Reviews
Lindy and Jemmy are great hosts !
The rooms were cleaned every morning when we were not home and the sheets and towels changed. The WiFi works super well and there is an outside kitchen surrounding by a beautiful garden.
The location is also super well as it is close to a shop where you can buy food and drinks and the stunning beach Anse Source d'Argent.
We will definitely come back !
- The place is not clean, there are ants everywhere is the kitchen, and the fridge is very dirty
- There is no wifi at the accommodation
- They rented me a bike from their place, and they made me pay 150SCR per day at the end, when everywhere else is 100SCR.
- We agreed on a price of 400SCR per night before I checked in and when I left, they asked me to pay 800SCR per night. I tried to talk with them and explain that it was not the price we discussed, I tried to make a deal but they were insanely stubborn. I ended up getting cash from the ATM 5 min before my ferry departure and I honestly felt like I was robbed!
I met a fair amount of tourist during my stay and you can find a much better place than Bwa Ver, cheaper, with wifi and better hospitality.
