement intérieur , équipé dévoué et competente pour gérer les soucis . A recommander

We booked the apartment with reef view. It was really beautiful and decorated with love. Everything was new and furnished in a modern way. There is a supermarket just next door, so we had everything we needed. Above all the host, Nila, is a very kind person who really looks after her guests. I highly recommend Castaway Lodge.

Tres grand appartement, grande terrasse avec petit jardin au milieu de la vegetation. Au calme, petite plage en traversant la route, mise a dispo de canoe gratuitement. Supermarche tout proche.

Un établissement bien tenu dans un environnement très vert fleuri et propre. Nila la responsable ne parle pas le français et son anglais est très dur à comprendre. Gros problèmes

We originally booked a 2 bed lodge (for 5 of us) but decided to change to the 3 bed lodge as this would give us more room. The 3 bed lodge is extremely spacious and a beautiful setting.

One room, detached apartment Near the beach. Simple facilities but adequate. Ideal as a base to explore the Island.

Stort och rymligt men kök och badrum skulle behöva renoveras upp till bättre skick.Hotellet underhålls dock väldigt bra och AC m.m. var toppskick. Det bor två stora sköldpaddor på anläggningen vilket barnen älskade och de kunde klappa dem.

On arrival we had no power went to reception to ask for candles amazing the power came on! Wifi very slow, or none at all! the little pool needs a good clean as we had our grandson with us. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and spacious. The cookware needs to be updated, very old and grubby! Even though I still prepared evening meals after giving them a good scrub! Candles of citronella should be provided as we were bitten by mosquitoes, applying ourselves with repellent wasn't enough! The reception lady on arrival was kind enough to tell us about good swimming location. Staff came in every day to replace towels and made beds.Good value for family, recommend this villa if you don't mind bad reception for phone and iPad,

Bien situé, Face à la mer Bon accueil à l'arrivée Menage fait tous les jours

Situato nella parte sud di Mahe con l'auto che consiglio si raggiungono in pochi minuti le spiagge più belle dell'isola

El wifi no llega hasta la habitacion, no cambiaron toallas ni sabanas en 4 noches, limpieza insuficiente, cocina y utensilios sucios, sin papel del baño y nadie para pedir, ducha abierta a la habitacion, nadie en recepcion para comunicarse. Hay que utilizar linterna para llegar a la habitacion, esta totalmente oscuras.
