Wish I could give this place a 10+! What a delightful inn! The staff is absolutely wonderful—friendly, professional, and so kind. They took care of everything I needed and connected me with a great driver who took me out to Ganvié, Abomey, and Ouidah. They also took care of my early am arrival and departure for the airport. My room was spotlessly clean with an excellent bed and shower. Food at their restaurant was delicious and well prepared. I loved my stay here.

Great spot! Big, clean rooms with comfy beds and mosquito nets. Our host was lovely and he was able to arrange for an early morning airport transfer and a day tour to Ganvie. The complimentary breakfast is simple but appreciated - we paid extra for eggs, which were super tasty! The location is great, everyone who works here is lovely, and there's a really cute dog.

    We were not offered breakfast. I thought it was not in the package. Benoit was a lovely host, even though he spoke no English and my French was a collection of words!! The place was clean and quiet and close to the airport.

    We stayed in "The Apartment", a self catering apartment affiliated to the Guesthouse and had a wonderful time there. The apartment is beautifully furnished with a lovely huge green balkony. Jürgen was a great host and gave lots of insider tips. Great value for money.
