Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr schön. Man fühlt sich wie im Regenwald. Von den Hütten aus gelangt man über einen schönen Pfad direkt an einen kleinen Wasserfall. Wirklich sehr beeindruckend!

Cons:

Dadurch dass es in der Natur liegt, gibt es das ein oder andere kleine Tierchen... aber nicht weiter schlimm

A cute little oasis near the Ranomafana park entrance.
Pros:

At a walkable distance to the park entrance, this hotel is very cute, and offers bengalows and food at a reasonable price with a relaxing and quiet atmosphere. The staff is really friendly and offers impeccable service. They will not hesitate to help you with any questions you may have.

Cons:

Electricity is only available in the rooms from 7:30pm to 11pm. You can charge your devices at the reception the rest of the time, but keep it in mind if you have many devices to charge.

Ottimo rapporto qualità ad un prezzo irrisorio, immerso nel verde
Pros:

Eccezionale per il prezzo pagato. Posizione ottima e 10 minuti dall' inrsso del parco Ranomafana. Stanza essenziale e spartano ma rispetto al prezzo pagato (15 euro) davver ooltre le aspettative. Location immersa nel verde in con vista spettacolare sulla valle. bagno con acqua calda, rustico ma e non bello ma con tutto l' essenziale.Ristorante in loco.

Cons:

Colazione con poca scelta

היתרון העיקרי הקירבה לשמורה
Pros:

קרוב מאד לשמורה

Cons:

כשהגענו לחדר היה ריח של גז. התברר שהיתה דליפה. החליפו לנו את החדר, אבל זה לא היה צריך לקרות.
בתחילת הערב לא היה חשמל, התברר שרק כשממש מחשיך מפעילים את הגנרטור.
ארוחת הבוקר הייתה ממש גרועה

Cañanas dentro de un hermoso jardín y parque
Pros:

Mucho, cabañas cómodas, con lo necesario para una estancia y sentirse en la naturaleza, al lado de un río y cerca del parque nacional. La comida muy buena, el personal muy amable.
