Au Domnatur fair review

Amazing location right in the heart of the national park so a really good spot to be based from. The high level bungalows are a steep 5-7 minute walk from reception. Advantages - great views across the rainforest canopies / Disadvantages - not at all suitable for those with accessibility needs and quite basic furnishings but to be honest we only used them to sleep in. Included breakfast was very good and wholesome. We only ate there one night for dinner and whilst convenient if you’re tired, there are better places in the village 5 minutes ride away.

Very old bungalow, badly maintained. Lovely surroundings and view. It hasn't the swimming pool advertised on the internet. Nice staff. We didn't eat, just had breakfast, and it was correct. They charge more taxes (4000A/night) than the tourist one (1000 A/night) indicated in the reservation.

The hotel is in the NP, that makes it convenient but other than that. Our bungalow smelt very musty, it had a small refrigerator but it didn’t even have a cord to plug it in. The lamp had no bulb, the shower leaked water all over the bathroom floor. A very old location which has been poorly maintained over many years.

Ranomafana honeymoon trip

Wonderful location, great views and excellent service. Big breakfast with fruit, pancakes, bread & jam and omelette. Bathroom needed some maintenance (no shower fixing and shower tray leaked). Tap water does come out brown sometimes. Lots of wildlife visible in the grounds too. Overall we were glad we stayed here for 3 nights.

The views are awesome and the big glassdoors and balcony help with enjoying the scenery. The garden is very nice. Yet, in our first bungalow the toilet had problems, the lights flickered, the mattress was lumpy and the fridge didn't work. So, we changed to another bungalow. The fridge again didn't work, but the rest was ok. Parking was kind of insecure just next to the busy road. Dinner and breakfast were ok. Plus points for the service to bring tea to the room and organise a guide.

We stayed two nights in two rooms while visiting the National park. The rooms look out onto the forest and have balconies where you can relax and enjoy the view. It is a short drive to the village and the National Park. The staff were attentive and helpful and the food was good - especially breakfast. Sadly the damage caused by cyclones over the last two years mean some rooms are still being repaired and the pool is out of order. I was upgraded to a junior suite which was very comfortable.

The smell of mold, the rotted deck boards, the breakfast (American) was 45,000 Ar vs other (better) hotels at 18,000 Ar. So very disappointed, we woke up early in order to leave immediately.

The staff here were brilliant. Friendly, helpful and attentive, arranging or helping with many things, including our onward travel. Food was excellent. The location and setting were superb, immersed in the forest and close to the park entrance. The hotel lets itself down with a disappointing 'tiredness' and lack of maintenance. This, however, did not spoil our experience here and we would happily visit again.

Great views from the bungalows! This place looks good, rooms as well however the bathroom is run down, having said that the shower still was nice and hot. Overall it could do with a bit of updating but still we had a nice experience and thought the overall reviews are a bit too negative. Nice staff and nothing beats these views!

Beautiful place, the owner is very hospitable and the staff very kind. They made our stay fantastic. We stayed in the juior suite, that had a great view with a nice terrace and a small river next to it. The food was fantastic and no inconveniences afterwards :) The room could use some small renovations, but all the rest made up for that.

Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir direkt eine Nacht verlängert haben! Schon am ersten Abend wurden wir von einem Fahrer in Fianarantsoa abgeholt – der Eigentümer hat uns dabei wirklich sehr geholfen. Auch während unseres Aufenthalts stand er uns jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, sei es beim Buchen eines Busses, der Organisation eines Guides oder mit wertvollen Informationen zur Umgebung. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet! Wir haben nur vegetarisch gegessen und dennoch wurde uns jedes Mal ein besonderes Menü gezaubert. Die Zimmer sind schön und gemütlich. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in der Anlage und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Gastfreundschaft des Personals, die wunderschöne Umgebung und der Blick in den Regenwald machen diesen Ort zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Wir können jedem nur empfehlen, hier eine oder zwei Nächte zu verbringen!
