Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

We stayed in one of the rooms in front of the reception area. It was clean, spacious and comfortable.

The breakfast was good, with toast, eggs cooked to your liking, fresh fruit, tea and coffee. The villa also offers bicycle rentals at reasonable prices, including both electric and non-electric bikes.

Gehan was incredibly friendly and helpful. He was always happy to assist whenever we needed anything or simply have a chat, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

Very good overall stay, would stay there again
Pros:

Very good value for money, stayed 4 people in a family room. Great location. Easy enough walk from the port, even with some luggage (turn right from the port and then left after a 100 meters or so). Room is a good size, beds are comfy, aircon worked well, nice little verandah with 4 chairs and a table. Could do with an extra blanket and pillow per person. The sheet alone is too cold. Only a small fridge and a few glasses and cups, so not really self-catering. Bike rental at the property (good quality bikes) or just across the road for cheaper for lesser quality bikes). Breakfast was delicious, and more than enough. Served on the lovely verandah by nice friendly staff.

Cons:

No real kitchen facility. Too few covers for sleeping

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Authentique. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the ferry and close to restaurants, shops, and beaches. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
What made our stay truly special was the staff. Every single employee was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. We would definitely recommend Villa Authentique to anyone visiting La Digue and would be happy to stay here again.

Pros:

Super séjour, établissement très bien situé proche des commerces et du ponton. Le personnel est très gentil, disponible. Le petit déjeuner est très bien et copieux. Le logement est propre. Il manque cependant un étendoir pour les serviettes au retour de la plage...à part cela parfait rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

Un étendoir et la terrasse petite.

Przemiła i bardzo pomocna obsługa, transfer na życzenie. Śniadania smaczne, raczej typowe. Mieliśmy mały problem z łóżkiem, po zgłoszeniu do recepcji sprawa została rozwiązana ekspresowo. Lokalizacja super, 5 minut pieszo do portu. Na miejscu wypożyczalnia rowerów najlepsza na wyspie

A comfortable stay in LaDigue
Pros:

The location was just 5 mins walk from the ferry station. The rooms were nicely made albeit a bit old but completely sufficient for a good rest. It had a good view of the forest and mountains on one side. The staff were really friendly especially Gihan. You can also rent a bike at the property. A supermarket is just next to the property

Cons:

The breakfast was just basic

Pros:

The location of this small hotel was unreal! Just a 5 minute walk from the ferry port and right in the centre. It is a lovely small B&B hotel and there is a bicycle rental right on the estate with great prices and bikes. If i were to come back to La Digue I would definitely stay here. Great location, price and facilities.

Goog location, quality stay
Pros:

Great location, spacious bathroom, good service from the staff. Good value for the price paid.

Cons:

A bit old, needs refurbishment. But this will happen when people start travelling more again so they can earn some money to invest it back into the property.

Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, 5 minut spacerem do portu. Pokój czysty i wystarczający na kilkudniowy pobyt. Na terenie obiektu możliwość wypożyczenia rowerów oraz zorganizowania transferu meleksem. Bardzo miły, zawsze usmiechnięty i pomocny Pan z recepcji Gihan :)

Cons:

Śniadania mogłyby być bardziej urozmaicone. W pokoju brakowało paru potrzebnych rzeczy np. suszarki do włosów(jednak Pan z recepcji mi jej użyczył), stoliczków nocnych itp.
