"An excellent localization with good view (next to the sea), very clean, good food and a gently staff. We loved having been there."
"The Wi-Fi Signal wasn’t good and we couldn’t change the temperature of the AC (it was always automatic)."
"Very nice place directly at the beach. Lovely big room, with amazing sea view."
"My room was directly next to the restaurant which was a bit noisy at times, could hear the last ones leaving in the evening and the first ones starting again in the morning"
"Amazing food. Inclusive breakfast was very generous. Evening meal not included but great value for money and very tasty! Beautiful room which was comfy and clean. Will definitely stay again."
"There was nothing I didn’t like about the stay. There was an issue with Mastercard, so payment was difficult. Would have been helpful to know this prior to my stay."

"Aucun."
"Fabulous stay from all points of view. Super clean and tidy apartment. Exceptional restaurant. Friendly and super helpful staff, never met such wonderful people in all my years of traveling. Excellent value for money and thanks again Samara."
"Nothing. A note is related to the beach: the Samara is on the sea, but there are only two preformed plastic deckchairs available; I think that adding a couple of basic loungers would make everything more welcoming."
"Right on the beach. Nice, clean, air-conditioned and well appointed and spacious room. Only one minor negative, no door/ proper separation of bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helped us book activities at competitive prices. Overall, would thoroughly recommend and happy to return. Lovely long-weekend visit from JHB."
"No much really. It was really nice."
"We cannot Thank more Samara Lodge, we had the absolute best experience and wouldnt go elsewhere if we go back to Vilankulos. Everything was just perfect!"
"Cannot think of something we didnt like"
"The property is right on the beach, and the seaview room provided exactly that — an exquisite sea view which came with a beautiful sunrise every morning."
"The sea view room is right next to one of the only roads providing access to this part of the beach, hence it is a busy road. At night, this can be quite loud as people come and go along the beach."

"It is a really nice spot, host was lovely and bed and room was really comfortable. Spotless clean. Photos do not do it justice!"
"The complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day with the ocean breeze and the staff was amazing. A man by the name of Wilson can show you amazing places that you might not know exists and knows everything about Vilankulos. My wife and i spent a lot of time with him as he showed us amazing views and treated us like gold. Very caring and knows how to to make us laugh and smile making our stay more than we expected."

"The accommodation truly ticked all the boxes — cleanliness, location, comfort, facilities, and value for money. Everything was well-maintained, neat, and thoughtfully prepared to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The host went above and beyond, always checking in to ensure we had everything we needed, and the staff were friendly, respectful, and efficient. We really appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. It felt like a home away from home, and we’d definitely love to stay here again!"
