    Lock of my room went broken and I had to pay it. I had to pay for storing my luggage few hours before my flight left. I couldn't charge my phone in my room and there was often electricity powercut

    Breakfast was same everyday, one bread, one egg and instant coffee. View from terrace was nice to the river and I got good information how I can travel by bus in island

    We were in transit so we didn't have soap neither towels and they didn't provide us this facilities. We agreed to check out a little bit later than 11am because I travel alone with toddler but at the last moment they pressure me to leave.

    The host was very kind and people we met there were interesting.

    Nothing to dislike as met all our expectations

    My wife and I loved staying at La Bamboo Guesthouse - just our taste in Lonely Planet old- school backpackers accommodation. The house was quite a maze and we had one of the rooms with terrace overlooking the river. Had everything we could possibly need and Mala and her husband Vishnu couldn’t have been more helpful with simple breakfast to set us up for the day. The beautiful Blue Bay is only 15 minutes away on local bus - well worth the rs30 bus fare just for the trip. Short walk to several supermarkets and bus terminal short walking distance.

    Unfortunately the requested bicycles were no longer available. The credit card machine wasn't working, Hot water has restricted hours,which might inconvenience some.

    The property is located very close to the bus station and the Waterfront walkway,It is also in an easy walk to two good¬sized supermarkets where you could buy drink and provisions for storage in the owners' easily accessable fridge.The tap water is drinkable at the property It is a cozy GH and very sociable,The owners are friendly and helpful and one or other was always available.The decor is a little tired but is full of character, The floor was immaculately cleaned and mopped throughout the day,There is a beautiful panorama towards the Cavendish Bridge from the upstairs balcony.My room was functional and the bed was comfy,Breakfast was included though lacked variation (bread,jam,omelette,tea/coffee) however it was greatly welcomed. I actually visited the property twice,The first 3 days were scheduled but the second occassion was the consequence of Cyclone Belal. I was due to fly home,but was tol;d to leave the airport.I turned up unannounced at the property to be told it was full.However,the kind lady made a family room available for me and was told to 'think of me as your older sister !' I will be forever thankful for her kindness and for her understanding of the situation,

    Rooms not inviting, we did not stay the night we left the property we did not ask for a refund it was very cheap aircon not working, no mattress protector on beds, mattress far too soft we left as it was not to our liking, felt like we were staying in someones home which might suit some people, not what we expected. Dark rooms gloomy

    location good, close to sea front, owners of accommadation were friendly

    Traditional Mauritian guest house. Very comfortable.The location was very convenient, close to ATM's, supermarkets, the waterfront and bus terminus.Good restaurants nearby. Blue Bay was only ten minutes away by bus. A beautiful beach. The museum was well worth a visit. Short drive from the airport.
