The location is exceptional, everything is in the walking distance from the hotel. The only thing which may more far is a beach where you can swim, but it is no problem with all transport facilities. The personnel is welcoming and always ready to help.

Great communication with the team before arrival. Jane offered to set me up with tours etc. upon arrival, even trying to connect travellers to share excursions. The room was comfortable and had a good size. Air-con worked without a hitch, but insulation/ventilation was quite good, so I actually didn't need it much. The pool is a bonus, but the beach opposite is actually is nice for a city beach. It's a little far from shops/supermarkets, but close to the nicer restaurants in town. Unlike other places in São Tomé, I felt the staff genuinely enjoys working at Emoyeni Gardens and was always friendly and courteous.

The most remarkable thing about The hotel was the receptionists (Vania, Jerseley and Isaias). They were very professional, friendly and supportive. I wish I could remember the names of all the staff who worked at the restaurant throughout the week. They handle well a few rude customers. They always remained calm and respected them. I think you should place a notice board at your hotel stating that you won’t tolerate racism or any discrimination against your staff.

An unknown jewel!
An unknown jewel! We visited idyllic places, saw the most amazing sunsets over tropical beaches & saw very few tourists.
Most of the locals were very friendly and helpful. It is a photographic paradise.

They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations.
Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree.
The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights.
The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables.
In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central,
You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese.
No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes.
You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name.
Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

Language barrier is too problematic.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand.
Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble.
Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal!
Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view!
Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched.
There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce.
The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going.
The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
It's a very big house: bedroom with private bathroom, living room, fully equiped kitchen, terrace and a beach. And we were there alone (with two lovely dogs). The house is so comfortable that we stayed longer than we planned. We bought all food we needed in a big supermarket in Sao Tome city. It's ideal place for independent travelers. Communication with the host was very good, we were taken from and to the airport, the house was guarded at nights. We felt very safe during all our journey..
The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is also located only a short 5 minute walk to various restaurants and places of interest in Sao Tome. The owner was very responsive and even helped arrange to puck me up at airport. This is truly a guest house with only two rooms and no reception/hotel desk; however, owner is available by phone and has made arrangements/partnered with connected businesses to help. Highly Recommend!
The location is great on the side of the town, you can walk to restaurants and markets easily. There is a rental car company on the side of the hotel that is very convenient. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. The room was a good size. The central garden and pool are a good size and surrounded by mature trees and lots of birds. It's a nice space that the rooms overlook. We could walk directly out to the pool from the room.
The staff were accommodating and helpful. They arranged a rental car and driver for us, making our visit stress-free and enjoyable.
The hotel is only five minutes drive from the airport and within easy walking distance from the town, several good restaurants, and the beach.
We also found the local people helpful and friendly throughout our trip. Sao Tome is truly a paradise. We could have easily spent more time there.
Fernando was an extremely friendly host who speaks good french and the house is ideal if you stop over in São Tomé to go to Principe the next morning, as you can't get closer to the airport and Fernando picks you up. Sometimes electricity or water don't work as intended, which is just how it is on the island, and the host gladly helps to find solutions. Great value for money.
Excellent location within walking distance to the heart of the city but still quiet and tranquil. The owners were extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for days trips, activities and restaurants. They arranged a vehicle rental for us and a day trip to a beautiful island off the south shore of Sao Tome.
What a nice stsy, the lady of the house is amazing,, on top of things and helping out at all times
Small but delicious breakfast, freh local fruits
Free shower at 5 pm on last day and a big hug.
I spend 200 days a year in hotels, but this is an overall experience to remember 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The hotel is on a quiet side street so not much noise. Most places in Sao Tome were in walkable distance but you can easily get a taxi or moto from the hotel. I liked the design of the room and it had good AC. The staff were very helpful even when there was a language barrier.
The staff is fantastic, the place super clean and modern facilities. Totally recommended for when staying in Sao Tome city. You will
Meet other travelers here. Rooms are spacious. There is even a kitchen. Sad to leave. Payment options are great to - Revolut is winner!
This was one of my favourite places in Sao Tome! The bungalow was so nice and the whole property is very beautiful. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was super good. I really recommend this place and will return when I come back to this island
Excellent value accommodation in Sao Tome city. Easy check-in, helpful manager, easy luggage storage, clean room. Decent breakfast included. Nice pool, though we didn't use it due to short time and cool weather.
Great location for exploring Sao Tome Island.Nice breakfast with lot of fruit. Louis and his wife is a wonderful hosts, they made a delicious dinner for us last day of stay and drop us to the airport!
Beautiful hotel with many and varied communal spaces. Our room was large with all the amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were well done. It is close to the airport.
Basic hotel, but is in center. Aircon, good breakfast, omlete, ham, cheese,, many fruits, smoothie.
Good character, helped me with the rental car and also giving me a discount.
the manager gentleman, and other hotel staff (two ladies - and the lovely girl) were all very kind, ready to do their best to help us. we appreciated their kindness a lot.
Very nice location, good starting point for exploration. Very "Westerner" friendly setup, comparable with European 4* hotels. Friendly staff and beautiful Infinity pool
Great place to relax and right location between Sao Tome and the southern part of the island. Ideal for a pit stop and a stay for a few days. Food is delicious.
