4/10 Poor

Jenny was lovely and helpful. Travis lacks people skills. He was arrogant and acted petulant after a discussion about a key disaster at the house. He would be preparing food and washing up at midnight with the kitchen right next to our bedroom, clanging crockery on the tiled bench, keeping me awake. Someone was slushing out the bathroom next to us at 10.30 at night when we were trying to sleep. The house was very hot. The bathroom was dank and smelt musty. It took 3 days fir things to dry in there. No airflow. The beach near the house is full fishing boats and fishing gear. Buses come in the hour to get around the island.

Nettes kleines Gästehaus, kein Luxustempel. Zweckmäßig eingerichtet, nette Gastgeber welche im gleichen Haus wohnen. Zimmer sind sauber, relativ klein, wenig Platz für Gepäck + Kleidung. Badezimmer ist außerhalb vom Zimmer, aber nur ein paar Schritte. Klima im Zimmer, etwas nervig sind an manchen Abenden / Nachts die Kläffer der Nachbarn, wer einen leichten Schlaf hat, Ohrenstöpsel nicht vergessen. Frühstück kann man vor Ort dazu buchen, aber 10,-€ pro Tag/Nase finde ich zuviel für das was angeboten wird. Selbstverpflegung problemlos machbar, Kühlschrank vorhanden, Wasserkocher + Kaffeemaschiene ebenso, fußläufig mehrere kleine Supermärkte in der Nähe. Wer mag, kann sich von der Gastgeberin auch ein Essen am Abend (nach Absprache) kochen lassen, sehr empfehlenswert! Bushaltestelle ca 100m entfernt, damit läßt sich Mahe auch gut erkunden und je Fahrt zahlt man nur 7 Rupis/Pers.(ca 50 Cent). Insgesamt ein angenehmer Aufenthalt mit sehr netten Gastgebern.

8/10 Good

Having read the previous reviews before booking, we knew going in that the hotel was more of an "Air Bnb" or home stay. The family who runs Villa Bethlehem live on site, on the second floor, and the kitchen/living room/restroom/bedrooms are on the main floor. It certainly feels like a home as opposed to a hotel. The staff was very friendly and more than happy to share their experience with the various tourist sites and beaches of the island. We had rented a car, and the place was easy to find, with ample parking. When we arrived, they were waiting for us, and we had no problems checking in. The room was clean and had working air conditioning. They offered to cook us meals (for a fee, obviously), but also let us have access to their fridge/utensils free of charge. The only thing that I was particularly unhappy about was that they wanted to charge was 1 euro per piece of clothing for laundry. I was certainly not interested in spending almost 30 euros to do laundry for the two of us! In the end, we just got a laundry detergent bar of soap from a store close by and did it ourselves. Overall, I enjoyed the place and would definitely come back if staying in Mahe again!

Our stay was short but was well received. The staff are friendly and helpful. Location is quiet and ideal for a short get away from the normal busy routine of our lives.

Un bed and breakfast economico a Mahe'

Siamo stati 10 notti con mezza pensione e la descrizione della camera non corrispondeva alla realtà: la nostra era al secondo piano con un bagno per noi a parte, ma il televisore c'e' solo al pian terreno e non in camera. La camera è piccola ed essenziale ma pulita e il letto comodo.

学生時代を思い出させるようなホームステイ感覚ホテル

自宅を改装してホテルとして売り出しているもので、格安リゾートホテルと勘違いされて宿泊して悪評価するお客さんも多いそうです。 イメージとしてはホームステイです。学生時代にカリフォルニア州でホームステイしていたのでその時と同じ環境で、色々思い出に浸ってしまいました。 まず小さなスーパーマーケットが数件近所にあること、徒歩1分で首都・ヴィクトリア行きのバス(9、11番)があって、小さな堤防を越えれば紺碧のビーチ！遠浅なのでフィンソックスやラッシュガードがあると尚更いいです、またシュノーケリング初心者にもちょうどいいビーチです！ 食事に関しては朝食がパンやシリアル、コーヒー、紅茶、ココアなど準備されています。オーナーがWワークともあり、寝坊した場合は冷蔵庫に保管されています、他セルフサービスです。キッチンは使用禁止、(火事防止のため)、夕食は自分で調達するか、オーナーに要相談。ネガティブなところは近所にATMも両替所が全くないところ。お金は事前に準備する必要非常にあって、ガイドブック等にはユーロや米ドルが必要とか書いてありますが、セイシェルルピー必須です。空港送迎(ホテルと提携してるタクシー運転手)はおおよそ500セイシェルルピー/片道で米ドルやユーロでは受け取ってくれません。 今回僕はひとりバックパッカーで宿泊しましたがほとんどが家族旅行や夫婦旅行、新婚旅行でした。 使った食器は自分で洗ってしまう、そんなシステムです。Wi-Fi強度はアフリカの国の中でも比較的いいでしょう、ただ時たま動かなくなったりします。1Fの共有スペースにルーターがあるので共有スペースでネットワーク作業が必要な場合はするといいでしょう！ 最後に事前決済のほうがお金のトラブルを避けられるのでお勧めします。その方がExpedia上でも安く決済できるので一石二鳥です。 子犬が一匹いますので動物アレルギーの方にはおすすめしません。 最後に、自宅を改装したホテルです、ホームステイのようなホテル、システムです。

Hotellet ligger till så att en hyrbil/ taxi rekommenderas om man inte har något emot en lokalbuss. Fina stränder i närheten men långt till liten matbutik och restaurang. Meddela hotellet i förväg om middag önskas, annars har de inte råvaror hemma.

Super hébergement et emplacement

Excellent rapport qualite prix, villa loin de la route au calme, disponibilité et gentillesse des propriétaires, nous avons fait un passage eclair mais nous y reviendrons assurement ! Vivement recommandé ! En revanche pensez bien a voys imprimer le trajet à l avance il est difficile de la trouver (si vous etes perdus demander au poste de police des environs)

Villa chaleureuse et humaine

Nous avons été très bien accueillis. Jeany et Travis sont à l'écoute de leurs hôtes et de véritables ambassadeurs de leur superbe île. On les remercie encore pour les rencontres de leurs proches et amis Seychellois. Nous concernant, Merci à eux pour la suite de notre séjour à Praslin. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et très bon. Nous recommandons fortement aux couples de découvrir cette villa de charme tenus par Jeany et Travis, les propriétaires et non par du personnel.

Comme à la maison

Nous sommes restés 2 nuits à la villa bethlem, et nous avons bien apprécié l'hospitalité des hôtes. La chambre etait propre,lit king,grande salle de bain très propre. Nous n'avons pas mangé sur place, mais d'autres clients profitaient de ce service, et ça avait l'air d'être excellent ( ça sentait très bon ) .le café et le thé sont inclus, ainsi qu'une boisson de bienvenue. La climatisation était parfaite. Les propriétaires travaillent dur pour faire de leur maison, notre maison. Nous y sommes comme chez nous. Le petit point à travailler est la signalisation pour arriver à la maison. En fait, quand on sait que le restaurant chez Plume est juste à 200m, ça facilite les choses ( plus au sud ). Donc je recommande cet endroit aux personnes qui veulent la tranquillité, une bonne compagnie , et un excellent rapport qualité -prix .

2/10 Terrible

Etablissement à retirer des catalogues. Aucun services rendus, notre prise en en charge à l'aéroport n'a pas été effectuée comme convenu heureusement qu 'un chauffeur de taxi connaissait cette villa vu notre arrivée tardive ce qui nous a coûté 45 euros pour 10 Kms. Aucune proposition de petit déjeuner le lendemain matin, nous sommes donc repartis le ventre vide heureusement que nous ne sommes restés qu une nuit. Enfin pour communiquer par mail avec cette établissement il faut en envoyer une demi douzaine et attendre 2 semaines pour avoir une réponse. A oublier !!!

Chambre confortable chez l'habitant

De passage pour une nuit, nous avons été accueillis par la nièce de la propriétaire qui nous a dit que sa tante arriverait d'ici 15 min mais une heure plus tard toujours personne. La chambre est très bien: un lit king size et une salle de bain avec une grande baignoire à 2 min de la plage. La propriétaire est gentille, elle peut parfois cuisiner le repas du soir sinon il y a un très bon resto à 3 min à pieds (chez plume, auberge anse boileau) il manque tout de même des indications pour trouver le gite (absence de panneau sur la route principale, heureusement nous avons rencontré un seychellois très aimable qui nous a conduit au logement; un panneau devrait être installé bientôt...) mais dans l'ensemble nous avons passé une bonne nuit

4/10 Poor

Beschrijving van het hotel en de faciliteiten zijn niet volgens de realiteit. Het is geen hotel en is nog niet af. De ligging op het eiland is ook in de slechter deel, lastig bereikbaar en het strand is af te raden. Kortom het geld niet waarde. De kamer was schoon en het bed confortable . De eigenaresse is aardig maar er is niemand daar om je te ontvangen bij de aankomst.

Accueil personnel dans une famille Seychelloise

Nous sommes reçus comme à la maison par Travis et Jeanny, dans leur maison située dans un quartier habité par de "vrais Seychellois", (peu de touristes), à 100 m de la plage et de départs d'excursions.

6/10 Okay

Chambre non conforme à ce qui était indiqué sur le site : plus petite et pas de salle de bain. Mais pour notre dernière courte nuit aux Seychelles, c'était suffisant mais ca reste moyen. Proprietaire très serviable toutefois
