Homestays in Benin

"I just liked it because it was neat, modern and comfortable (Spacious & Private)."

The shower and kitchen taps were taking a bit long to warm up. The bathtub hot water tap worked properly.

"Nice, clean, comfortable homestay with good facilities."

Breakfast was very meagre.

"Great location. Very nice and knowledgeable host - Nico."

Can’t think of anything.

"el lugar fue muy lindo, la vista espectacular, el trato y la calidez de Aisha, la administradora y dueña fue excelente"

me gusto todo

"Everyone in Paea's family was so warm and friendly! We were immediately welcomed and made to feel at home. The room was private, and the strong fan kept us cool. The home is a short walk to the beach, and we enjoyed walking along the waterfront into town. It was far from city nose and peaceful at night. 'Ofa and Saffron picked us up from the airport, waited while we bought phone data, drove us to a market for produce, and then drove us to the store for other food before helping us get settled in. 'Ofa drove us back to the airport when we left and offered to stop anywhere we wanted to see as well. They are wonderful people. -Denise and David"

The airport ride cost is not posted online before booking (100 TOP each way), but taking everything into account, the cost seems reasonable; the family is willing to get you what you need in town, and they are lovely to talk with on the way. The airport is 40 minutes away even without any stops. Still, if you are a visitor on a tighter budget, you may want to find somewhere closer to the airport. (This wasn't something we "didn't like" but rather something we thought we would mention for visitors who may not know transportation in Tonga can be pricey.)

"I enjoyed the stay here, thanks to the friendly and welcoming people and encounters with authentic lakeside life. The local style food was a highlight, especially the grilled butterfish from Lake Malawi, which was cooked perfectly right in front of my eyes. I really appreciated the clear instructions for arriving by public transport — getting there from Lilongwe turned out to be an interesting local experience in itself and made the journey feel much more connected to everyday Malawi life. While the property itself has - as the name says - a mainstream design and does not strongly reflect local character, there are plenty of authentic places to explore nearby. With the help of a local motorbike driver, I visited Lifuwu fishing village, which was lively, genuine and worth seeing. Overall, a comfortable lakeside stay with good food, helpful staff and great opportunities to get to know real Malawi just beyond the property!"

"Eenvoudig, maar praktisch ingericht en voorzien van alle gemakken! Prima bed (niet zo breed) Prima prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Super vriendelijke host!"

Als ik persé iets zou moeten noemen, is het het ontbreken van een kraan en wasbak in het keukenblok. Creatief met afwassen, door vullen van de aanwezige teil met de waterkoker, die je in de badkamer met een kommetje moet vullen, omdat hij niet onder de kraan past 😁 Maar goed, ik vond het zelf gewoon prima zo.

"Located in unique VW private museum with over 75 🚘 exposing historic models of VW cars including “bugs”, sports & various models of vans and several Porches . Collector and fans paradise - visited by international tourists from Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Czech, just to mention most frequent"

Smell of gasoline in museum

"Friendly and helpful hosts, well-equipped little studio with a kitchenette and a balcony at the entrance, location convenient for driving to Murten, Bern, etc."

If you are a light sleeper, you might find the noise from the road (10m away) and the railway behind it excessive, as well as noise from the next door neighbours with small kids, etc.

"Dudy was such a pleasure to stay with and I highly recommend booking with him. He graciously let me drop off my belongings early and pick them up after checkout so that I had extra time to explore the city. The room was spacious and I felt extremely comfortable the entire time. And what a beautiful garden! We had some great conversations about the plants that I was seeing and about his recommendations for the best things to do in the city. I was glad that I took his advice. Thank you so much for hosting me and making my trip wonderful!"

"It's located conveniently near the town center but still very secluded and peaceful. The bedding was extremely comfortable."

The food was okay but could have been nicer. Bring your mosquito repellent!

"The room was quite large and comfortable. The location and building was very relaxing. Definitely take advantage of the bikes and ride around the neighborhood. There is a great supermarket and a couple of awesome restaurants close by. The host was very kind!"

It is quite far from the city. So if you want to be in the city, then this is not the place to be. For one of the breakfasts, we got a big box of cookies and a banana. It would’ve been nice if we got some real food.

"Roomy, bright, immaculately clean. Bulbul and her family were welcoming, helpful at every turn. They provided a delicious and hearty breakfast. We were treated to beautiful dombra music and the harmonious voices of family friends in a small concert the first evening."

"Chez Fabien on n'a pas l'impression d'être des locataires, mais des amis accueillis à bas ouverts. Fabien veille à tout, à la propreté, au bien être. Il conseille sur les promenades à faire, sur les choses à faire et à voir."

Tout était vraiment parfait. Si nous devons repartir en Guyane nous savons où aller.

"The space is pretty cool and has character . There were 2 other guests but it was obvious. Actually had a great chat with them . But the property inside has a charm to it . Open and airy. The star is the host who is warm and friendly and a local , so you get the vibe of actually being in Guyana . The host was very accommodating and me the stay feel very micasa sucasa. I would stay here again and again ."

Nothing.

"Personalul a fost foarte amabil și locația este una buna."

Camerele sunt foarte mici ,de abia ai loc sa te miști. Aerul condiționat nu prea exista, este un fel de ventilator care nu face fata absolut deloc.

"Lovely home in great location. More breakfast options would have been good"

More breakfast options
