Detta var andra gĂ„ngen jag bodde pĂ„ BRL och precis som förra gĂ„ngen Ă€r jag helnöjd! Bamboo River Lodge Ă€r vackert belĂ€get i ett lugnt omrĂ„de nĂ€ra Beau Vallon. LĂ€get Ă€r sĂ„dant att tillgĂ„ng till hyrbil Ă€r en absolut fördel. BRL öppnade för nĂ„gra Ă„r sedan och Ă€r fortfarande i toppskick, mycket frĂ€scht och snyggt. Studion var mycket stor med uteplats och var makalöst ren och vĂ€ldigt vĂ€lutrustad med allt man kan tĂ€nkas behöva och vilja ha. Det finns en hĂ€rlig pool som kommer vĂ€l till pass nĂ€r den tropiska hettan krĂ€ver svalka. Ägarna och deras personal hĂ„ller stĂ€llet i topptrim och Ă€r diskreta men alltid tillgĂ€ngliga och extremt hjĂ€lpsamma, personliga och vĂ€nliga. Jag kommer mer Ă€n gĂ€rna tillbaka och kallar gĂ€rna Bamboo River Lodge för mitt hem pĂ„ den fantastiska ön Mahe. Tack för denna gĂ„ng och pĂ„ Ă„terseende!

kst fridfullt och trevligt litet hotell.

Hotellet ligger ett par kvarter upp frÄn stora vÀgen, vÀldigt lugnt och fridfullt. Vid sidan rinner en Ä fram och dess brusande har man som bakgrundsljud. TrÀdgÄrden som vi kom rakt ut till frÄn vÄrt rum var vÀlskött och vacker med poolen i mitten. Personalen var mycket vÀnliga och hjÀlpsamma med allt vi behövde hjÀlp med. Kom vi hem med bilen nÀr det regnade stod det nÄgon dÀr med paraply och hjÀlpte oss in. Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse dÀr. Vi hade hyrbil, vilket underlÀttade.

Obwohl wir bereits am ersten Tag mitteilten, dass wir wegen eines Notfalls frĂŒher abreisen mussten. Dieses Nulltoleranz denken, finde ich nicht sehr Kundenfreundlich!!!

Now, I've traveled the world and have had my share of hotel stays, but this hotel is hands down the best! I've never experienced the level of service I received from everyone who worked here. The room I stayed in came with a full kitchen with washer machine, decent bathroom, and view by the pool which was nice. The service attendants were absolutely magnificent! I had piled some clothes in a washer before heading out to explore the island. When I returned, the attendants had not only serviced my room, but had washed and dried my clothes. The owner of the property and his wife were a delight to speak with and over all this was an awesome experience.

VÀldigt bra val i ett lite lugnare omrÄde av Mahe!

Hade sett att detta boende hade högt betyg och det levde upp till det. Byggt frÄn grunden av Àgaren sjÀlv. Generellt saknar ju byggnader det lilla extra i detaljerna i detta landet jmf med Sverige. Men det var verkligen vÀlbyggt och kÀndes nytt och frÀscht. Det gamla paret som Àgde stÀllet och personalen var mycket trevliga. GÄngavstÄnd till Bel Ombre jetty för den som vill ta bÄten över till Silhouette Island. Buss funkar bra och kostar 5kr men för detta boende och Mahe generellt sÄ Àr bil inte sÄ tokigt.
