Très décevant malgré un personnel agréable
Pros:

Le personnel était gentil et très accueillant.

Cons:

Le manque d’hygiène et de confort s’est largement fait ressentir. Dans la première chambre double que nous avons eue : cafards, araignées, scolopendres et fourmilière énorme derrière l'accroche de douche donc invasion de fourmis quotidienne dans la douche. Dans la « suite supérieure », draps remplis de tâches de tous types, volets qui ne ferment pas, prise qui ne fonctionne pas, douche très sale certainement pas nettoyée avant notre arrivée et pour finir pas de pression ni dans la douche ni dans les toilettes donc obligation de se laver avec un filet d'eau. Pour finir, l'emplacement est très mal choisi puisque les chambres ne sont pas isolées donc on entend la musique des bars/boîtes comme si on y était jusqu'à 2-3h du matin.

Hotel excelente.
Pros:

Es un hotel muy bonito con un personal que te ayuda en lo que necesitas. Está muy bien ubicado. Si volviese a Nosy Be, repetiría sin dudarlo. Recomiendo este alojamiento.

A Disgraceful Owner
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Owner's bad attitude: Future travelers, please check pics 1 to 4. The story is that I left the country earlier due to health problems, I politely asked for refund of the missed nights of my staying, owner was hiding the day of my early check out, so we were communicating via the staff. I was asked to give him (Benjamin) my personal phone number so he would contact me... which he never did! I was given a free taxi ride... so, instead of getting 3x38=114€ I was "spared" 23€ for the airport transfer! Really, the worst thing was this guy's way of expressing (I was even accused of blackmailing!)... it shows a bottom quality of a human being. So, future travellers... choose wisely where to stay in Nosy Be!

Too many mosquitoes in the room

No Fridge in the room.

Noise from renovations inside the property.

Hotel Benjamin Joy!
Pros:

A family run hotel in the prime spot in Ambatolaka. Close to the beach local bars and shops. A nice clean room and balcony overlooking a lush botanical garden created by Benjamin to show some of the beautiful and exotic plants of madagascar.

Benjamin the owner is very kind and likes to spread awareness of madagascara ecology. Tina, the manager, is an absolute star. Her local knowledge is priceless, and she helped me so much with everything from trips to food to what prices are. Everything I needed, she helped every step of the way. Perfect for a lone woman traveller to have this angel helping and supporting!!

Cons:

Nights can be loud due to the hustle ans bustle of Ambatoloka. But this is such a good central location and therefore to be expected.

Overnight stay
Pros:

We stayed overnight only, yet we have a great experience. Remember its closeby to bars & club so it can be noisy at night. Location is great tho. Staff are amazing & so is Benjamin very helpful & friendly.
Im sure in the future the place will be updated.
