Great place to stay. The rooms have AC and the pool is nice and refreshing. Kenito speaks English which is very helpful and he made our trip much much easier. He arranged a car rental for us. When we broke down on the side of the road and called him, he immediately sent someone with another car to switch with us. Highly recommend!

Breakfast was fine - nothing special. Room was clean. Neighborhood was visually not pleasant. However, the whole city is that way. One would not come to visit the city. The people are very friendly and it is a safe city.

The staff were incredibly helpful and the location was wonderful. They weren’t really busy while I was there so they upgraded my room, which was very thoughtful and generous. Would definitely stay there again. Value for money was ok, would have been better value if breakfast had been included. Restaurants close by and easy walking distance so not a problem

The staff were sweet and the management is trying hard to bring positive influence such that the hotel staff could be come competent at service. Wifi works most time, though it was out for a few hours during my stay. I was upgraded which was appreciated, but was also only because thee were no other rooms with functioning AC, fans, in the category I booked.

The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.

They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations.
Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree.
The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights.
The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables.
In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central,
You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese.
No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

It´s a Paradise!!!
It´s a Paradise!!!
You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes.
You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name.
Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

Language barrier is too problematic.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand.
Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble.
Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal!
Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view!
Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched.
There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce.
The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going.
The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
From the capital (Sao Tome) , you will have a beautiful , yet challenging road ahead (approximately 2,5 hours, heaviest is Porto Alegre, even for a 4x4). But it is a reason to take it. The lodge is on a beautiful and breathtaking cliff. Amazing views. Driving in to the ecolodge area is just amazing. Pineapples all around, not to mention the rest. The cottage was spik and span and comfy. Different viewsites with well built platforms to do that. Beach within walking distance. Lot of different surfaces (rocks, sand, plants etc.)
The owner, Nilda, is a genuinely nice and friendly lady who is very helpful. She coordinated with a money changer for our Euros to Dobras at a better exchange rate than anyone else. Our room was simple but clean and comfortable. The shared bathroom was also very clean. Free street parking and strong Wifi are two pluses. We used this casa as our base to explore São Tomé and it was perfect. Lots of great restaurants in town and easy to explore the north, central and southern sections of the island from here.
It's a very big house: bedroom with private bathroom, living room, fully equiped kitchen, terrace and a beach. And we were there alone (with two lovely dogs). The house is so comfortable that we stayed longer than we planned. We bought all food we needed in a big supermarket in Sao Tome city. It's ideal place for independent travelers. Communication with the host was very good, we were taken from and to the airport, the house was guarded at nights. We felt very safe during all our journey..
The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is also located only a short 5 minute walk to various restaurants and places of interest in Sao Tome. The owner was very responsive and even helped arrange to puck me up at airport. This is truly a guest house with only two rooms and no reception/hotel desk; however, owner is available by phone and has made arrangements/partnered with connected businesses to help. Highly Recommend!
The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.
Casa Luis is a beautiful house who’s owners are absolutely adorable! We only spent one night there in between Sao Tomé and Principe but we had a lovely time. We were very warmly welcomed and our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace in the morning facing the view was a very good time as well. Also, the location close to the airport is super convenient. Definitely recommend it!
Nice hotel not far from the sea. I particularly remember the great atmosphere and the friendliness of the ambitious staff. Breakfast was fine, freshly prepared egg variations and fresh fruit. Very helpful: the free late check-out on the last day. I was a guest for a week and really enjoyed my time. Thanks for all. And greetings from Germany.
Excellent location within walking distance to the heart of the city but still quiet and tranquil. The owners were extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for days trips, activities and restaurants. They arranged a vehicle rental for us and a day trip to a beautiful island off the south shore of Sao Tome.
The owners were very nice, they came to pick us up at the airport and help us to have a sim
Card. The hotel is very clean and the room is comfortable with AC and a bathroom. The breakfast is good with fresh fruit, juice and omelet on the roof well decorated. Very good value for money - we recommend!
The breakfast was simple, but one of the better ones we had in Sao Tome. It is close to downtown so it's easy to get markets, fresh bread, and groceries nearby. This is a budget hotel and it is Africa so the wife and power go out sometimes, but the AC worked well; that was a huge plus.
What a nice stsy, the lady of the house is amazing,, on top of things and helping out at all times
Small but delicious breakfast, freh local fruits
Free shower at 5 pm on last day and a big hug.
I spend 200 days a year in hotels, but this is an overall experience to remember 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was one of my favourite places in Sao Tome! The bungalow was so nice and the whole property is very beautiful. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was super good. I really recommend this place and will return when I come back to this island
The hotel is close to the airport, it is a new establishment with spacious, clean rooms and good breakfast.
Kenito is a fantastic and considerate host.
He helps you out with anything you might request.
Definitely felt very welcome.
I recommend it.
Nice and clean place, conveniently located in the capital Sao Tome. Communication with the property was good, they can help you with organising a tour, renting a car and finding a driver.
Basic hotel, but is in center. Aircon, good breakfast, omlete, ham, cheese,, many fruits, smoothie.
Good character, helped me with the rental car and also giving me a discount.
Very nice location, good starting point for exploration. Very "Westerner" friendly setup, comparable with European 4* hotels. Friendly staff and beautiful Infinity pool
- proximity to airport (walking distance)
- very helpfull staff: they had arranged currency exchange, kept my lagguage for a week when I left Sao Tome to Principie!
Amazing property, helpful hosts, nice pool. We were met at the airport, so fully recommend this hotel to other guests. Pleasant breakfast for additional price.
