Homestays in Vanuatu

"We had the most amazing time at the Vera Sunset Homestay. Phonephet and his family are very friendly and the island is perfect for a few days off the beaten path. You can just relax in your hammock all day or explore the rural island and play football with the village kids. The food was very good and fresh. The standard of the bungalows is basic and in line with the price. Definitely one of our highlights in hole SOA and we can't wait to come again!"

"There was much to like about our stay - the room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a good shower. The location - a short drive from the main Belle Mare beach and not too far from the main regional hub of Flacq (with its twice weekly market and also Super-U for those who prefer more modern facilities) - was good and the walk from the accommodation to the dining area through an abundance of local floral was a delight. But biggest praise must go to owners Roshan and Sang (and their son Kite) who were so warm and welcoming - they made each guest feel like a VIP, nothing was too much trouble for them and the food (breakfast and dinner) freshly prepared by Sang each day was varied but always delicious. We had a wonderful stay with no complaints whatsoever. Well, actually, just one - we never did get to see Roshan feeding the Dodo."

It would have been great to have had a fridge in the room

"That’s amazing studio flat in a very nice hotel. It is sad that is sharing apartment, but you don’t share anything. You have your private bathroom, washing machine, private kitchen, private balcony, the only thing you share is one door to get to your flat. There are food shops and restaurants all around. Tram and bus stops very close. Metro station is about 1 km away, but you can take tram to get there, it takes two stops. Apartment was clean, nice clean white sheets, clean good towel, shampoo and hair conditioner. Security downstairs so you feel absolutely safe. Location is good for taking a walk by the marina to see yachts and a wonderful view to all buildings around. Wi-fi was good."

There is nothing in the kitchen, no spoons, no forks, no cups, no plates, absolutely empty. I had to buy a cup just to make coffee. Had to wait host for 1,5 hour. The main things to see are far away from the property, you need to take metro and ride 10-15 stops to see burj khalifa, the frame, future museum and ect. At least it’s one line. There was bad smell in the kitchen (can’t understand where it was coming from) had to keep balcony’s door open all the time. Very noisy street outside, cars and trams traffic all the time.

"I have never been anywhere where there is quality sleep with great staff service"

Nothing

"De ligging is erg mooi, wel wat afgelegen maar de rust die dat geeft is erg prettig . Er is een hele goede kok, het eten was heerlijk ."

We misten lekkere stoelen om aan het meer te kunnen zitten. Ook was het vreemd dat de frisdrank in verhouding tot andere plaatsen erg duur was

"Die Unterkunft war für einen Kurztrip mit 4 Personen perfekt. Alles sauber und sehr netter Gastgeber."

Leider ist die Unterkunft nicht komplett zentral und die Bettwäsche hat etwas komisch gerochen. Ansonsten war aber alles super!

"My bedroom was in the basement, it was dark, and there was a cold air-con unit in the ceiling which i could not adjust. The lamp at the bedside was broken. Downstairs lounge area was very dark, and had a small kitchenette attached. Place was convenient for US border, but far from downtown Vancouver."

Found the bedroom and entrance room dark and in the basement. It did not look at all like the photos.

"The area is very quiet, and the room was spotlessly clean and tidy. I loved the beautiful sea view from the property. Also, the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making my stay very pleasant."

"Een enorm warm welkom gehad met Marokkaanse thee en een pizza berber. Parkeren doe je gratis aan de overkant van de straat. Het eten was echt heel lekker!"

De kamer is niet heel erg gelikt, maar dat hoeft ook helemaal niet voor die prijs. Uitstekend verblijf!

"We had a truly great stay at Vila Davor, Turistička 8- Peštani. The location is phenomenal, at least in our case with small children, because the apartment is less than 10 meters from the private beach with sunbeds. In same house there is a beach bar and kayak and sup board rental. There is a supermarket and several restaurants of national cuisine nearby. As for sightseeing, the entire area around the lake and the Galicica National Park are a 15-20 minute drive away. The host is pleasant and ready to help in any way that would make the stay more pleasant (cheers Mishko). The house is a little bit older, but the apartment is clean and tidy. The kitchen is shared and with basic things as it is noted in the offer so that is not a complaint. It is a bit more difficult to park if you have a large vehicle, but the host can find you a safe and large parking lot in the immediate vicinity. And the biggest plus at least for us- they are pet friendly."

"L'appartement est au top. Les équipements fournis sont juste parfaits. Agréablement surprise d'avoir autant d'équipements dans une location au pas de la case. C'est la 1ère fois"

"Very peaceful and quiet🙏🏻 the hosts upgraded our room since it was our honeymoon which we greatly appreciated 💙"

The mattress could be better as it gave us back pain

"Super leuke eigenaar die met alles helpt, ondanks het lastige communiceren vanwege het niet zo goed Engels spreken kan je alles vragen en word alles voor je gedaan. Geweldige locatie."

Het bed is erg hard, je voelt de vering echter is de prijs er ook naar!

"De kamer en terraskeuken en phelemene was erg vriendelijk."

De locatie was een beetje moeilijk terug te vinden.

"De rustige ligging aan het water. Het volledig ingericht kraaknette huisje waar het aan niets ontbrak. Fietsen en kayak gratis ter beschikking. Koffie uit Belize en welkoms biertje. De vriendelijke eigenaar die ons kwam afhalen aan de haven en die steeds klaar stond om al onze wensen te vervullen. Hij heeft ons ook een prachtige boottocht aanbevolen. Deze plek is ideaal voor personen die zowel van de rust als van het eiland willen genieten"

Niets…. Dat we moesten vertrekken…

"Amazing place with all the things you need. And Pascal is a really nice guy who helped us with everything. Thank you so much!"

"Valentina is a nice host. She is really fun and helpfull. Thanks Google Translate for the help. The homemade honey and jam was really tasty !"

Place not really clean.

"Fantastic, amazing,clean beautiful cosy place. Very friendly and felpful owner, he brought us butter, as I forgot and also tea. He helped me about what to see in the area. Very very cosy,home atmosphere. I am so so happy to choose this accomodation and I highly recommend it to everyone. At 10.00 pm there is silence. Parking next to house. Everything is very close."

I liked everything.

"Great and helpfull owners. I got sick and they helped me with everything I needed. Respect!!!"

All was good.

"Locatie is wellicht iets ‘minder’ geen fantastisch uitzicht en vanaf het huis is het een klein stukje lopen/rijden naar dorpje. Voor mij was dit prima. Ontbijt en dinner gehad, waren beide super. Kevin is erg vriendelijk en relaxt, wat een verblijf bij hem fijn maakt."

Geen opmerkingen!

"- zeer vriendelijk en flexibel personeel - wij wouden om 7 uur naar wadi shab waardoor wij normaal gezien het ontbijt gingen missen. Personeel was zo vriendelijk en flexibel om ontbijt te voorzien na onze wadi tripje. - meteen tips gegeven om te eten… - eten was gevarieerd en zeer verzorgd - bedden waren proper"

"The hosts of house were very nice, kind and ready to help, if needed. House is simple, at the same time warm, cozy and there is everything what is needed for stay."

"location is perfect, which is nearby the second best beach of the island"

none.

"Personeel is heel vriendelijk en het is chill dat je zo vroeg kan inchecken en laat kan uitchecken."

De bedden zijn klein en niet heel comfortabel.

"Large room, nice balcony with view of the sea. Owners friendly and very helpful. There is a nice clean shared kitchen that is very well equipped."

"Heel mooi en sfeervolle homestay. De kamers zijn ruim, comfortabel en schoon. De locatie is goed en het eigenaren zijn erg gastvrij."

"Clean rooms and hotel. They have parking which is perfect."

There were 2 ladies at the reception - one of them was exceptionally kind, the other one was passive aggressive and rude (I only talked to her on the phone).

"Wir waren zum zweiten Mal hier und es war wieder alles in Ordnung."

"De lokatie en de vriendelijkheid van onze gast heren"

Het weer

"The staff were so friendly and helpful, truly made my time in Sao Tome wonderful."

"Midden in de natuur. Medewerkers helpen je uitstekend. Zelfs de koffiebonen branden ze zelf. Fietstocht naar waterval, 9km is moeite waard. Soms wel even flink klimmen, maar je komt onderweg mooie dingen tegen. Waaronder Cafe’lista. Daar moet je sowieso even stoppen"

Iets verder van het centrum. (30 min)

"Superfijne studio op kleine afstand van het oude centrum. Heel fijn bed, bijzonder goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding"

Het was erg vreemd om zoveel persoonlijke spullen (knutselprojecten, kinderfoto's) op de kamer te zien, en de jacuzzi kan wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken (maar wat een luxe!)

"Top locatie vlakbij het vliegveld en de host in heel behulpzaam."

Aucun.

"Heel veel het eten maar vooral de familie.Wat een top mensen.Ze laten je helemaal thuis voelen.De moeder maakt een hele goede maaltijd en Felix de vader kan veel vertellen.Het onthaal van de dochter was ook heel byzonder.Zo liefdevol.Deze mensen zijn echt top"

"Todo bien! The owners are very friendly and make me really feel comfortable and home. The house nice and clean. The area is quiet and safe. I really enjoyed my stay there and send greetings from Germany!"
