    Cockroach in the shower upon arrival, and another crawling around my luggage. The room was small enough, didn't enjoy sharing with bugs.. No soap in the bathroom, no toilet paper either.

    The fact that I had a place to sleep. I arrived late. But the elderly host woke up to check me in. Breakfast was made right in front of me which was cute, super basic, but filling. I am grateful. Nice surrounding views, like the vast waters, and local streets..

    Lock of my room went broken and I had to pay it. I had to pay for storing my luggage few hours before my flight left. I couldn't charge my phone in my room and there was often electricity powercut

    Breakfast was same everyday, one bread, one egg and instant coffee. View from terrace was nice to the river and I got good information how I can travel by bus in island

    We were in transit so we didn't have soap neither towels and they didn't provide us this facilities. We agreed to check out a little bit later than 11am because I travel alone with toddler but at the last moment they pressure me to leave.

    The host was very kind and people we met there were interesting.

    The worst hotel I've ever stayed in the hundreds of hotels in over 30 countries.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was filthy - They didn't change the bedding. There was no hot water in the shower. There was no shampoo or soap. The faucet was broken and the male owner was blaming me for breaking it. He was an old man with very bad temper and stingy too. He asked me to increase the temperature of the AC to save electricity! The parking situation was even worse - there is very little space for parking the vehicle on the street. There might have been arguments with the neighbors in the past so the owner was very strict with how close you need to get to the curb. It was definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed anywhere in the world - I've travelled to more than 30 countries and stayed at hundreds of hotels.

    Nothing.

    Bit of a lack of privacy/thin walls, but not a problem for a short stay.

    We skipped breakfast, but had no trouble getting extra coffee after the breakfast time.

    Everything was wonderful! We originally booked for just one night but ended up staying a few more. It’s a family-run business, and Mala and Vishnu truly made us feel like we were at home. My children especially enjoyed spending time with her. The room was cleaned every other day during our stay, which was great. The breakfast was simple but satisfying and kept us energized for the day.

    Nothing to dislike as met all our expectations

    My wife and I loved staying at La Bamboo Guesthouse - just our taste in Lonely Planet old- school backpackers accommodation. The house was quite a maze and we had one of the rooms with terrace overlooking the river. Had everything we could possibly need and Mala and her husband Vishnu couldn’t have been more helpful with simple breakfast to set us up for the day. The beautiful Blue Bay is only 15 minutes away on local bus - well worth the rs30 bus fare just for the trip. Short walk to several supermarkets and bus terminal short walking distance.

    Unfortunately the requested bicycles were no longer available. The credit card machine wasn't working, Hot water has restricted hours,which might inconvenience some.

    The property is located very close to the bus station and the Waterfront walkway,It is also in an easy walk to two good¬sized supermarkets where you could buy drink and provisions for storage in the owners' easily accessable fridge.The tap water is drinkable at the property It is a cozy GH and very sociable,The owners are friendly and helpful and one or other was always available.The decor is a little tired but is full of character, The floor was immaculately cleaned and mopped throughout the day,There is a beautiful panorama towards the Cavendish Bridge from the upstairs balcony.My room was functional and the bed was comfy,Breakfast was included though lacked variation (bread,jam,omelette,tea/coffee) however it was greatly welcomed. I actually visited the property twice,The first 3 days were scheduled but the second occassion was the consequence of Cyclone Belal. I was due to fly home,but was tol;d to leave the airport.I turned up unannounced at the property to be told it was full.However,the kind lady made a family room available for me and was told to 'think of me as your older sister !' I will be forever thankful for her kindness and for her understanding of the situation,

    Rooms not inviting, we did not stay the night we left the property we did not ask for a refund it was very cheap aircon not working, no mattress protector on beds, mattress far too soft we left as it was not to our liking, felt like we were staying in someones home which might suit some people, not what we expected. Dark rooms gloomy

    Traditional Mauritian guest house. Very comfortable.The location was very convenient, close to ATM's, supermarkets, the waterfront and bus terminus.Good restaurants nearby. Blue Bay was only ten minutes away by bus. A beautiful beach. The museum was well worth a visit. Short drive from the airport.
