"Absolut Empfehlenswert"

10.0

Extrem leckeres, frisches Essen und wunderschön gepflegte Anlage. Toller Verloverleih um an den Strand zu fahren. Super schöne Tour/Erlebnisangebote. Meremeta ist sehr um das Wohl seiner Gäste besorgt, hilft einem alles zu organisieren. Glutenfreies Essen jeden Tag super geklappt, toll für Allergiker. Wir können es sehr empfehlen!

"Fantastic lodge, I wish I could stay longer"

10.0

Meremata and the staff were very helpful and attentive, always anticipating what you might need and able to help out with any request apt tasks I had on the island from getting massage to booking plane tickets to getting transport.

Food could have been a bit better for $15 I ate at other restaurants most nights. But was not bad and convenient being at the lodge

"Superb"

9.0

Extreme helpful owner, from providing transfer to airport as to help with any other problem. Breakfast always in time even if you leave early. Very affordable snorkelling excursions and great whale shark watching. Rooms are clean, well maintained. Lovely garden. Good wifi. Decent meals for a reasonable price.

Please be aware there is no swimming pool (yet), but as diving/snorkelling is a main activity I did not miss it.

"Great value"

9.0

Meremeta and his staff were exceptional. Anything we needed from setting up tours to smaller meal portions, they were there to accommodate us. The rooms were very clean and the AC was mightily appreciated. The beds were firm but comfortable and the grounds were bursting with colorful flowers. The free bikes were great for getting to and from the beach.

Would be nice to be closer to the water, but it was a minor issue.

"Great place with beautiful garden"

9.0

Meremeta has a beautiful lodge with an amazing garden. He and his staff were very friendly and took care of me and the other guests in an amazing way. I was really happy with the service and when I needed help with anything, Meremeta took care of it. The food was good, the location was perfect because I went scuba diving at Mafia Island Diving everyday. The room was very clean and so was the bathroom. 10/10 would recommend!

"Great base for diving and relaxing on Mafia Island"

9.0

Spacious and very clean room with fans and air conditioning. Power-bar in room very helpful for charging. Couches and hammock outside of room and large shared seating areas. Breakfast and dinner were good, plus accommodation of special dietary requests at dinner and breakfast. Free water/coffee/tea all day Location is a bit far from everything, but owner helped with transportation even very early in the morning.

Lingering sewage smell in bathroom. Lack of chairs in the bedroom.

"Great location and friendly staff."

9.0

Meremeta lodge Meremeta Lodge was great. The rooms were clean, cool from AC, and the water hot! Most of all the staff was incredible. They take pride in ensuring that the food is delicious and the experience is exceptional. They arranged daily transport to the dive shop, tours to other areas of the island. When I didn’t prefer the meat as the main dish the cooked chicken instead. I asked if they served it on the island as I had a suspicion they didn’t. As a result, they had plenty of Coke Zero purchased ahead time for me I highly recommend Meremeta Lodge and if I return, I will definitely be staying with them.

Would like to have had western alcohol at the ‘bar’

"Perfect place to stay!"

10.0

Meremeta Lodge is one of the few places in Mafia Island that has air-conditioning - a must in February. The staff members are all great, and the owner (Meremeta) is very friendly, attentive, available, accommodating and helpful - nothing is too much effort for him; you can ask him anything and he will always answer "it is possible"! Meremeta Lodge is also one of the very few places in Mafia that is owned by a local Mafian, and we recommend that you support local.
