친절해요

모두 친절했고, 에어컨 잘되고 개미도없고 진짜 깔끔하게 잘 관리하신거같습니다. 다만 침대나 짧고 불편해서 숙면하기에는 적합한 메트리스는 아닙니다. 또한 식기가 매우 부족하고 작아요. 가족 단위로가서 요리를 해먹기에는 매우 불편함이있을겁니다. 장소가 애매해서 차가 필수입니다. 근처 레스토랑 위치도 애매해서 음식 주문하고싶었는데, 현금이 부족해서 주문 못했어요. 일부 금액을 더 내더라도, 카드가 된다면 좋을거같네요.

Detta var andra gången jag bodde på BRL och precis som förra gången är jag helnöjd! Bamboo River Lodge är vackert beläget i ett lugnt område nära Beau Vallon. Läget är sådant att tillgång till hyrbil är en absolut fördel. BRL öppnade för några år sedan och är fortfarande i toppskick, mycket fräscht och snyggt. Studion var mycket stor med uteplats och var makalöst ren och väldigt välutrustad med allt man kan tänkas behöva och vilja ha. Det finns en härlig pool som kommer väl till pass när den tropiska hettan kräver svalka. Ägarna och deras personal håller stället i topptrim och är diskreta men alltid tillgängliga och extremt hjälpsamma, personliga och vänliga. Jag kommer mer än gärna tillbaka och kallar gärna Bamboo River Lodge för mitt hem på den fantastiska ön Mahe. Tack för denna gång och på återseende!

kst fridfullt och trevligt litet hotell.

Hotellet ligger ett par kvarter upp från stora vägen, väldigt lugnt och fridfullt. Vid sidan rinner en å fram och dess brusande har man som bakgrundsljud. Trädgården som vi kom rakt ut till från vårt rum var välskött och vacker med poolen i mitten. Personalen var mycket vänliga och hjälpsamma med allt vi behövde hjälp med. Kom vi hem med bilen när det regnade stod det någon där med paraply och hjälpte oss in. Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse där. Vi hade hyrbil, vilket underlättade. Har man inte det får man gå några kvarter från busshållplatsen ner vid vägen, men det fungerar säkert bra det också.

Anlage, appartment waren gut und gepflegt. Auch das Servicepersonal waren gut. Leider kamen uns die Inhaber betreffend 3stornierten Nächten, nicht einen Schritt entgegen. Obwohl wir bereits am ersten Tag mitteilten, dass wir wegen eines Notfalls früher abreisen mussten. Dieses Nulltoleranz denken, finde ich nicht sehr Kundenfreundlich!!!

Now, I've traveled the world and have had my share of hotel stays, but this hotel is hands down the best! I've never experienced the level of service I received from everyone who worked here. The room I stayed in came with a full kitchen with washer machine, decent bathroom, and view by the pool which was nice. The service attendants were absolutely magnificent! I had piled some clothes in a washer before heading out to explore the island. When I returned, the attendants had not only serviced my room, but had washed and dried my clothes. The owner of the property and his wife were a delight to speak with and over all this was an awesome experience.
