Guest reviews for Forêt Austral
"Well located in between the village of Ranomafana and the park entrance. The food offered at the restaurant was well priced, good quality and tasteful, we ate all of our meals on location. The onsite manager and cook were very friendly and helpful."
"The bungalow were a bit small, and the electricity was on and off, even though supported by an électrogène system to take the relay when needed. The mattress in our bedroom need to be changed"
"Ugh! This place is so much the best. Was there two weeks and sad I had to go. They do have cold beverages and awesome hot showers unlike what it may say in a couple of reviews below. Wifi only available in the main reception restaurant area. That worried me at first, but it’s very easy to access and oh my this is the best place to unplug and read a book and watch the waterfall at the river and the butterflies and the trees and all that. Stay here. Also, super helpful friendly staff that is genuinely happy to see you."

"I stayed for a week. The staff is incredible, the lady at the front desk was very nice and helped me with many things. It's close to the park if you don't mind walking or if you have a car it's no problem. Prepare for a glamping experience and it will not disappoint. Would stay here again. Also it has a private walk to the river which was nice"

"It is in a beautiful garden setting with a view of the valley. Walking distance from the park entrance and under an hour east hiking distance to town (going down—I didn’t try to walk back up). The restaurant is excellent with reasonable prices. The staff are lovely. The rooms are quaint and comfortable with hot water. WiFi is good for Madagascar."
"We liked everything!"
"Really good value for what you pay. The rooms are basic but to be expected. Beautiful location and walking distance to Ramomafana. Meals were good value and tasty."

"The hotel is beautiful. It is made with traditional materials from the forest. The huts and beds are comfortable. The food is very nice as well. it's also not far from the Ramonafana park entrance - roughly 20 mins on foot, but the view on the road is beautiful, passing through a viewpoint on the Ramonafana waterfall. People from the hotel were extremely nice with us. Due to a car issue, we arrived very late at night, and they waited for us. The next morning, they helped us with arranging the guide, and also to arrange a night walk for the evening."

"The location is excellent, very close to Ranomafana National Park. The food was really good – I had fried rice with egg which was delicious, and the chocolate crêpes were great too. The Wi-Fi in the reception/restaurant worked perfectly, I was able to work without any issues. The staff was very kind and helpful. I also loved the stairs leading down to the river – such a beautiful and relaxing spot. The rooms were clean and there was hot water available!"
"The rooms themselves didn’t really impress me, and the beds were a bit uncomfortable. However, considering the value for money, it’s absolutely fine. Also, they don’t accept card payments and don’t have bank transfer options, so make sure to bring enough cash"
"Very cute place, great location Restaurant on site"
"Aucun."

"Chambre confortable rénovée avec soin Bon rapport qualité prix"
Christophe Hôtel les Flamboyants
"Ein feines Appartement mit allem, was für einen Kurzaufenthalt gebraucht wird. Um das Bett herum ist es etwas eng. Leider liegt es etwas abseits in einer dunklen Seitenstrasse, so dass immer ein Tuc-tuc benötigt wird, welches der Guardian gern besorgte. Sehr schön auch die Zusatzeinrichtungen für Gehandikapte."

"Établissement exceptionnel, très bon rapport qualité prix. Près du centre ville. Le personnel est souriant et très prévenant. De superbes prestations hôtelières. Pour un court ou un long séjour à Tamatave nous vous le conseillons. Paiement possible par virement bancaire très pratique. La Créole est devenu notre point de chute pour tous nos séjours à venir."
