Friendly staff, great location, clean.
Layout of rooms give lack of privacy. Quite basic amenities.
La habitación era muy amplia y la piscina estaba muy bien. Tenía parking y la atención fue maravillosa

qualité de l’accueil Petit déjeuner Qualité des équipements
Le personnel est très sympathique et attentif.
La douche dans la salle de bain est un peu fatiguée mais elle fait le job.
Bel établissement Belle piscine Nous avons eu un problème pour la télécommande de la télé et les prises pour recharger les téléphones Mais excentré pas de restauration sans reprendre la voiture. Prix du petit déjeuner un peu élevé.
Dans le ragraphe orecedent
Très jolie villa avec beaucoup d’espaces sympas : piscine, salon, cuisine. Un peu excentré mais avec une voiture c’est parfait. Le propriétaire est sympa et prend le temps de discuter avec les hôtes.
Malgré la décoration sympa et le potentiel de la villa, les équipements sont vieillissants (salle de bain, peintures, mobilier…) et la propreté très insuffisante. Ok pour des clients peu regardants sur ce point.
Хозяин супер приятный и гостеприимный. Местоположение тоже было супер, потому что тихо возле горы.
Ни разу не убирались в номере за 7 дней
L'ambiance du gîte est nettement plus conviviale qu'un simple hôtel, notamment grâce au maître des lieux d'une grande gentillesse et de très bon conseil. Je reviendrai
The owner was helpful and friendly. The first day the cleaning was not up to our expectations but after clarification he ensured the rooms were cleaned properly.
The cleaning on the first day
L'espace commun est pratique et convivial.
La chambre doit être rénovée et mieux nettoyée. Les matelas changés parfois.
Lieu magnifique. Espaces communs, terrasse, pisicne Personnel sympathique. Responsable disponible.
Situation à l'écart mal éclairée la nuit. Sanitaire de la chambre. Concept du petit déjeuner en autonomie mais payant.

Nice property
Nous avons vraiment apprécié l’endroit, un petit paradis! L’endroit est calme.
图片是视频里截的。除了位置并不是很好找(可能是因为我们晚上找过去的吧),其他都很好,工作人员特别友好,房子也很漂亮,很大,是古典的、奢雅的别墅。其外有个巨大的泳池环绕,还有个田园式的大餐厅,像是一个世外桃源。
Le calme de l'endroit, la terrasse, la piscine.
Le petit dejeuner n'est pas à la hauteur. Ne pas le prendre et s'organiser soi-même ou aller manger en ville.
Really nice place! Big room, clean, nice view and good host! Defined is great value for your money.

Wir wurden mit einem Upgrade empfangen und hatten ein wunderschönes großes Zimmer mit geräumigen Badezimmer im OG. Die Gastgeberin Michele war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück auf der wunderschönen Terrasse war sehr lecker.
More than enough
Grande chambre propre/ petit déjeuner correct , Très belle piscine ,parking sécurisé .
Ne pas rester plus longtemps.
L'emplacement dans le sud, proche de toutes les activités touristiques en voiture. La gentillesse de Robin, son amabilité ainsi que ses excellents conseils de visites. Le petit-déjeuner et la piscine au top!
Beaucoup de petites choses cassées ou hors d'usage (hammam, jacuzzi, lit qui grince énormément, porte de la salle de bain qui ne ferme pas, robinetterie montée à l'envers, rien pour étendre le linge).... Mériterait de petits investissements pour remettre à flot le logement.
Robin was very friendly and accommodating
Lieu calme et reposant. Gentillesse du propriétaire et du personnel. Bon petit déjeûner. Belle terrasse avec vue pour notre chambre (chambre double vue mer).
A medence szép volt, abban azért tudtunk fürdeni. Maga a ház elrendezése először imponáló volt, azonban a tisztaság nem volt azonos szinten.
4 éjszakát voltunk itt, de bőven sok volt. A házat a növények teszik széppé, mert itt tartózkodás közben kiderült: koszos, csótányok vannak, beázik. A konyha is koszos, az edények elég gusztustalanok, sok a hangya. Nem volt szó róla, hogy bejárkálnak a szobáinkba, nincs lehetőség, hogy kirakd a Ne zavarjanak! táblát. Ott tartózkodásunk alatt az egyik szobából (6-an voltunk, 3 szobát béreltünk) eltűnt egy nagyobb összeg. A tulajdonos sajnálkozását fejezte ki, azt mondta, ilyen még nem történt, az alkalmazottak régebb óta dolgoznak itt, nem érti. Érdekes, hogy 2 szobában vettük észre, hogy beletúrtak a csomagokba, a harmadikban nem, és pont azt a kettőt takarította ugyanaz a takarítónő, ezt a tulajdonos is megjegyezte, mégsem “vette elő” a takarítónőt!! A reggeli szegényes és minden reggel ugyanaz. A gyümölcssaláta nem friss, a közösen használt hűtőben van elhelyezve órákig, ha nem fogyik el, másnap smoothie lesz belőle… Szóval keressetek inkább másik szállást, mert ez nem ajánlom senkinek!!!
Pulizia ed igiene non adeguati.
Grande chambre avec literie et serviettes propres. Petit dej - baguette/ viennoiserie / thé/ café etc - simple et juste.

Host is very welcoming n helpful all the time. The guesthouse and our room were very clean - clean towels/ bedsheets. Breakfast ( continental ) was sufficient . Very nice pool n well equipped gym.
Nor staying longer.
Très jolie villa.Beaucoup de boiserie. Belle chambre.Service de ménage quotidien. Belle piscine. Petit déjeuner correct.
Très bon accueil.L hôte est très symphatique et toujours prêt à aider/ organiser nos excursions. Location de voiture au gite . Belle salle de sport Parking sécurisée. On a bien aimé utilise la cuisine- énorme avantage pour se préparer à manger.
Room 6 need to be improved to make more comfortable

Everything .
Everything was up to the required standard .Very nice guesthouse - very well maintained and excellent customer care
Very quiet and peaceful guesthouse.
The Host Robin was very kind, and attentive. The pool was lovely. The car hire services is amazing saves us the hassle of hiring vehicles from the outside.
While the location was convenient, certain areas require alot of attention. 1. The ants, whilst I understand that this is beyond the Hosts control but I think that regular treatment in and around the premises will assist with this. I had ants in the room, my bed and even in our clothes in our bags.. 2. The bedding need serious attention, they aren't white they are discolored and very unkempt, I itched and ended up with huge red bites on my legs and body sleeping on this bed. When we got there there was unknown persons hair on my pillows and I refused to use them creating my own pillow with my clothes. I had to request a change of linen, even then I wasn't happy. The room is dark, drabby and very very old, with dust in all corners, seriously upset me that I had to live in these conditions for 8 days and we paid a substantial amount for this accommodation and finding alternate accommodation was not within my budget. These rooms could do with a serious upgrade and remodeling, I am not talking about all the other rooms, as i didnt see the others, because when we asked for a change of room because of the ants etc we were given insecticide spray to combat the "problem" The helpers weren't very attentive, and our apartment was not swept or mopped in the time we stayed there, the only thing that was done was the making up of our bed or the changing of linen when we requested. Mugs weren't removed from the rooms and in one week that we were there our tumblers in the room weren't changed nor washed. The basins weren't cleaned, I had to wipe this every day myself. Breakfast was the same thing every day, and some days we had additional "protein" in the form of ants in our baguettes and buns, so much so that I went to breakfast on 1 day and opted to stay away the rest of the time. The shower was dark and dingy, I absolutely hated this place.
The owner is very friendly and willing to help. Always available to help
Mosquitoes Breakfast without bacon and eggs😁
L’emplacement
We really enjoyed every aspect of our trip and the accommodation. We rented a car and spent most of our time exploring the island, so unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to enjoy the pool at the property. The host was extremely kind and helpful, which made our stay even more pleasant. We would love to return in the future. Breakfast was tasty, and we appreciated the self-service concept in the kitchen. If you plan to cook your own meals, it might be a good idea to check the available kitchen amenities with the host in advance. The car was not particularly fast or powerful, but it suited our needs and we were satisfied with it. We did not use the gym, so we cannot comment on the equipment.
Nous avons aimé l’accueil et la disponibilité de Robin et de son équipe ! Le Gîte est spacieux et bien agencé ! 🤩 Merci d’avoir rendu notre séjour authentique !
Petit bémol : le bruit de la clim de la chambre voisine quand on était sur la terrasse !
We had a set Continental breakfast but one could add extras. Location super out on patio with tropical plants/pool & bird life surrounds - very calming
I didnt trust myself to hire a car (my 1st visit there) & so was reliant on outside help butTook next time will plan better. Did however use the local bus for an outing & loved the route we took and the chance to mix with the locals - so not all bad
Overall, the view of the mountains is good (but there is some strange construction nearby)
It says breakfast is included. But in reality, they just give each room a basket with two croissants and a loaf of butter. It gets old fast. The owner argued for a long time, saying that no French person eats eggs for breakfast. Then he finally agreed to at least make us some scrambled eggs—that's a plus. But the attitude towards other guests was absolutely terrible. They brought us breakfast, and other guests watched and wanted it too, but the staff refused to cook anything for them. Basically, if you're expecting a full breakfast or a buffet, this isn't the hotel for you. The photo shows a tennis court, but you can only use it if you have tennis rackets and balls ((I doubt many people bring these on vacation)) The owner is insincere. When we asked a simple question, "Where can I get lunch?" he'd answer, "Oh, there are tons of restaurants there." Ultimately, we struggled to find anything. There was often no hot water. The lock in the room kept jamming. We paid extra for a room with a view, and it was impossible to sleep in. The air conditioner is located right above the bed, so you could catch a cold. There are no bartenders there, like in the photo. The massage tables are dusty, the doors creak, and the refrigerator, which only contains butter, is locked. So, if you decide to make yourself a sandwich and take your rightful butter, don't expect to eat. I got the feeling the owner is a cheapskate.
L'emplacement, l'accueil et la sympathie de l'hôte.
O alojamento é cozy e sossegado. O staff simpático e preocupado.
Achei as toalhas encardidas, podiam melhorar/renovar a wc e o pequeno almoço era sempre igual.
Le cadre et le charme du complexe. N'ayant pas de véhicule, Robin nous a gentiment accompagné pour nos excursions et nous le remercions. Nous avons apprécié la vue de notre terrasse, notre salle de bain et notre chambre spacieuse. La piscine est plutôt agréable et globalement établissement très calme.
L'établissement manque de propreté, équipement vétuste et très mal entretenu. Petit déjeuner basique et sans prétention malgré l'idée séduisante d'une cuisine commune partagée. Attention, les distances annoncées ne sont pas tout à fait la réalité (notamment entre la guest house et le centre ville). Un véhicule est vivement recommandé.
Gros plus pour la salle de sport
Nous avons réservé ce gîte en nous fiant à sa note de 9,2/10 et à son grand nombre d’avis positifs sur Booking, ce qui est assez rare. Jusqu’ici, nous n’avions jamais été déçus par un logement aussi bien noté, mais il faut une première fois. J’espère que mon commentaire sera utile au propriétaire (par ailleurs sympathique), car s’il ne redresse pas rapidement la barre, la note risque de chuter encore davantage : elle a déjà baissé de 0,3 point en une semaine. Nous n’avions encore jamais séjourné dans un logement aussi sale pour ce niveau de prix. Il y avait de la poussière partout, douche horrible (cheveux coincés dans l'évacuation, calcaire sur les murs), des taches sur tous les draps et serviettes. A plus de 120 € la nuit, ce n’est pas acceptable et c'est une grande première pour nous. Durant notre séjour, tous les clients en parlaient entre eux : chacun était surpris de la saleté et du manque d’entretien. Je tiens à souligner que je ne suis pas du tout maniaque donc je n'ose imaginer la réaction de quelqu'un un peu plus méticuleux... La salle de sport est elle aussi négligée : équipements rouillés, poussière et crasse omniprésentes. C'est dommage car c'est LE gros plus du gite. Le petit déjeuner est très limité en termes de variété, c'est tous les jours la même chose. Le matelas des lits est très inconfortable (système avec ressort donc à deux c'est compliqué de bien dormir). Il y a beaucoup d'eau stagnante à l'extérieur de le maison (car gouttière pas entretenu par exemple) ce qui fait qu'il y a énormément de moustique le soir. Enfin, l’accès au logement se fait par une route très dégradée.
Very nice people , swimming pool and wonderful atmospheric interior of the house.
All perfect
Posto tranquillo, coccolo. Bella la piscina e comoda la palestra. Personale disponibile e gentile.
Dejligt morgenbrød og ro i området. God seng. Fitness har hvad du skal bruge. Varmt vand med tryk på.
Morgenmaden er uden noget varmt dvs ingen æg mm. Brød, revet ost, 1 skive skinke, marmelade, frugt, cereal, smør er indholdet. En oprydning i fitness ville give mere plads & bedre træning. Dobbeltværelser er meget mørke og udsigten er en væg. Pool er ikke ren og får ingen gennemstrømning/luft. Bar er ikke åben som nogle ellers skriver i anmeldelser. Der er rent på overfladerne men ikke i hjørner og f.eks køleskabet.
Sehr schön eingerichtet
Die Straße zur Unterkunft ist sehr beschädigt und man muss recht langsam fahren Recht teuer für die Lage Das Frühstück ist sehr Basic (1 Baguette und 1 Croissant - keine Eier oder viel Obst)
Breakfast! And the kitchen and outdoor dining area.
The old uncomfortable bed and bathroom was too dark and no toilet roll holder. The shower wood panels were not level. There were no pillow protectors, the pillows were old and discoloured. Dust on lamp.
Le personnel est accueillant mzis le proprietaire ne l est absolument pas.
Nous sommes habitues a venir a Maurice, et c est le premier etablissement ou a l arrivee le proprietaire ne propose meme pas un jus de fruit frais apres le voyage. Le Paiement en cash est sa seule preocupation. La proprete et le menage sont a revoir en totalite (salle de bain et electro menager dans cuisine commune ainsi que vaisselle).
Der Service von dem Inhaber hat uns sehr gut gefallen, er war sehr hilfsbereit, hatte stets einen Rat für uns und war sehr zuvorkommend.
Unser Zimmer war ein bisschen unsauber.
Charmante guest house avec grande piscine, les chambres sont très confortables, le petit déjeuner est copieux et bon, le personnel est au petit soin. Bonne situation géographique à 5 minutes en voiture de la plage de Tamarin. Nous avons adoré notre séjour !
Rien
L’établissement est magnifique dans un coin paisible et reposant c’était super
Rien tout était très bien
Peu de monde à notre arrivée, Robin nous a proposé d'être surclassé ! Maison avec beaucoup de charme et Robin nous a bien conseillés pour les excursions durant notre séjour.
We stayed for a few days in the family room. Great size room. The children loved the pool. Huge kitchen and a good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day.
Everything was up to required standard. Clean room( serviced daily) ,good continental breakfast ,superb gym facilities, nice n well maintained pool.The host is very caring and will attend to your needs promptly- organising excursions/ etc. We booked our rental car from the guesthouse.
Very nice guesthouse with big pool, nice room,excellent customer care.
Could stay longer
This guesthouse provides value for money facilities: comfortable / clean room - cleaned daily ,safe parking space ,big pool,well equipped gym,nice breakfast.
Everything was perfect for a guesthouse. Room was clean n serviced daily .The guesthouse itself has very positive vibes - warm colours with lots of wooden installation.Big pool. We enjoyed using the kitchen to prepare our meals.
Not staying at this place longer .
Friendly staff, well kept place, good location (i had a rental car to get around)
Mr Robin has gone to great lengths to make the property feel like home, and it does. Beautifully clean and in a lovely setting. There is a great pool and ample parking for a hire car, which is recommended. My room, the King room was in such a nice position for privacy and the balcony was perfect for me. Highly recommended and Mr Robin is such a nice person and excellent host. Thank you for everything and for allowing me to share your beautiful property.
As an Englishman, a kettle in the room would have been nice but a kette is available in the communal kitchen along with 3 different types of oven and 3 gas hobs so not a big problem.
If you are looking for a quiet spot, this is it. All you hear are beautiful birds, no traffic. Keep in mind having a car here is a must (or taxis), to get to stores and restaurants. Room was comfortable, AC worked great. The kitchen was large and available if we wanted to use it.Enough outlets for charging including bedside. Breakfast was OK. The bread and pastries are amazing, but the cheese and ham portion was a little on the light side. Good secure units with good parking. Best thing about it is Robin the host. Super friendly, helpful, and responsive!
As mentioned, ham and cheese portions a little small at breakfast. Stepping into the shower is a high step, so you need to be careful.
The host was very accommodating, the property is in a quiet area, you can rent a car at the property at a very reasonable rate. I enjoyed my stay there.
The room should have some mosquito nets or something similar. Besides that there's nothing major to complain about.
The owner Robin was very friendly and competent, helps in everything and his recommendations about the island‘s spot were practical. The room is big and clean, the pool well maintained, open gym, big kitchen, barbecue grill. The location is good if you exploring the south-west of the island.
From check in to check out, all was excellent. Good parking facilities. The host is very welcoming , helpful and very available. Room was clean and spacious ,with good wifi.The exterior terrace of the room is a definite plus They serve a continental breakfast .Good coffee.
I loved the location, very quite, unlike the constant noise you get in the resorts. You need a car, but the host hires them, new cars, cheaper than my car rental. Nice breakfast. Super comfortable bed. Nice pool.
leaving!
Very polite, helpful and kind staff. Excellent hosting. The house beautiful and has such an amazing atmosphere. Captures the nature of Mauritius...I think.
That we didn't stay longer ....it was a very brief stay in our little paradise
The peacefulness, safety and cleanliness. My stay over there was just perfect. Perfect room and perfect pool! Robin has been very helpful and I had a warm welcome!
The guesthouse is very tidy and well kept, Very big and clean pool.Breakfast is good.
The whole vibe, the rooms - spacious, clean and well decorated, the big swimming pool, the gym and spa that we used a lot! The staff are all very helpful and did assist us throughout our stay. The location is ideal to visit the West and South of the Island. Everything was great. We are coming back for our next vacation in April.
