Citronelle Self Catering Apartment @ Maison Soleil
We were very warmly welcomed. The stay was good and three beaches within walking distance, the way back a bit exhausting. If you have any questions, you will always be helped very courteously and we enjoyed our privacy there very much and would come back at any time

Hill Manor Room 1: Self Catering
The hosts could not have been more accommodating, fetched my daughter from the shuttle and dropped her there again. Well located, clean, safe and neat. Great stay would highly recommend.

Secrets Chalet One
Really lovely clean and well maintained rooms with an easy check-in.

Utupoa Lodge, Kijiji bedroom
Utupoa made me feel so at home, that I didn't want to leave at all :) I stayed for a week and felt so welcome. Joyce is an amazing, kind and very cool woman! With soo many interesting storys, I could listen to her for hours. But not only Joyce was great, her staff was lovely as well and helps with everything. The food is very delicious and freshly cooked. Utupoa is so, so beautiful with a fascinating garden and a huge mainhouse, with lots to see. I love, love, loved the view! The beach is great aswell and much quieter than other places, with viewer beachboys. Snorkeling is awesome with plenty of sealife to see. Mnemba Island is not far away and a must do for diving or snorkling - breathtakingly beautiful! I enjoyed the dinners with the other guests and Joyce, we had lots of fun. I met super cool people :). Utupoa is a home away from home with so much character, heart and sunshine. I would go back any time and hope I can one day. Asante sana Joyce!

SeaFever Bed & Breakfast -The Doudou room
We had a wonderful stay with Connie and her husband. The accommodation is right by the water, offering a fantastic view of Mahebourg Bay. The rooms are nicely decorated and spotless! We would have loved to stay longer, but unfortunately, this was our last stop in Mauritius. Connie is incredibly kind and warm-hearted – she gave us the best tips for sightseeing and delicious places to eat afterward. We highly recommend this accommodation and want to thank you for the great time we had with you! Best regards from Germany and see you soon!

Casa La Ndoto (House of good dreams)- 2 Guestrooms
We didn't get to meet Mario as he was away on business, but we had an excellent stay at Cass Ya Ndoto. We were able to access our rooms on arrival which was well before check-in time. The rooms are huge and beautifully furnished and the home is in a very peaceful part of Nairobi. It was very easy with the security getting in and out of the property, and ubers were always only a few minutes away. The house is in a great location to visit the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre and other attractions like Langata Links. The breakfast was also top notch. Thank you, Mario!

Rose Cottage
Heather’s cottage is a wonderful place to stay in Harare, it is located in a picturesque area of the city with all the facilities one could need. The hostess, Heather, is a fascinating person, kind, respectful and resourceful, I wish I stayed there longer.

"PLACE DES AMOUREUX" bed and breakfast
Best Airbnb of my life! ❤️ Chrystel and her family are adorable. I'm traveling with my 3-year-old son and we really felt like family! Invited to eat pancakes and share good times on the beautiful beach nearby, go see the turtles or a great concert by Chrystel's husband, all artists... The walls are filled with the artworks of the grandmother who is too nice! A warm place in the heart of one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Above all, don't book anything! Chrystel will help you find all the best excursions and restaurants. All the good tips 👍 We ate mangoes and bananas freshly picked from their garden! Paradise!❤️ Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Home Far From Home
We stayed there for a few hours because we had a flight very late at night. We are very grateful that we found Poonam's place because it is only 5 mins from the airport. she was very friendly and welcomed us and made us feel at home. We were able to rest properly before our long flight. Thank you!

Danlee Overnight Accommodation - Luxury Room
Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful space. The place was clean , smelled nice and the lady who welcomed us was great too. Thank you.

The Grace B&B (Solar & Water)
Had a wonderful stay at William's place, was a home away from home. The garden was beautiful. The hospitality was great. Will definitely come again. Highly recommend.

Beauséjour Bed and breakfast 2 steps from the airport
Fabienne is very welcoming, we had a lovely time. The room was very clean with access to the garden. She agreed to serve us breakfast very early before we took our flight. Thanks Fabienne.

A Peace Of Rwanda - Musanze: Bed & Breakfast
Every year, I travel to Musanze to visit a project we have outside of Musanze with my husband and Rwandan colleagues. This time we rented the entire house, A Peace of Rwanda. Sonia is a sweetheart and she was very flexible when we had to change our dates last minute. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean and the wifi is reliable. The bathroom is well appointed, the beds are comfy, and the garden is peaceful and beautiful. However, the thing that made this house the very best was the staff. Patrick and his team made us immediately feel at home. They spoiled us by being so attentive to our needs, even things we didn't know we needed, like cleaning our shoes! In addition to breakfast we had two dinners at the house and the food was delicious and plentiful. That was enormously appreciated after a long day working in the village and without lunch. My colleagues and all agree that this is the best place to stay. We will DEFINITELY be back next year!

LaBambOu, breakfast included at Villa Ti MoOn
We shared magical moments with Nath and Steph, incredible, charming, welcoming hosts, who were able to share their love for Réunion with us. Note that Nath and Steph exhibit the works of local artists in their beautiful villa. I forgot, breakfast is fabulous with homemade products. The rum punch as well.

B&B Pucci House Watamu - Room Jua
"Pola and Alex's BnB exceeded all my expectations! The place boasts stylish, modern furnishings that create a cozy yet chic ambiance. Every morning, I was treated to an amazing breakfast spread, masterfully prepared by their in-house chef. The flavors and variety were exceptional. What's more, the location is perfect — it's very close to the beach and just a short walk to the town center. Despite its proximity to these attractions, the BnB maintains a tranquil atmosphere; I appreciated the quiet nights. Another highlight was the absence of mosquitoes in the room, a common nuisance in beach areas. The fast internet was a boon for both leisure and work. A standout feature of this BnB is the on-site spa. I indulged in daily massages and facials, which were incredibly rejuvenating. This added luxury truly made my stay special. I wholeheartedly recommend Pola and Alex's place for anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, luxury, and convenience. A truly memorable stay!"

Welcoming 8 private room premises & free parking
Funtastic place, they should just separate the description in terms of hosting or booking of entire house which is suitable for family and the of apartment. This place is highly suitable to host a family and private events with sleepover intentions. fustuastic place thought and amazing landscaping and garden

Bed and breakfast - Bamboo Room
Fabulous haven of peace. Ideal for visiting a very large number of sites: Belouve, Bebour, Piton Ste Rose and the lava flows, Anse des Cascades, Salazie, Piton de la Fournaise, Cascade de Takamaka. We regret only booking two nights as there are so many sites to see. The view from the dining room over the palm grove is stunning. We really enjoyed sharing meals with our hosts. What friendly exchanges around a delicious meal. William and Laurène are excellent 4-hand cooks and are very attentive. We discovered cooking pots over a wood fire and enjoyed the hearty local breakfasts. Thank you both for your kindness and for this delicious moment.

A haven of tranquillity: en-suite spacious double
I'd suggest you book at least three days to fully enjoy the house and the area. The views are amazing and the air is so fresh and crisp. The house fits right in with its amazing architecture and decor.

The Bright and Golden room
We had a wonderful stay. Catherine welcomed us, she was warm and kind. Catherine went out of our way to make us feel special. The accommodation was super comfortable with everything we needed for our trip. This place is a gem, perfectly located - close to shops and restaurants. We will definitely be returning guests!

Urban Tiger @TheZoo
I had an absolutely amazing stay! The property is a true gem, offering a stunning pool, a beautifully maintained outside garden, and a cozy chilling area that’s perfect for relaxation. The dining area was elegant, and having breakfast included was such a treat. I also loved the option to order snacks and beverages, billed conveniently later—plus, the fresh mangoes were delightful! The thoughtful touches, like a gown and slippers waiting for me, made the experience feel luxurious. The interior is truly 5-star, blending comfort with style. The host was incredibly attentive and always available to assist, which added a personal and welcoming touch. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect blend of luxury and hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning!

Bed&Breakfast Shwari House Green Room
Sarah and Saidi are amazing hosts who made my husband and I feel extremely welcome, supported, and comfortable in Jambiani. Truly, we would have been lost without them and their welcoming and kind nature. The space was lovely - tidy, clean, and restorative. The bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed to feel settled and at home. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast every morning (Sarah makes the BEST coffee I had in all of Zanzibar). The location of the AirBnB is easily accessible to the bus, tuk-tuks, and multiple markets. It’s a quick walk to the beach and to good restaurants. And, importantly to us - the area was calm and quiet each night. We enjoyed staying with them so much, that we have extended our stay multiple times and will also be staying in the other room they have available. These lovely humans have made us feel at home and even further- like family.

Beautiful en-suite Yamo with Breakfast at CasaHera
After a safari in Kenya, we chose Casa Hera in Diani Beach for some relaxation, and it was the perfect choice! The house is spotless, with beautifully maintained common areas that are ideal for unwinding. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, setting us up perfectly for the day. Our spacious room, complete with a private bathroom, was tastefully decorated, making every corner feel welcoming and comfortable. Michele provided excellent local tips, from restaurants to activities, and even arranged a visit to Mama Lorenza's Vocational Centre, which we greatly appreciated. Casa Hera truly felt like home, and we can't wait to return. Asante Sana!
