Guest Reviews

• OLIVIER (10/5): Séjour agréable dans un endroit paisible - Hébergement très calme, bien entretenu, et espace jardin très arboré de toutes sortes de fruitiers. Si vous êtes piéton, le logement est un peu éloigné de l'arrêt de bus, de la plage et commerces mais ça se fait. Je vous conseil le petit déjeuner préparé par Salid avec les fruits du jardin c'est grandiose pour l'équivalent de 7,5€ Le personnel est super gentil et disponible. N'hésitez pas à échanger avec lui. Rien
• sandrine (8/5): - Amazing Host, the garden with the beautiful flowers and trees is a peaceful retreat, the sound of the river is really a plus to immerse yourself in nature. You won't be disappointed it feels like home
• Oleg (10/5): Calm and cozy stay on Mahe - Great stay on the other side of Mahe with access to all the best beaches on the island. Car is a must here if you don’t want to hike and depend on the local buses. The owner has many fruits in her garden and a lovely dog ☺️ All good
• Louise (8/5): Felt like we were being watched constantly - Good location and as it’s a guest house, it means it’s competitively priced. Gardens are stunning. Outdoor shower was useful. If we’re honest, we felt like we were being watched all the time and it felt like Beryl constantly had her eye on us, to the point where I felt I wanted to avoid conversation and stay in my room until it felt I had the freedom to go to the kitchen or walk around the property. Whilst we totally understand that it is Beryl’s house and she wants things done “her way”, it felt way too strict. The room we were put in was a tiny twin room (we were a couple) and despite Beryl making clear to us that there were no other guests staying and that she “always did her bests to go above and beyond for guests” - she didn’t offer us a larger double room. We’re on holiday and so I never obviously confronted her about this, as we don’t want things to be awkward.
• Dimitri (9/5): - We stayed in these apartments and had a wonderful experience. The hostess was very welcoming and friendly 😊. Breakfast was served at 8 a.m. every day, always varied and delicious. Everything was clean and well-maintained. There is also a very beautiful garden behind the house, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
• Dagmar (9/5): -
• Lukas (10/5): -
• Melanie (8/5): Ruhige Lage mit Charm - Tolle ruhige Unterkunft mit einem schönen Garten und leckeren Frühstück, mit Früchten aus dem Garten. Durch die Hausbesitzerin hat die Unterkunft einen besonderen Charm. Ein Auto ist empfehlenswert, da man von hier aus die Insel in jeder Richtung erkunden kann. Tipp: Außendusche nutzen :-)
• Abdel-Halim (10/5): -
• Darina (10/5): Отличное место, обязательно вернемся. - Очень хороший маленький отель. Очень чисто в номере, уборка была регулярной. Номер был с балконом, с балкона открывался вид на океан. Очень тихо, в прошлый раз жили недалеко от Бо Валона, здесь понравилось гораздо больше. Территория тоже ухожена, есть несколько столиков где можно выпить кофе или вино и понаблюдать вечером за красивыми звездами. На территории можно запарковать машину, мы брали в аренду, помогла с этим хозяйка, ее зовут Берил. Также брали за дополнительную плату, завтраки. Берил сама готовит, все очень вкусно. Хорошее расположение отеля, недалеко есть магазинчики, takeaway, а до ближайшего пляжа минут 10 пешком. Мы брали машин и ездили на разные пляжи. До пляжа Petite Anse езды минут 15, до Anse Takamaka Beach минут 20. До Виктории тоже минут 20 на машине. Такого нет.
• Pedro (7/5): Was good overall but some improvements could be made specially in the rooms AC and refrigerator. - Car parking with easy access; the manager / owner was very nice and willing to share experiences and the property was very clean. The room is very very basic (but very clean). Don’t expect any kind of sophistication. Bed, noisy fridge with a bottle of water, wardrobe, basic bathroom (although big); AC (old and was not working properly / turned off after a while - not a problem for us as we stayed just one night).
• Morgane (10/5): Nous avons étais accueilli magnifiquement bien, c’est très propre, le jardin est magnifique, la propriétaire adorable ! - Tout étais parfait
• Barbara (8/5): -
• Azat Norov (10/5): - Everything was perfect
• Nicolas (10/5): -
• Lucie (8/5): Really nice place to stay, but you need to have car. Clean, nice homemade breakfast, beautiful garden. - Beryl was great, very friendly, she helped us with everything what we need. The most beautiful garden I have ever seen.
• Mikka (10/5): Comfortable Home Base for Exploring Mahe - The owner Beryl is such a pleasure to be around. She gives big hugs, makes a different breakfast every day, gives advice about where to go and eat, and coordinates car rentals and airport transfers. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. There's also an outdoor shower so you can wash off the sand before you go inside the house. The wifi is fast and stable and accessible inside the room. The tap water is potable when it comes from the mountain (but not when it's coming from the water tank during government water outages). The shower upstairs needs more water pressure. Also, sometimes there are water cuts due to the drought, but the house has no control over this. The government just shuts down water, sometimes on short notice, for 8 hours at a time.
• Karolina (9/5): - Skvělé snídaně, příjemná paní domácí, hezká a klidná zahrada
• Charlie (7/5): -
• Christine (10/5): Exzellentes Frühstück und super nette Gastgeberin - Das Frühstück war super gut und abwechslungsreich, da es jeden Tag etwas neues gibt. Beryl ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin mit der man am Abend lange paudern kann. Sie hat uns auch das Mietauto organisiert oder Telefonate für die Reservierung in Restaurants übernommen. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig mit eigenem Balkon und Kühlschrank. Die Klimaanlage war etwas schwach und es dauerte lange, bis sie den Raum einigermaßen runterkühlen konnte.
• Sylwia (8/5): -
• Frédéric (8/5): Excellent accueil - Excellent accueil de Beryl qui parle très bien français et partage beaucoup de choses sur la vie locale. Hôte très attentionnée. Appartement spacieux, vue mer. Petit déjeuner copieux. Localisation idéale proche de Port Launay et anse Boileau La Mouche. Comme souvent, coupure d'eau chaude le soir. Lit enfant non prévu, en supplément.
• Gabriel (9/5): -
• Rithin (10/5): -
• Woźniak (10/5): Cudowne miejsce - Właścicielka to przemiła osoba, która zadba o najmniejsze potrzeby gości. W pokojach jest bardzo czysto, a na śniadanie codziennie było coś innego i niezwykle smacznie. W około domu jest piękny ogród do dyspozycji gości, a do plaży jest ok. 15-20 min pieszo. Nie daleko znajduję się sklep i Take Away.
• Ewelina (10/5): - Cudowny ogród, właścicielka mega miła i pomocna ;) Pyszne śniadania! :) Polecam z całego serca
• moshe (7/5): A room in a villa in my opinion, the price is high relative to the services available. - A room inside a stunning villa, really beautiful views, and the place itself is really clean. Alex, the Sri Lankan worker, made sure I had a wonderful breakfast , The location itself is relatively far from the center . The price is really high for me and does not give value, also the owner of the place who is in Sweden on the first call raised her voice at me that I would pay immediately, lack of courtesy and it's a shame that it is like that, there is a really steep climb to the property and the bus stop is below, Also the water flow in the shower was really low, I managed without a car but you have to take this into account.
• Koren (8/5): -
• romainbigler95 (9/5): - Nous avons adoré l'accueil très personnel pour notre lune de miel. Le petit déjeuner était excellent, on a même eu des fruits du jardin, merci Alex.
• Felix (10/5): - Alex ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Früchte aus dem Garten sind sehr zu empfehlen.
• Nicholas (6/5): - Location Well looked after property It was like nagged by a grandmother Strict house rules
• T (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sosome (8/5): A pleasant vacation - Good breakfast. Fresh fruits everyday from the host garden. Beautiful garden, giving nice fresh air surroundings. The host drove us around places of interest & the beach, at a fair cost for the day. Include cereals for breakfast. Laundry for guests should be done, even at a cost would be better.
• Xiaomeng (9/5): Superb - Very welcoming host. Give me very helpful information. Delicious breakfast. Bit far away from other viewpoints. It’s better to have a car. Or you can take a bus. Sometimes have to wait for a long time.
• Claire (10/5): - Arrêt de bus a proximité, petite plage à 5 minutes à pied, disponibilité et gentillesse du personnel
• Angelique (9/5): Very nice place and a lovely host. - The host Beryl is lovely, welcoming, thoutful. It's such a pleasure to get a drink with her and chat. The house and garden are nice, confortable. Think that you just need a car to get around more easily.
• Giorgia (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed in Orchard Home 4nights. Very cleaned room and all the House in manage very well by the madame that Is the owner of the House. The garden Is a Little paradise and the Place Is very calm.
• Enric (9/5): Superb - Far away from the center. needed a car.
• Índigo (10/5): Exceptional - Beryl has a very beautiful house and garden and from the first moment she made me feel at home and as if we had known each other for a while. We had nice chats and she was always making sure I was back at night at her place. For a female solo traveler I recommend this place 100%. In Mahé is always better to rent a car but you can also move around by bus and Beryl will let you know cool places by bus.
• Eduard (10/5): Paradise - Very comfortable house in fruit garden near jungle. Beryl, full of positif energy.
• Tamás (9/5): Beryl is a fantastic host, very friendly, she helps you with all your requests, the breakfast was very good, we had a gr - The athmosphere of the house, nice garden, good location but only if you have a car, great breakfast, very friendly host Room was pretty small room, but it was ok for us
• Егор (9/5): Superb -
• Michele (10/5): Exceptional - Everything perfect. Beryl is a great guest. she speaks many languages, including excellent italian, she prepares very rich and various breakfast, she has a beautyful garden with all the tropical fruits. The house is cozy and confortable. The view from our deluxe room was great.
• Teodor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iwona (5/5): Passable - If I had to give the rating to the owner, I would give her 10/10 because Beryl is a great person. The room and balcony was big. Breakfast was tasty and big enough. The musty smell of dump in the room was really awful. Back home we had to wash our cloths twice to remove the smell. Also my make up brushes smell like mould, my bags, the backpack, our suitcases, but we cannot wash the suitcase so they just stink. We stayed in three different accommodations and only with this one we had this problem. The room is very old and doesn't look good, there are cracks in the wall and in the ceiling. There was some huge cocroaches coming out of the shower :( It is not a good place if you don't rent a car, as there are no places to eat in walking distance. Plus they don't have a vacuum cleaner, it means the floors and carpets are not too clean. You will also be asked and reminded every day to wash your feet before entering the house (which we did) but of course there was some sand in the towels or swimsuits, the next day we were reprimanded about the sand in our roon, but it's Seychelles, going to the beach is the main activity so I am not sure it is fully avoidable. Also there was one towel provided to dry your feet outside for all guests! At breakfast you sit at the common table, we were unlucky as the other guests didn't speak English and it was an awkward silence.
• Kamilkmz (9/5): Superb - The owner ia very welcoming and lovely tobtalk to and learn about the islands , you fell at home. Deluxe room has excellent views on the mountains. Home made breakfast. For a perfect 10 rooms needs some refurbishment.. quite old furniture in rooms.
• Petr (9/5): we felt at home here - lot of space in the room, warm welcoming, very friendly and helpful owner (thanks once again Beryl), everything clean... we felt at home here.
• Jérémy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lindeque (10/5): Exceptional - Beryl is an exceptional host. She is so friendly, warm and welcoming. She even made us a home made meal when we arrived which was the yummiest food we had on the whole island!
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - We spent 15 wonderful days and nights at The Orchard Holiday Home. And it was fantastic! The house is very clean and cosy and Beryl and Alam do all the best for their guests! We had a room on the 1.floor with a balkony and a wonderful view to the sea, the garden and the mountains. We spent much time together, because we liked that... but everybody has the  privacy he wants in this house. There are many different places to sit and relax in the house and the garden. Sure, there are some rules for the guests. But we think that's important! Alam is a very nice guy, who cleans the house and the garden every day. And we know, he's a very good cook! Beryl, thank you for everything... for my first golf lessons, for our sunset evening with a beer at the beach, for our good conversations, for the fun and the laughing, for all your funny stories, for the massage in Chantalle's Salon (ask for that!), for the great food and the fresh fruits of your garden! We miss you and your house and look forward to come back soon! Anke&Peter (The man with the screwdriver) from Germany that we had to leave 😢
• Burhanuddin (7/5): Good -
• Fabian (10/5): Beautiful stay with amazing host - Wonderful home with beautiful garden and outside area. Spacious room with big balcony and clean bathroom. Beryl was an amazing host, she had helpful tips and was always very kind and charming. The house is located on the quiet west coast as perfect spot to discover several beaches nearby. Thank you for having me! Nature can be loud at night :D
• Lívia (9/5): lovely host, feels like home - Beryl just the loveliest host, everyday different breakfast with fruits from the beautiful garden, comfortable bed.
• Aakanksha (9/5): A lovely holiday overall, all hosted with a personal touch. - Didnt have a pic of the bathroom as booking.com wants but wanted to highlight other pics and videos about the Orchard Holiday Home (wishful). Beryl is an amazing host, the place was very well maintained, clean and tidy. Besides the ambience and hospitality, the nearby views from the location were gorgeous as the fruits from her garden are beautiful if you visit in season. My partner and I bonded with Beryl and her staff very well, although some tourists might think she is picky about guests following the house rules.
• Aleksandra (10/5): A cherry on top of our Seychellois holiday - Absolutely amazing experience! Beryl, the owner, was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. She answered all my questions before we arrived really fast. During our stay she let us use the kitchen for a small additional price, treated us with citronella tea and sugar canes and showed us around her beautiful garden. We paid for breakfasts, so every morning we enjoyed delicious meals with homegrown fruit. The avocado was the best I’ve ever tried! At one point I felt like Beryl was our Seychellois granny and we were visiting her for a holiday. We got a huge room with a nice balcony overviewing the mountains and the ocean. In the evenings cute little friends (lizards) came to visit us and we had some nice time together. Everything at the property is very clean and well-kept. The bed is really enormous but a little short for my husband (he’s 183 cm). However, he didn’t mind since he could easily sleep diagonally. The air conditioner worked well and quiet so we didn’t have to turn it off at night. The location is good. The house is on a hill, which guarantees pretty views. There’s a bus stop not too far away and it’s possible to take a bus both to the ferry and the airport.
• Anastasiia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Petra (10/5): Exceptional - Beryl is absolutely wonderful, very kind, helpful, warm hearted person. We felt like home. The accomodation is very clean, neat, organized. There are some rules that make absolute sense and are acceptable for people with basic good manners. Nice location, bit up the hill (can be uncomfortable for someone with no physical condition), but its just few hundred meters. Very calm location with beautiful empty beaches. Wonderful garden with ton of fruit and Beryl always offered some to taste. Very safe place. Definitely recommend 🤗 The kitchen was free to use for making a coffee, tea, using dishes, plus there was small fridge in our room. (We didn't pay for using the kitchen for cooking, which was another option). AC and fan in the room, we only used the AC before going to sleep to cool down the room, but for night time the fan was enough. Bathroom was big and clean.
• Zsuzsa (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is the most kind woman :) and the breakfast was amazing. She helped for us a lot and this accomodation is really great for holiday.
• Dániel (10/5): Exceptional - Everything and Beryl :-)
• Colun (10/5): Perfect holiday when you want to lose track of time - I highly recommend this , Beri-the host is very kind , funny and lovely😍I enjoyed harvesting coconuts , bananas,avocado from her beautiful garden,, not to mention about the wild beaches nearby , thank you Beri for a wonderful stay, I would love to be back there soon ! 😀😊❤️ Everything was amazing👏
• Sonja (9/5): Great vacation - The host was very nice. The garden is amazing. Rooms are very clean.
• Sara (9/5): Superb - The lady who owns the house is really courteous and very nice. We could use the kitchen for preparing breakfast and snacks, even if it was no self catering. The garden and property is stunning! So we just can recommend this accommodation!!!
• Peter.benger (10/5): Exceptional - Dear Beryl, you created a wonderful place here on Mahe. We felt nearly at home in your nice house and we enjoyed it very much to stay in your beautiful garden. Your are the nicest and helpfully person, I ever met on our journies. Thank you for all. When I will remember our holidays on Seychelles, I will always think of you!!!!💕Hope, one day, we will meet again!!! ./.
• Olenka63 (5/5): Nice home but too many strange rules by Host - We rented a car so we were fine with the location. The main host Beryl welcomed us nicely. A polite Lady. Rooms were clean, sometimes we were treated with fruits from the garden. That was kind There were so many rules which made our stay of not a good memory. I suggest these rules should be mentioned in the property description before placing the reservation to not face any disappointments: - We were not allowed to use kitchen accept breakfast (On what Host told us to use restaurant so my mom and me had to eat food cold) So, my advice if you are planning to cook yourself you need to check with other property before placing the booking (as the kitchen might be advertised on the pictures, but what's the point if you can't always use it) - Even one morning for breakfast we were refused to use kitchen because at the same time Host was cooking for other guests who paid around 20$ for breakfast, so apparently that was the priority and we had to stay hungry in our room for 1 hour until other guests finish the breakfast. - Front entrance should be locked and also if you are coming from the beach, you should go all around the house to clean the feet outside to enter the house - We had to ask Host for beach towels as apparently it was not included in the room - It is not allowed by host to use internet for WhatsApp calls or anything that requires more internet data to use. So, if you are going to watch movie before sleep don't dream about it :) - The check out time is strictly at 10 am and the check in 3 pm. Also, i would like to mention of the shower, there was not always hot water especially morning times as well as the water flow was weak. There were also other guests there which I think were respected more than 2 women traveling alone. Other than that, the owner takes care of a lot.
• Eva (10/5): Amazing place on Mahé island - Beryl is an amazing host, generous, funny and very helpful. She made us feel at home and treated us as members of her own family🙂 Her garden is a real paradise full of beautiful plants and delicious fruits which were part of our breakfast. We had a great time with her.
• Tereza (10/5): recommend at all - Amazing, calm, clean place with amazing people. Our host Beryl was soooo nice to us! Breakfast was wonderful. Beautiful garden.
• Denisa (10/5): Lovely stay in beautiful garden - We simply loved Beryls Orchard Holiday house! The place is in strategic position, in calm part of Mahe, surrounding by beautiful nature. From our room we saw mountains and sea. The garden with fruit trees was amazing, Beryl gave us fruit from the garden on the breakfast and she was helpful all the time. Room was spacious and clean. We would stay here again, it is really lovely place. I think it is good to have a car, because house is on the hill. Bus station is down, it is also option, but you have to walk for several minutes.
• Vratislav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Santiago (10/5): Top place! - we recomment it 100%. Thank you, were a very nice days there with you!
• Anonymous (10/5): Highly recommended!!! - Beryl is an amazing host. Make sure you ask her to show you her impeccable garden. So fabulous. she catered for my breakfast despite me being dairy free.
• Andries (10/5): Just as beautiful as the island - Really enjoyed our stay and the hospitality, everything made us feel comfortable and at ease. Beautiful place, garden and surroundings, nice rooms with comfy beds and a large bathroom. All luxury's available, fully utilized kitchen, and lot's of rooms and terrace's to share. The new WiFi was fast. Enough space to sit inside or outside, and the fresh fruits from the garden are a great addition to the breakfast we got each morning. Thank you Beryl and Alan for doing the utmost to make us feel at home. Nothing
• Katharina (8/5): Friendly owner, car rental recommended - - Very good breakfast which is different every day - Very friendly and helpful owner that takes care and is really sociable - Terrasse of the room - Impressive garden with all trees and fruits imaginable (make sure to have the owner Beryl to take you on a garden tour) The owner gives the very best and her entire heart to the location, nevertheless there are a couple of things we'd like to mention: - Maybe our fault with not checking the surroundings before but the location is very uphill, no supermarket nearby (just a small mini market down the road), no restaurants close which makes it hard to get around and something to eat if you don't rent a car. Bus stop there, but also down the hill - Something the location can't change but probably worth mentioning is that the neighborhood is full of dogs that bark really long and loud, especially during night (almost every night at 4am). It's a common thing though on Seychelles so you probably find it in almost every neighborhood - Water pressure in the shower was very weak - WiFi was not very good, super slow and unsteady (could not even check my online banking)
• Anna (10/5): Home away from home - Our stay at the Orchard Holiday Home was wonderful! It felt like being home. Beryl made our stay memorable by sharing her nice stories and walking us around through the garden. The location of the hotel is great as it is in the middle of the West coast. A car is recommended and Beryl arranged one for us.
• Kathrin (10/5): Incredible beautiful place with an amazing host! 🌟 - Where do I even start, it was just a dream! 10 out of 10 stars! The hostess Beryl is an asset. We had great conversations, she was extremely helpful and also advised us on tours without trying to talk you into anything. We were very grateful for her tips. For easy access to the accommodation I recommend a car, Beryl also did the booking for us and got us a great price with a good provider. The garden with various fruits is fantastic and big enough to spend some nice moments on site. We had the deluxe room so we had a balcony with a gorgeous view of the garden, mountains and sea! We actually spent every evening here. Breakfast is prepared by Beryl herself and is varied with a great selection of egg dishes, fruits, pancakes and many more. She did a great job of accommodating us and offering us various vegetarian/vegan alternatives. If we ever go back to Mahe, for sure we will stay again at this place! I can only highly recommend to anyone.
• Sabrinammad (8/5): Very good - A beautiful place in a very quiet neighborhood though far from everything. The room was very nice, the bathroom was great. The landlord (or rather landlady) was not here but the woman replacing her was adorable and the sweetest. The house is big and very comfy. It’s a really nice place to feel homey in. The housekeeper didn’t make us feel very welcomed, always locking us out and making us go all around the house (which he didn’t do the first days we were here cause there was also another couple there which I think he respected more than 2 women traveling alone). He also did not let us use the kitchen (which according to the contract we were allowed to use) and my sister had to eat her food cold. Then he was telling us at least 10 times we have to leave at 10 am sharp (though we understood the first time) and then asking the lady replacing the landlord when is our taxi coming to take us to the airport. + he doesn’t speak good English so it was very hard to communicate with him.
• Stig (10/5): - Flott opphold hos en fantastisk service Iluca😎😎Vi hadde bil som er et must, da det er langt mellom steder her. Veiene er smale og dårlig merket. Ingen gang og sykkelvei.
