Homestays in São Tomé and Príncipe

"The host and her granddaughter who helped with my stay were amazing. The host picked me up in the city and brought me to St Marys and again to the airport in the morning. The traffic was terrible leaving Quito, I felt sorry for the host dealing with it. I was a little concerned that the dogs and other guests might continue making noise throughout the night but that wasn't the case. You are certainly aware of your proximity to the airport as you can hear planes over head. The 'village' is spotlessly clean and well maintained."

I wish there gad been an option to pay with credit card, but I get it.

"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.

"Kinglet was a hospitable host. Quiet and serene environment. Home was full of history. Meal was delicious."

"Staff were very friendly and werw available for any kind of help. Cleanliness was also good enough including bathrooms. Price was very reasonable. And the location was also on very good spot, kind of centre location to visit the important places in beirut. The highlight were the staff and their behavior. It was a pleasant experience in that hotel."

Just little bit of issue in internet but we only spent night time at the hotel so was not that much of a problem.

"Location Staff Home style and very friendly Free coffee use of kitchen and comfortable lounge sofas Fridge and deep freeze available. Tv in all rooms . Lovely garden to wonder around . Good wifi"

Leaving

"A true homestay with warm hospitality and amazing facilities at the 7th floor. Located close to a MRT station, restaurants, shops and several green recreational areas."

For me, having visited the Singapore tourism highlights on a previous visit, it was not an issue at all, but good to be aware that those highlights take a bit of time to get to. Also good to be aware you are welcomed into an actual home while the owners are living there. It's part of the charm.

"Jay being very hospitable!!!! If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay with no frills this is the place!! Very clean. Beach and bar at the end of the street."

If we had a chance to stay longer

"Everything! The host Mishko was there all the time, on call for everything. We're more than glad that he and his wife waited and assisted with the directions even though we arrived after 10 pm. The house is on the beach, in a quiet neighborhood-terrific if you want to relax. The view of the lake can not be described with words. There is a market at the next street open on Sunday. The place is worth more than the price."

Aucun.

"Punctual staff, caring and helpful, nice garden not far from train station and the lake."

All was okay.

"This is an amazing location. The property is beautiful and the rooms are large and very spacious. And the beds are truly comfortable. This is an exception property and we truly enjoyed being 10 mins from town as we did a lot of traveling by moped to the mountain areas around which are STUNNING. The family and team that run this hotel are truly kind and very helpful to make any plans, etc. This is a definite must stay."

Absolutely nothing!

"Alfa is a very friendly host who will help you with all he can without any opportunistic motives. His place is clean and welcoming. Large and tasty breakfast included. The dinner they cooked for us was absolutely delicious, we loved the Peulh cheese! And all this at a very good price - great value for money. Very funny for us Belgians to be welcomed in Dutch :-)"

The surroundings of the house are not really beautiful, but we stayed here as an overnight stop between Cotonou and the Tanéka villages.

"The location was close to the beach and showed a beautiful view of the water."

I loved the property except it took a while for the living room area to cool down due to the AC only being in the bedrooms

"We are visiting from Australia and this was a perfect place to stay for over a week. Lovely host who was so kind. The guesthouse is only a 5 min walk to a lovely restaurant and another 5 mins to centre of town yet it’s so peaceful. Room was very clean and comfortable with great aircon. A lounge area is available with tea/coffee, fridge and microwave. Lovely outdoor seating area. I highly recommend this beautiful guesthouse."

Everything was great

"This is a lovely old home with great character and charm, and it is in a beautiful setting. The hosts were wonderful people and the meal offerings were delicious. It was great to sit down to breakfast with our fellow guests and learn about them and their travels. The room itself had extremely comfortable beds, and they've updated the windows so we had some nice airflow in the room despite the warm weather. The bathrooms are down the hall, but it was never a big deal as the place is small enough that you don't feel weird about sharing the bathrooms. They also have a community kitchen for everyone's use. I would gladly stay here again."

"性價比非常高，在跨年連假每間飯店都誇張亂漲房價的時候，只有這間飯店提供合理的價格，真的很棒！ 房間跟陽台都非常大，隱密性也不錯，床雖然很軟但支撐性很高，睡得很好。 房間還有提供冷暖氣，風量很大也很強；浴室也很大，且水熱得速度很快，水壓也不錯，且淋浴間地板有止滑，很棒。 有很多停車位，附近也有很多好吃的餐廳，民宿外的草地區也讓人很放鬆。 沒有提供冰塊，但跟住宿方詢問就會提供，滿棒的，住宿還有提供飲水機甚至是電梯，很棒。 另外個人常常覺得住宿提供的肥皂太大塊，沒用完很浪費，此住宿提供的肥皂較小，比較環保，退房沒用完也不會心疼。"

櫃檯的右側有貼歡迎使用信用卡字樣，實際到現場卻無法刷卡只能付現，這點讓人不是很愉快。 C/I時間只到晚上九點，不確定九點過後是否還能入住，八點半左右就接到民宿方來電詢問是否要抵達了，讓人有壓力。 住宿本身非常安靜，但有遇到帶小孩的旅客小孩早上一直狂跑亂跳，也有遇到早上約七點開始使用鐵槌敲東西的聲音，雖然都被吵醒，但聲音都沒有持續很久。 另外個人覺得房內的沙發很硬。

"A truly amazing place to stay in Bruges! It’s located on a quiet street, yet very close to all the main sights and cafes. It was wonderful to stay in one of Bruges' historic houses. Even though the interior is completely modern, the small details give a lovely nod to the past. The host is very welcoming and pleasant to talk to. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I also really enjoyed the shared attic space; it’s a great spot to relax on the sofa or use the kitchen, which is fully equipped with everything you might need"

"Cozy home, friendly family, comfortable bed. The host offered pickup and drop off service to places, airport and train stations which was very helpful."

Location. No restaurants within a walking distance. There is only a supermarket at about 15 min walk.

"The standard breakfast consisted of eggs, sausages and toast with your choice of tea or coffee. Eggs are scrambled however if you prefer your eggs boiled Claudia is happy to oblige. The portions are very good and everything was satisfactory"

We enjoyed everything about this homestay

"Staff were great. Breakfast and dinner were fabulous. Room was great."

I slept in the loft which was a little hot and stuffy. My mums slept downstairs The tariff was expensive.

"Very nice and cozy place. It is a lovely family running small hotel. They are very good and helpful people. There is a nice kitchen."

Aucun.

"Super special atmosphere! Kem, the landlord is so nice and kind!"

None! Everything was nice!

"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."

Nothing.

"Superbe maison, avec une piscine fort agréable. C est près d un écrin de verdure qui apporte une fraicheur naturelle en soirée. Il y a tout ce qu il faut pour un séjour : propreté, confort, et calme. De plus, les propiétaires sont adorables et très avenants. Bref, c est une pétite!"

Rien, tout etait très bien.

"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.)

"Experience of a natural village life. Good healthy home cooked food."

Being from a tropical climate I felt that the timing of hot water was less. It can be increased. Also some seating in courtyard could be increased.

"If you are more a visitor then a tourist, if you like exploring and going further when comfortable tourism ends, this place is for you. The authenticity, genuine friendliness and welcoming hearts of the people of the community made this stay incredibly unique and one of the best experiences of my life. When staying here one can get closer to locals, animals, cultural sights, traditions, local way of life, nature and the PNG culture in general then in any other accommodation. The PNGFE made my stay very comfortable and made me experience local life and the raw nature of PNG!!"

"I enjoyed my stay 100%, exceeded my expectations, mostly the host is very kind and attentive and was ready for help any time and very responsive. Very clean, neatly decorated and perfectly equipped facilities, ideally located in between st. julians and sliema, easy to reach anywhere on the island with public transport. I think this is the best for its category and price tag."

"The homestay was beautiful, clean, and felt very welcoming. The location was peaceful, with a lovely view, and it was easy to reach the main sites in Lalibela. The rooms were comfortable, and everything was well taken care of."

Honestly, nothing major everything was great.

"Location next to beach and mall suitable for family"

shampoo and conditioner..

"The location is very convenient - 5-10 min walk to both beaches, 1-2 min to the main pedestrian street in Kiten. The inter-city bus station is right across the street. In the same building there is a well stocked grocery shop, offering fresh fruits, vegetables, ice-cold drinks and other at very reasonable prices. There was a paid car parking option (10 BGN per day) which we took advantage of. The staff were very helpful and friendly - we had a minor problem with the shower, which was addressed and resolved very quickly. The refrigerator and air conditioner in the room both operated very well."
