BETSILEO COUNTRY LODGE

wir haben relativ kurzfristig ein doppelzimmer per whatsapp angefragt. die antworten kamen jederzeit sehr schnell und super freundlich. dass sich unser check in aufgrund der fahrt verzögerte, war für das team der lodge kein problem. wir haben ein kostenloses upgrade bekommen und hatten eine spektakuläre aussicht! das zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. das bett war sehr bequem, auch moskitos haben sich darin wohl gefühlt.
abendessen und frühstück waren auch sehr lecker! wir würden die betsileo country lodge absolut empfehlen und wiederkommen.
vielen dank für diesen schönen aufenthalt!

At first view, it didn’t seem to be that nice but we had a very enjoyable stay. The surrounding landscape is amazing, the staff very cute, the breakfast was also one of the best we had in Mada. The room are not spectacular but clearly clean. Still a bit expensive I find

Unieke plek op Madagascar vlakbij Parc d'Anja.

Wonderful views and a great location to stay at and visit the Anja Lemur Reserve

We were disappointed and uncomfortable at Betsileo. Though we booked ahead staff were not aware of our arrival and hadn’t planned for the activities we booked. Our room was soooo uncomfortably hot, and there was no fan. There was not enough water to shower. The mosquito net was decorative rather than functional (could not stay closed and tucked) which also meant I woke up, sweaty with a huge cockroach crawling over me. In the morning the net was full of mosquitoes. And for all that, we still paid 300,000 ariary just for the room. The food for dinner was okay, but not what we ordered. Dinner came an hour late.

On the plus side, the views are incredible. The staff are friendly and speak good English. We had a nice bicycle tour, too. The pool is refreshing.

We were so uncomfortable we cut our stay short to leave after the first night. We left feeling like we’d really been fleeced. It seems the only thing keeping the place afloat is Dutch tour companies putting this place on their clients’ itineraries.
