Lodges on Norfolk Island

"Dar Al Salam Hostel is a charming and exceptionally clean place to stay. I was particularly impressed with its convenient location, situated in a peaceful and quiet area, which made it perfect for relaxation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating a cozy environment that felt like home. The interior of the hostel was thoughtfully designed, offering a nice blend of comfort and functionality. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ensuring guests felt cared for. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil and enjoyable experience."

"Beautiful location with a very nice room layout and facilities."

Room was exceptionally warm and hard to moderate the temperature. We eventually asked for the floor heating to be turned off completely and then opened all the windows and doors for over an hour to bring the temperature back down to a suitable value.

"From the moment you arrive, you feel a calm that’s hard to describe—surrounded by nature, history, and a team that genuinely cares. The rooms are beautifully simple, the views are unforgettable, and there’s a quiet magic in the air. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left. Can’t wait to return."

"Comfy rooms, spacious balcony with hammock, beautiful river view from the bed even, lovey staff. And their coffee made with a percolator was great"

"My sister and I arrived late (maybe 10 PM) after our car broke down. Most of the staff had left for the day. We were shown to our room which had one king bed which wasn't what we ordered. We tried to explain to the worker we wanted two beds. He didn't speak much English but was able to get a hold of the owner who was still on site and he upgraded us to the superior room with two beds for free, which was very nice. The rooms are much more comfortable than most hotels in Madagascar. The property is gorgeous, and the food was excellent. We enjoyed wandering the grounds of the property after a day of exploring Isalo National Park."

Very expensive by Malagasy standards.

"very good location uphill, very far from street noise. we enjoyed seaview and city lights at horizon, that fara we could see from the highest small house. we got some hammocks up there and were having fun next to the amazing nature whilst chilling on the balcony, thanks to guys who secured our stay"

toilet facilities were not good, requires immediate update

"Everyone there is amazing! Incredible view from all the areas wherever you go, I was teleworking from there, and needed somewhere nice/calm/comfy to work from. Thank you, Sardan, for all the help and care and always checking on me and helping with my plans. The place by the pool is really nice for all the hot days, and they played really nice soft music that uplifted the vibes. The bungalow was gorgeous, too, waking up with a sea view directly from your bed. Perfect for couples or solo travelers. I booked for 2 nights and ended up extending for a full week. Can't wait to come back there. Kabak Beach is like a 30 min hike downstairs , it's very nice and cozy without trashy tourists vibe like Oludeniz."

I loved everything.

"Location is wonderful, feeling very close to pure nature. We love the swimming, sauna, hanging matt, beach and the hike around."

The cottage is really small and stuffy esp when it’s hot. window without mosquito net, thus we cannot leave it open in the nite, too much mosquitos and horse fly.

"Very cute and cosy little house with little kitchenette and bathroom. Comfortable. Supermarket nearby. Friendly owner."

"If you want a peaceful, calm and stunning environment, this is the place. It is simple, but has everything you need in a beautiful setting. Perfect for nature lovers who don't want to be on top of other guests."

Was a bit musty smelling, but after being opened up and aired out and a candle or two it was perfect.

"Friendly staff with breakfast in the morning. I enjoyed relaxing on the front porch with beautiful garden scenery surrounding. It was a simple rustic bungalow."

Sometimes the water didn’t work. There were large black wasps making a nest in the washroom.

The fans could use an update.

"The owners are really nice and even take the time to take my son around to see the farm animals The bungalows are super spacious, clean and comfy with everything you need inside. The terrace with the outside kitchen is great to cook and relax"

"Extremely friendly and helpful owners that made us feel very welcome.🙏🏻 Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing and served in a beautiful location.🙏🏻 We really appreciated being dropped off at the station very early on our last day. Our clothes were beautifully washed. We would be happy to stay here again. Comfortable beds and nice view from the balcony."

Very little really. The set up of the bathroom made it that everything got wet but we didn’t feel it was a problem, especially as there was plenty of warm water at all times and the water pressure was good.

"The view: wow. Believe me when I say it’s even more stunning in person than in the photos. The pictures don’t do it justice at all. It’s that breathtaking. The room was cozy, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and the location had a nice, peaceful vibe. It was a great and fun stay overall."

The only small downsides: the room could really use a mini fridge to keep water cold during the summer, and a full-length mirror would be a great addition. But aside from that, everything was fantastic.
