Spacious room in a good location

Good location near the beautiful Beau Vallon beach. The room had ample space with a large balcony. There was no view but it was nice to sit out there and I enjoyed watching several geckos on the ceiling. Decorative touches included making the bed with folds and folding the toilet paper roll. However upon arrival the top sheet of my bed had many tiny ants crawling all over it which they remedied immediately by changing the sheets. I also found the bed and pillows uncomfortable. The rooms are on the upper level which requires getting luggage up the stairs though fortunately there is a bell boy to help. The kitchen had a frigo bar, stove burners, microwave, toaster and hot water heater. Although I was required to checkout by 10am I was allowed to use a shower later to wash off the sand before my flight which was a great help.

Great value and wonderful host

Stephen, the host, is incredibly accommodating and nice. We were very comfortable and pleased with our experience at Forest Lodge. It's a bit of a hike to the beach or the bus stop, but it's a pleasant walk.

Subtle comforts

Our stay here was good. If we had not planned to go to different areas of Seychelles, it would have been a nice place to just relax. The TV and wifi worked well, the bedding and towels were clean, and the furnished patio was a nice place to relax.

We had a nice stay at Forest Lodge. The room was spacious and clean and Stephen was a very kind and helpful host. The location is quite remote (we liked it) and you'll need a car to get around but it's probably better to have a car to visit Mahe anyway.

Lovely studio in forest surroundings

The property is run by a very friendly and helpful couple who went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. For e.g., when the studio wifi failed they set us up on their personal home wifi (which is next door). The kitchen was well stocked with the basics and the room and bathroom were very comfortable. However a car is essential, the hotel is located some distance away from the main road up a rather winding and hilly incline.

nice guest house, close to a nice cool forest.

the beauty of staying in small self catering guest house is that you get to cook and eat what you like esp. if you're on a budget holiday, further you get the attention you may never get from a huge establishment.

Friendly, peaceful and clean. Stayed for five nights and enjoyed it! It is located in the hills so a bit of steep walking required to get home from shops, beaches. 15-20min walk into town. 5min to shops.

Trivelig sted, men dårlig lokasjon

Helt okei rom og veldig trivelige ansatte. Utfordringen med dette stedet er at der langt unna der det skjer ting, tar ca 20 min å gå. Man evt. ta buss, men lodgen er langt oppi skogen så man må gå ekstremt langt. For folk som er litt ute av form så er det ikke så trivelig. Taxi er vanskelig å få tak i, man må kjenne en fyr som kjenner en fyr, som man har nummeret til og det litt tilfeldig om de kan eller ikke. Anbefaler å leie bil, da er stedet en helt ok rimelig løsning.
