Reviews of Les Lauriers Eco Hotel

Location, staff were very friendly and attentive.

Wifi was not working properly.

Good location. Our room was spacious and clean.

The breakfast cooks were friendly, everyone else seemed to just tolerate us. No “hello“ or “good morning” from anyone. Maybe because we don’t speak French? Or that’s just the European culture? The kids pool was dirty. It wasn’t that deep and couldn’t even see the bottom. Algae could be scraped off the side.

Really nice facilities and a great restaurant. The room was also great. We loved the outdoor shower.

Some staff members were not so nice, overall the property was maintained well, but the backyard was really dirty with lots of garbage and plastic lying around. The breakfast could have been better.

The hotel was easy to book with and pre arrival communication was excellent. A transfer from the ferry was organised and was as requested, a great start. My room was large and furnished to a high standard. Everything worked as it should. The entire staff were trained to a high standard and were always available and willing to help. Ronelle was a mine of information and arranged taxi rides, ferry trips, bicycle hire and local tours. Effie was patient helping with internet settings. Fantastic service!! Breakfast included a wide range of food, lunch and dinner a la carte provided a good choice of cooking styles. Great fresh local ingredients cooked simply and well. Prices were appropriate and good value. Service was excellent. Room and shower facilities for refreshing between check out and late departure was a thoughtful free addition. Local beach must rate as one of the best in the world.

Pool towels could be placed near to the pool, not away in the reception.

We liked everything! Warm welcoming, great breakfast, spacious room and outstanding atmosphere. Hotel is located around 2 minutes walk from the beach and is organising cruises and Kreole dinners. Thank you for great few days we had at your place!

Amazing staff, super friendly and helpful with any queries. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Very clean rooms, comfortable with all necessary amenities. Location was easily accessible, just near the main road and not far from the jetty.

Everything, from the location to the food, amenities and the staff.

We wanted to stay in a Creole style hotel to get the genuine feel of their culture. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had the Creole BBQ Dinner upon our arrival which was delicious! The owners involvement in the operations of the hotel was delightful! Highly recommended!

Property is amazing, rooms are big and bed very comfy. Staff is very helpful.

Choice food (breakfast and dinner) was a bit limited. Check-out time is a bit early.

We absolutely loved our stay! The food was delicious, with the Creole buffet on Saturday standing out as a real highlight — simply amazing. The outdoor area is stunning, with a beautiful pool and a charming, tastefully designed setting. The room was cozy and comfortable, featuring a spacious bathroom with a luxurious double shower. We also loved the outdoor shower at the back of the villa — such a special touch that made the experience even more memorable. The service was excellent from start to finish, with a special mention to the bartender Rasika, who was always incredibly attentive and professional. The owners are clearly very dedicated and take care of every detail, which is evident throughout the whole experience. We highly recommend it!

Perfect position, like as if you were in the middle of a beautiful jungle. Perfect oasis to chill and relax. One of the most beautifully positioned pools I have ever seen. The staff is very friendly, we would specially say Hi to our Sri Lanka waiter friend who was very kind:)

No remarks

Just excellent. Both the facilities and the personnel were outstanding.

The villa apartment is extremely pretty and has a very handy outside shower and an amazing terrace where to spend the evening. Special mention goes to the pool bar. The bartender has a very good personality and every drink has been a 10/10, a must have in this hotel.

A beautiful hotel very clean with very tasty food and nice stuff. Room big and very large bathroom. Hotel is second line to the beach but it is not a problem as there are several places you can re a bed for the day on the beach.

Beautiful, friendly and delicious! The rooms and the general aesthetics of the hotel were clean, comfortable and beautiful. It felt both very exclusive and intimate. We had a great time, the food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and friendly! The hotel is located close to nice local restaurants and a long beautiful beach – perfect for morning or evening runs. The beach in front of the hotel had a lot of washed up seaweed (supposedly it’s seasonal) and in comparison to the islands other more popular beaches it didn’t compare, but pretty nonetheless. There were many families with younger children staying in the hotel. We got to borrow a volleyball for the time we stayed there which was much appreciated as I traveled with my family where we are four guys (age 18+). There were also table tennis and similar activities by the poolside. Overall had a lovely experience. Would definitely come back!

Personally I didn’t need the tortoises on the premise. They were caged in the back of the hotel. I found it to be a small, rather dirty, enclosure for the giant and large amount in it. The 9 would have been a 10 if it wasn’t for this. There are plenty of places (and excursions) where you can meet them roaming around freely. Wholly recommend this instead, for anyone that wants a close up encounter with these precious animals.

We loved everything! Beautiful decorated, very clean and friendly staff. Nice swimmingpool, good food and lovely garden. If you want to eat outside the hotel, there are nice restaurants and take away. Next to hotel are little shops and mini markets. Across the road is the beach. We rent a car from reception and was good. Great place to enjoy Praslin.

The Tortoises are good looked after by the staff, but more space would be great.

Overall look and feel, pool, beautiful beach close by, friendly staff.

We didn’t like the pillows.

This was by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at!! Not only was the place spotless clean and beautifully decorated, but also were the food and drinks offered (including the exceptional buffet) absolutely amazing. What really stands out though is the wonderful staff! Every single staff member I’ve met, from the owner to the receptionist to bar tenders, waiters and cleaning staff, was incredibly polite and friendly. When I accidentally left my jacket at the hotel, they made sure to get it to me on Mahé in time! I’m forever thankful for that. All in all, 10/10, loved it!!!

If I have to find something, it’d be the rather thin walls - you’d have to get used to waking up from birds chirping.

The hotel was very comfortable and clean. Every possibility that could be needed was thought of. The ambiance was very nice. The food in the restaurant is very tasty and it has the best restaurant in the area. It has a satisfying breakfast. Sibill and her team worked hard for our satisfaction. Thank you.

We were told that there was no room service and when we asked for water, they asked us to get it from the restaurant. The pool was under renovation but we were not informed about this.
