Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (4/5): good potential; but poor management & maintenance - The villas are spacious, and have good layouts - their bedrooms, bathroom, living area, and terrace. The washing machine in the unit is a plus. The villa that was given to us smelled moldy. While the pillowcases looked clean, the pillows themselves were heavily stained and smelled really bad; so did some towels. The kitchen appliances, especially the fridge and glasswares, weren't cleaned well too. The property does not offer free wifi anymore. "Anymore" because there was a router in our villa; but we were told we had to buy a local sim card if we wanted internet. Staff Aline who serves as the key contact person for the villa needs to be more helpful, and pay more attention to the details of the bookings. We started on the wrong foot. When we arrived at the property, there were no welcome greetings; instead, her first words to us were "You did not arrive yesterday. I waited for you!" Only to find out that she mistook us for other guests, and reprimanded us for it. When we wanted to extend our stay for two more nights, Aline blocked the property on Hotels.com right away; thus we had no choice but to do it directly through her. Her excuse was that she didn't want other people to book our villa. Not true. In fact, many villas were empty. Aline was proactive when she needed something from us (e.g. payment collection); but oftentimes unavailable when we needed help (e.g. questions on taxi rates). Her fave line is "I will check on that; and get back to you." She never did
- Man (8/5): - No tiene barbacoa teniendo gran espacio exterior ...
- Steven (2/5): - Constant harrasment by staff. Someone called in the middle of night giving orders. Open windows, close windows, turn off air conditioning etc.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - La struttura esternamente di presenta molto bene , buona la posizione , peccato non ci siano indicazioni di Koko villa a Glacis . Il difetto più grande sono le pulizie che vengono fatte tutti i giorni tranne la domenica , superficialmente. Devo dire che partendo di sera sono stati molto disponibili e ci hanno lasciato l appartamento fino alle 18:00 . Noi amiamo la Seychelles!!!!!
- Roy (4/5): A basic option in an isolated location - This was offered by Expedia as an inexpensive "bolt on" to the flight I booked, I had intended to look a another option, but surprisingly found few reviews online, so decided to take a chance. It was in an isolated location about 1km up a steep narrow road about 15 minutes drive from Beau Vallon, near the north tip of the island. The apartment was equipped as advertised and was adequate. Unfortunately the apartment we were allocated had at some stage suffered mildew/mould and although there were was no visible mould growth, there was an unpleasant smell steeped into the apartment which combined with disinfectant/air freshener made us feel unwell. We were unfortunately unable to locate an alternative that afternoon, but left the next day having found somewhere else. My advice would be if you can afford to go to the Seychelles for a Holiday then you can afford something better than this. it may be better suited to families working locally who seemed its main clientele rather than tourists. The only person we met who wasn't in charge was helpful, but I would not consider this accommodation suitable for Expedia, who I have used for quite a few years with no past negative experiences.
