Guest Reviews
Staff meraviglioso, cibo ottimo, le stanze, la struttura… tutto molto bello. Ci si sveglia con mnemba davanti, sala pranzo sull oceano.
Come immaginabile sono presenti zanzare, ma con un buon repellente e con la complicità dello staff (che ogni sera viene a spruzzare l’antizanzare e posizionare le zanzariere) si sta molto bene.
The hotel is right on the beach and is very peaceful and relaxing, perfect if you’re looking for a quiet and secluded getaway. However, if you’re looking for more things to do around the hotel, it might feel a little boring, as there isn’t much around.
The staff are extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The food is excellent — breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very good. They are also very flexible with both meal times and requests to modify dishes. The only downside is that the service can be a little slow, but honestly, when you’re on holiday, it’s quite acceptable.
The room was beautiful, spacious and tastefully decorated with a lovely local touch.
A few things could be improved: the Wi-Fi is very slow, especially in the evening, and unfortunately the beach was not really accessible because of the large amount of seaweed. We also organised an excursion through the hotel which wasn’t managed in the best way, although the hotel later offered us a discount to make up for it.
### Disappointing for the Category
My stay at SeVi Boutique Hotel unfortunately fell below expectations. We originally booked for two nights but decided to check out after the first night due to the overall lack of comfort and several operational issues.
Coming from a tourism and hospitality background with extensive experience staying in hotels, I understand that no property is perfect and always assess hotels fairly based on their category, location, and concept. However, there were simply too many concerns during this stay to overlook.
The main issues included significant mosquito problems, an uncomfortable bed, poor soundproofing, unreliable Wi-Fi, and no in-room telephone, requiring guests to visit reception for assistance. Our private pool also did not appear clean enough to comfortably use.
Food options were limited and service was slow. More seriously, I found a small metallic piece in my pizza, which raised a food-safety concern. The staff apologized and removed the pizza from the bill.
We also experienced a power outage lasting more than 30 minutes before the generator restored electricity. The property feels dated and would benefit from refurbishment and better maintenance. The beachfront also had considerable seaweed during our stay, although I understand this is seasonal and outside the hotel's control.
On the positive side, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and respectful. When we checked out early, they apologized and kindly did not charge us for the simple dinner we had before leaving, which I genuinely appreciated.
Given our experience, I find the contrast with some of the overwhelmingly positive reviews difficult to understand. Of course, every guest has different expectations, but our experience was unfortunately very different.
Overall, SeVi has a charming concept and friendly staff, but improvements are needed in comfort, cleanliness, maintenance, food quality and safety, Wi-Fi, backup power, and guest service.
Everything
Le personnel hyper sympa et accueillant
La plage on y trouve beaucoup d’algues, des oursins dans l’eau et beaucoup de bateaux, pas la plage idéale pour la baignade
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful, spotless, and perfectly maintained, with an amazing atmosphere.
What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, professional, attentive, and always willing to help with a genuine smile. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until the day we left.
The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and excellent customer care exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and unforgettable stay. We can’t wait to come back!
Heel vriendelijk personeel, zeer aangename sfeer! We voelden ons direct thuis bij die mensen. Ze proberen aan de verwachtingen of vragen te voldoen. Doen echt hun best om jou als gast tevreden te stellen. Zeer aangenaam gevoel!!!
het strand is niet aangenaam om te zwemmen omwille van heel veel kleine bootjes en ook de zeewier die uit het water kwam. Maar je kan in een zwembad genieten van de idyllische zeezicht!
Rien de bien.
Nous devions séjourner 7 jours dans cet hôtel, mais l'expérience a été tellement mauvaise que nous sommes partis 2 jours avant la fin de notre réservation.
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons découvert un bungalow sombre, très humide et envahi de moustiques. Les photos sont trompeuses : la "petite piscine privée" présentée sur les photos ressemblait davantage à une mare d'eau stagnante, remplie de moustiques, qu'à un véritable bassin.
Il y avait des vers et des cafards un peu partout. Le pire a été de retrouver des vers sur mon oreiller, ce qui est totalement inacceptable.
Le petit-déjeuner est très moyen et le restaurant est décevant. Les plats sont de mauvaise qualité, tout en étant très chers. Nous n'y avons mangé qu'une seule fois avant de décider de ne plus y retourner.
La piscine commune est très petite et l'eau semblait stagnante. Quant à la plage, elle est difficilement praticable à cause des nombreux rochers et des algues.
Le Wi-Fi fonctionne très mal, voire pas du tout.
Nous avons payé plus de 320 € par nuit, un tarif totalement injustifié au vu des prestations. Face à cette situation, nous avons préféré perdre les deux dernières nuits plutôt que de rester. L'hôtel a refusé tout remboursement, ce qui nous a obligés à payer un autre hôtel pour terminer nos vacances.
Enfin, il n'y a pratiquement rien autour de l'établissement, ce qui oblige à prendre un taxi pour la moindre sortie.
Au vu du prix demandé et de la qualité des prestations, je ne recommande absolument pas cet hôtel. Ce séjour a été une immense déception.
Estuvimos alojados 4 noches en la villa. Es absolutamente espectacular y no le falta de nada! El personal muy atento y encantador.
La espera en el restaurante. Tardan más de una hora en servirte la comida y hay poca variedad en la carta.
La playa esta llena de algas y se ve bastante sucia.
Mucho ruido desde primerísima hora de la mañana tanto de la gente local que va a la playa como de las obras del hotel. Esta lleno de cuervos que también empiezan a hacer ruido muy temprano!
Colazione eccellente
Staff molto cordiale e disponibile
I prezzi sopra la norma del posto
The staff made this hotel stand out. They kept saying, "Everything is possible," and they meant it! They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I want to commend Rashid, Stella, Masoud, and Hallelujah for their outstanding service in the restaurant and bar. The cocktails and snacks were excellent, and we loved sitting in the beautiful terrace bar where we could look out at the ocean. We found it a great place to get work done! (We were traveling for work.) The food was excellent. We did not agree with the reviewer who said that the portions were small -- far from it! We had more than enough food, especially during breakfasts. We also did not experience shortages of butter or beer. The cottages were large and tastefully decorated. We particularly loved the hanging swing lounger on the verandas of our cottage. We thought the housekeeping staff did a very nice job of tidying up our room each day, as well as providing turn-down service in the evenings. Christina and Philomon at the reception were always friendly and helpful. Finally, I want to acknowledge excellent spa service.
The hotel was undergoing some renovation while we were there, so there was quite a bit of noise during the day. However, the workers didn't start until everyone was awake, so it was not very disturbing in the end. The hotel is more rustic than some travelers might like, but we found that was part of its charm. The only thing that I didn't love were the "hustlers" on the beach. Whenever we tried to walk on the beach, we were inundated by people trying to sell us things. That said, everyone has to make a living, so we were able to politely decline and were then left alone.
I like the layout and surroundings of the property
The fact that the toilet and shower area do not offer much privacy
The accommodation was lovely, peaceful and relaxing, no noise, no stress, it was exactly what was needed to just switch off and enjoy the island getaway. We loved it.
The only down fall to the hotel was the variety of food choices. Was very limited.
Amazing property, great location, it feels as if you are in the forest.
Pests
L'emplacement est vraiment top.loin du bruit.
Le.personnel toujours au petit soin et toujours souriant.
RAS
On a vraiment apprécié tout le personnel, Souleymane et compagnie, Asma, les serveurs du restaurant.
Beaucoup de lézards sont présents dans les chambres.
Os funcionários eram todos muito simpáticos.
Durante toda a estadia a maquina de café estava avariada e nunca conseguiram servir o pedido ao pequeno almoço. Haviam muitas faltas de produtos simples, como maracujá (muitas vezes só tinham a quantidade para fazer um sumo. Todas as refeições haviam sempre faltas em relação a produtos de comida (carne, lulas, abacate).
A praia é impossível para tomar banho nem com maré cheio ou vazia.
O quarto onde ficamos tem zero insonorização e por isso a partir das 5 da manhã com os microfones da igreja ouvíamos tudo e era impossível descansar mais.
O wifi é péssimo e está sempre a cair e sem sinal.
