This place is near a lot of greenery, so need to be careful about mosquitoes here.

The hosts are super friendly and loving. We talked a lot with them about our cultures, living, food, religion, etc. One will love to spend time with them. And the lady is an amazing cook. She cooked a very delicious breakfast for us even though we are vegetarians. Also, they have two cute dogs which made my stay more fun.

Because a household with dogs, there was a bit of a lingering smell in the room. Very minor and easily fixable. Other than that, was just sad to go!

Joyce and her family were absolutely lovely and welcoming! You really get to hear and experience what everyday Mauritian life is like! Their house is at the end of a quiet road and about 10 mins walk from Pereybere beach or 5 mins to the nearest bus stop which can take you to Grand Baie/Trou Aux Biches. The property is a bit dated and the room itself is basic and simple but a comfortable stay nonetheless. It’s not super clear on the details on Booking.com when booking but they do have two dogs and also there are family members that smoke. Wasn’t a problem for me but something to consider if that bothers you. Lastly, Joyce will feed you! The breakfasts were plentiful and she made a fantastic dinner (additional charge of €15/RS750) - fish stew to my request which was lovely and delicious! I wish I could have stayed longer, for her hospitality if not for her food!

The hosts were a lovely couple and made us very welcome, they were happy to share lots of information about Mauritius. The room was quite old and tired with broken electric sockets behind the bed. We weren't able to lock the bedroom door which was a first for us but we were told this was normal in Mauritius. We had dinner at Chez Nous on the first night, the food was very good, Joyce is a great chef but unfortunately she didn't join us for dinner as she had another engagement, her husband joined us but didn't eat. When we got the bill we were a bit surprised at the price as we didn't think it was good value in comparison to other places across the island but perhaps that was our fault for not clarifying the price first. Kindly gave us a late check out.

We received a different room than the one which was pictured in our booking (with some red suitcases on the wardrobe, why didn't the owner move them somewhere else?). In several places the paint on the celling was peeling off showning black, dampned walls. The room smelled of mold. We decided to leave the same day. The apartment owner did not agree to a refund and we had to open a query with booking.com. Hudge disappointment.

We did not stay in this place due mold in our room, but on the ground floor it did not smell of mold, so I guess that if you receive a room on the ground floor instead of upper floors, then it's fine. But I don't recommend in case you do receive the room on the upper floor (like we did).

The owners of the house are very friendly, open-hearted, kind, simply amazing. The stay was very pleasant. Thank you :)

Nothing. We loved it. A small guest fridge would be useful, but not in the room (usually too noisy).

Being an introvert and in need of lots of space, I am often nervous of true homestays, although I do them regularly. This one was such a wonderful experience. Own room and bathroom, basic but spacious, close to the beach. Joyce is a powerhouse businesswoman, cook, accountant, mom, daughter aunt, partner alongside Elian and mom, sister, kids, friends, dogs. We were included in New year festivities and Mauritian dinner as part of the family. What a great stay. No wonder people keep coming back.

The A/C was broken, but just a minor inconvenience - they provided a fan instead.

Loved staying and getting to know Joyce and her family - they are very nice people, who helped us to plan and book our daily activities to learn more about the beautiful island. Definitely somebody to keep in touch even after the trip ends. Breakfast was delicious, Joyce is a talented cook! Also they have a pool to cool off and two cute dogs. We appreciate the heart they put into making our stay an unforgettable experience. <3

Definitely NO GO! I texted the hosts a few days before our arrival that I had just found out about them having a few dogs and that it was a big problem for me. I did not know that information before because it was not mentioned anywhere in the description of the accomodation (I (luckily) randomly found out from a rewiev!!) Since I have a very strong allergy (and not mentioning my boyfriend's panic fear of dogs) I find this information very important. The hosts did not even bother to text me back. I also requested them for a free cancellation (Booking offers this possibility on their website) but AGAIN they ignored it. They were clearly just waiting for the money and did not care about anything else. I think that this is a very rude and impolite behaviour,maybe even fraudulent! I dont think that's how a decent person should behave. We never went there and ended up finding a new accomodation which was much better and even cheaper.
