Guest reviews for Samaria Lodge
"The location was amazing. So peaceful, relaxing, superb snorkeling just outside the lagoon. The staff and owner, Mark, were amazing. Our favorite place in the three months of traveling Madagascar. Bring your snorkel gear!!!!"
"I liked everything."
"Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The northern part of the island and its people are refreshing."
"No do not disturb signs"
"The staff was friendly and accommodating. Marc, the owner, made this time special for my kids and me. It is very family-friendly and one of the nicest islands I've ever stayed on."
"There wasn't much I did not like. If I were to do it again, I'd bring my own snorkel equipment and explore ore if the island."
"Everything, No complaints at all. The property is beautiful and everybody is super friendly and willing to help if you have a problem. The owner Marc is very kind and always available if you have a problem or in general for any questions. He’s really helpful and sits down with you to make a plan to explore the island. The rooms are very clean. The nature pool is just stunning. The food is amazing as well. You can tell that the whole team really does everything out of heart, the ambience is just beautiful. No open wishes. Thanks to the whole team to make our trip so wonderful and perfect! Highly recommend this lodge!"

"The owner Marc was incredibly helpful and all the staff were very friendly. It was a great base to explore the north of the island from. Really nice property overall and exceeded our expectations! The food was also excellent and reasonably priced. We liked the more remote location, away from the bustle of town."
"If anything could be improved, the shower water temperature was either boiling hot or cold - but hard to complain as we were happy to have some hot water regardless. The road in may be a bit rough for some folks, but we managed fine on a motorbike. You can also take a tuktuk, but it’s a bit of a far drive from town."
"Everything was perfect. Marc was a Great Host and helped us pick out and organise the activities on the island. A lot of the activities around the hotel were included in the price of the hotel. They offered free canoes and snorkeling equipment and Marc even gave us some of his own equipment when there wasn’t enough. At the hotel there is a piscine naturelle and as soon as you leave the piscine you can see many different fish, so you don’t have to go far to have a great opportunity for snorkeling. There weren’t a lot of vegetarian dishes on the menu but they quickly managed to offer different options, which were all really tasty."

"The lodge is by the water, very peaceful and the staff were super friendly. Marc was an amazing host. Even though he was not there when we got there, he took care of us so well - he gave great tips about what to do and supported us with every request we made. We will definitely come back."
"The food was not consistent, sometimes it’s great sometimes it’s terrible. The coffee was really bad."
"The host Marc is just amazing and his staff too! He helped us with everything and was very alert and offered great recommendations of what to do and see and great service. Also we loved the facility, the restaurant, and the bungalows and had an overall very good experience. We spent our Christmas holidays there and would definelty come back!"

"Sehr schöne Lage direkt am See. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin."
Hans Chez Koukoune
"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."
