Pros:

What a treat to see a property cared for with so much love and attention.

Cons:

A real pity about its location. Google maps is a disaster. It took us on such a bad route. But thankfully they communicated really well to find it.

Magnifique
Pros:

Mahafay est le lieu parfait si vous recherchez du calme et du repos.
Le personnel est très professionnel et aux petits soins.
Le cuisinier prépare de bons plats avec une cuisine élaborée.
Les chambres sont très spacieuses et la literie très confortable. L'eau de la douche est chaude.
Les gérants sont très accueillants, souriants. Ils nous ont même trouvé un chauffeur avec une voiture adaptée pour la suite de notre voyage.

Cons:

Rien à redire.

Familienfreundlich mit Spielplatz
Pros:

Die bequemsten Betten MEINES LEBENS! Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend, spricht Englisch und Französisch. Sehr leckeres Essen. Schöne und geräumige Zimmer. Sauber. Sehr familienfreundlich inkl. Spielplatz.

Cons:

Obwohl wir in einem eigenen Bungalow mit geschlossenen Fenstern waren, konnten wir die Gäste auf der Terrasse des Nachbarbungalows sehr gut hören. Die Dusche hat nicht so gut funktioniert.

A true oasis in the city!
Pros:

Malagasy offers a deliciously luxurious stay with unmatched hospitality. The owners are wonderful, the staff incredibly friendly, and the food is simply amazing — you must eat here!

It’s a calm, beautiful escape in the middle of a busy city, complete with their big, adorable rabbits. And when we forgot our favourite shirt, they even took the effort to ship it back to us — truly exceptional service.

Highly recommended!

Cons:

Piscine HS et pas d’eau pour la douche. Cela a été réglé tout de suite quand je l’ai communiqué. Ce sont des choses à vérifier avant.

Pros:

Ein toller Bungalow und schöner Garten.

Cons:

Der Pool wurde gerade erneuert und somit nicht zu nutzen.
Im Bungalow ist die Toilette offen im Zimmer, was nicht ganz so angenehm ist, vor allem wenn man mit dem Sohn unterwegs ist. Da wäre es schön wenn man mehr Intimsphäre hätte.

Our second stay
Pros:

We stayed in this hotel for the first time upon arrival in Madagascar and after the end of a 23 day trip. So, if we stayed twice, it was already worth it :)

Comfortable bungalows with friendly and helpful owners - my rating 4* hotel
Pros:

I don't know why this accommodation only has two stars, it deserves more. The bungalows are spacious and spotlessly clean. The staff and owner are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. After seeing other hotels in Antsirabe, this was a great decision. We visited the city, also the Gem market, Lake Tritriva (I remember you Tatjana :) and Lake Andraikiba. Diego - we wish you and your family all the best! Thank you for everything, especially for my delicious Pinacolada :)

Cons:

Heating device is missing, portable heater is not enough for winter time (Diego - more then a gym). It's not the hotel's fault, but dogs bark in the area at night and people burn plastic - there's a suffocating smell in the bungalow
