Loved the trip to this magical place and definatly stayed at the right hotel.
Pros:

Amazing location, beautiful bungalows, and well-meaning staff. Fantastic daily optional activities were included and the food options were good, albeit simple - but the breakfast is great! Good little gym with the basics covered.

Cons:

It can be an issue to not speak Portuguese and you need to keep an open mind in terms of what’s available on the menu or what is delivered when - but as a base, the manager and staff really cares and tries - even though it doesn’t always seem so at first glance. Dinner can be a little too quiet but that will be (and was) easily fixed with more outside tables, candles, some music. Overall maintenance (fresh supply of outdoor large towels) and maybe more people and food options at the pool bar making it a more exciting hang-out with amazing drinks on offer - would be great.

Transportation connection to the villages and other properties could intensify.

Fantastic location, hotel is very good but not excellent.
Pros:

Location is astonishingly beautiful. Best in the world.
Bungalows have incredible views (unless you stay in the pool-facing ones: I would avoid those).
You have a free (included) tour per day. The tours are worth doing, staff is nice and take us to beautiful places. The boat tour to Baia das Agulhas is a must.
The beach is fantastic.

Cons:

Restaurant isn’t bad but isn’t best in class either.
Staff isn’t as nice as in other hotels in the main island in São Tomé. Namely the restaurant staff, who could benefit from extra training in hospitality.
Rooms are good but not excellent.

Boa mas o hotel tem muito pouco controlo de entradas e saídas de estranhos
Pros:

Do alojamento e da praia

Cons:

Existiam locais e turistas que entram no hotel e usam as toalhas, piscina e espreguiçadeiras mesmo na estando alojados
Talvez por estarem poucos hóspedes o fiambre do pequeno almoço vinha em péssimas condições..

Great location but poor property and service . Doesn't worth the price charged .
Pros:

Location is great. Beach is beautiful

Cons:

Poor quality instalations 3 star quality at price of 5 star. Restaurant in general pretty bad with very poor choice of food and drinks.rooms look poor for a 700 euro room..not comfortable and not decorated at all ( 3 star standard). Restaurant also what you will find in bad 3 star , just chairs and table with complete lack of ambiance and taste.

Unforgettable location, best in Príncipe, wanting to come back one day..
Pros:

Location is the best in Príncipe. 2 beautiful beaches, incredible views, clean and quiet . BBQ on Saturday was amazing. Very nice manager, couldn’t fault his efforts. Sitting here back in cold and rainy Wales but my mind is back at BomBom. All in all excellent, highly recommended

Cons:

Some parts are unfinished, for example the fence in front of our bungalow was left half done . This is just a minor observation. Food could have been better at times but it’s hit and miss in all HBD hotels.
