    Two points could be improved: * There was no wi-fi in my room. Please try to add this. * Water flow in the shower was eak

    Had a great stay. Was introduced to a fantastic guide (Fernando Bragança) who made my trip very enjoyable and is highly recommended. All Mucumbli staff members I met were super friendly and extremely helpful. The sunsets from the balcony of my room were extraordindary. A short walk leads to the beach and shoreline which is wonderful to explore. The staff were very helpful with my luggage transfer as well and went above and beyond expectations. I'm quite sure I will be back at Mucumbli and am looking forward to it.

    Some of the donkeys that are hosted on the land were wounded and didn't look much attended, maybe it is hard to find vets on the island but it would certainly be nice to have this fantastic beings be in better shape.

    Stunning views, beautiful rooms, very nice staff.

    Mucumbli was for us extraordinary for different reasons and it was just not the houses, restaurant and territory, but all these people we talked there, who were our guides and drivers and those with whom we planned our days on the Western coast from our home country. And those who dealt with our changing desires while being there. For example: we found out that we couldn't ride mountain bikes in the heat of Africa. And we chose not to rent a car to drive south as we had planned back at home. Instead, we toured with a driver and went to Porto Alegre by boat. I recommend this 3.5 hour boat trip to anyone who loves the sea. To see this beautiful island from a far is so special. Especially the S-W part of it, which is without roads and very few people live there and all of it is covered with primary rainforest. To Amaro, our Northern Coast tour and Water Tunnel hiking guide, we are especially grateful. Tt was fun and interesting with him. The same goes for the guide ( sorry, cannot right now recall his name, but he was also English teacher as Amaro) who led us for two days from Bom Sucesso over the mountains and in the forest to Chamiço. And the next day from there down to Agostinho Neto. This was simply wonderful. Thanks to Mucumbli we saw a lot of country, experienced different surroundings, had a fun time walking in the nature and talking about the history of the country and everything concerned the life of people there. But what concerns Mucumbli as a place, this is beautiful, spacious, clean, tasty, charming. With good food and mood. With very lovely people. Stay with them and use their knowledge and guides to discover this beautiful-beautiful island. We are very grateful!

    It seems they only take payment in cash (not unusual in São Tomé) but makes life tricky, especially if needing to use local ATMs.

    Very welcoming and helpful staff. Well kept grounds and rooms. Good restaurant, with pleasant views. Good WiFi coverage.

    An amazing place. We could see the sea from our huge balcony, everything you might wish for was exactly where it should be, we received the best breakfast on the island and dinner was also very good and not too expensive. Bike hire, late checkout (including the use of an outdoor shower), money exchange and guides were all possible. The room was huge and very quiet.

    Staff somewhat spoiling a picture perfect place
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Room (2 Adults + 1 Child)

    Some of the staff were clearly unhappy and quite resentful - NOT the people working at reception, cleaners or drivers, but I felt I was a bother for those leading excursions and some of the male staff at the restaurant – at night especially – were treating customers in a sneering, almost sardonic way (no matter their native language, I witnessed the same happening to native Portuguese speakers).

    The location, gardens and bungalows are amazingly beautiful, I've never stayed anywhere like this. I can be queasy about too much "wild" life, but the fly screens kept insects at bay very well (be happy if you have a lizard inside, they eat insects and are completely harmless). Cycling to Santa Catarina and visiting a roça on the way was the highlight of my trip to STP. As for food, I found the Italian food much better than the fish/seafood options... Prices were actually lower than at the tourist places in the capital.

    Great lay out of the lodges, each one having plenty of space and peacefulness, while the restaurant terrace serves as a more sociable part of the property. Comfortable beds, cleanliness in the property. Kind staff. Delicious and copious breakfasts. Very responsive team online before our arrival.

    Nothing everything was amazing

    Mucumbli is a serene spot on the western side of the island. The rooms or lodges were very cute, beds were comfortable and had nice touches. The views of the jungle and the sea were incredible. The food was the best from the pastas to the fish to the chocolate mousse dessert using Claudio Corallos chocolate. And the staff were always so kind and attentive.
