Our stay at Maggie’s place was the absolute highlight of our trip. When I think back to our time in the Seychelles, it’s our time at Maggie’s little paradise that stands out the most. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in. The apartment is a dream — you can see and hear the ocean from virtually every corner, everything is spotlessly clean, and Maggie’s attention to detail is incredible. Most importantly, Maggie herself is a dream host — so kind, helpful, and warm. She truly made our stay unforgettable. I would return to the Seychelles just to stay at Maggie’s magical apartment again. 1000% recommended!

High quality accomodation on Mahe Island, nice yard and sea view.

I travel a lot, and this was the worst stay I’ve had. We ended up leaving and moving to another place, and we were much happier after the change. Major issues: Disrespectful/discriminatory comments: The host made hostile comments about Americans, which was shocking and made us feel unwelcome. Privacy: The host repeatedly entered the room to turn off the A/C herself and kept insisting we shut it off. This felt intrusive and uncomfortable. Lizards: There were lizards in the room during our stay. Hot water: The host turned off the hot water frequently. I had two showers with cold water because there was no hot water. Bathroom amenities: No shampoo was provided. Pool hygiene: The pool looked dirty with algae, and I felt itching after swimming, so we stopped using it. Towels: The towels provided were very old and worn out, and did not feel clean or comfortable to use. Overall, the room felt dark and unpleasant, and the host’s behavior made us feel unwelcome. I would not recommend this place.

We would recommend or return in a heartbeat. Very high quality accommodation with to die for views. Maggi is protective about her piece of paradise however take the time to get to know the lady, very sincere, proud but also with a big heart.

Beautiful apartments! We were here last October. Swiss perfection meets tropical flair. Well located near the most beautiful beaches of Mahe. Super clean and beautifully furnished! Great tropical garden with pool and sea view.

terrible experience, maggie was very rude and arrogant, she often invaded our privacy by entering the house when we were not present, and she scolded us for not having washed the dishes immediately, for not having turned off the air conditioning, telling us every time that if we did not clean she would make us pay, she made us wait at the airport without warning of the delay, she always answered us in a bad way, do not go to this chalet if you want to be calm and enjoy your holiday

Chalet Bougainville is a very nice place to stay. Both owner were great and supportive. Our small family enjoyed the stay because we had out own house with plenty of space for the little one. We spent long evenings on the huge terrace listing to the ocean and playing games. The pool was also a nice place to cool down.

Unfortunately lack of hospitality Extremely unprofessional, lack of privacy the owner will enter your rental property! on Sunday the day we check inn ( no cleaning required plus no cleaning on Sunday anyway) she snuffed though our stuff just a few minutes after we left! She Will FORBIDDEN you to use air conditioning during the day even if it’s super hot!!!

After visiting 70 countries I must say the Worst Experience ever! Don’t recommend to my worst enemy
