    You could hear music from the nearby hotel but that stopped around 11pm, so it was not a bother.

    The place was clean and comfortable. The room was on the 3rd floor with a nice view. You could hear the waves from the ocean. Very close to the beach and bus stops. The host was nice, and gave sweets for Diwali.

    Loud music sometimes at night from the big hotels. Noise from a pump coming on at unpredictable intervals can be irritating if you have trouble nodding off.

    Unlike the bland four star hotels nearby, this place has a magical architecture and the rooms are colourfully and imaginatively presented. Comfortable beds and furniture, great kitchen, perfect shower, short walk to beach and buses.

    The only thing i didn't like was the swimming pool downstairs, which had no guard rails around it for safety especially to kids, since we had a 4-year-old who likes or is used to play outdoors, but other than that, it was superb.

    The area was quiet, stone-throw away to the beach. The owners are very caring people and always there for help and offers some great suggestions on how to go around the island.

    Nothing to dislike - spent 7 nights there in total comfort

    My wife and I loved staying at Villa Kissen - lovely building - we stayed in the front one of two similar buildings in a double room, with cooking facilities, on the top floor with terrace to the rear. Room was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Small pool attached to rear villa with sheltered sun terrace - we didn’t need it as beautiful beach was so near, 5 minute walk. Supermarket 5 minute walk. Kissen and all his family were super helpful and cheery.

    The apt was really basic and self contained. The air con was really old, noisy and blowing cold air on top of the bed. The new air con was there, but hadn’t been fully installed yet. So we were told. We hardly got any sleep. Although it said that the property had private parking we ended up having to park our car outside in the public street, as the only available car space was taken by the owner. The flat could do with a bit of a ‘refresh’ and some thorough cleaning. It felt old and outdated. Although we booked and paid for 5 days we ended up leaving earlier and splashing out on a more expensive hotel for our last couple of days in Mauritius.

    Quiet location, short walk to public beach. The owner (mr. Kissen) was really helpful. We were able to check in at 3am in the morning after our flight was delayed for over 4 hours!

    Cleanliness was a problem. The bedroom curtains, sheet and walls was dirty. I have photo's of the curtains and sheets. The kitchen cupboards, fridge and microwave needs a thorough cleaning. The toilet blocked on our 2nd day. There was only 1 toilet roll. The toilet roll was not used in 1 day as per the owners response. We also had to request for the place to be cleaned on the third day. Towels was only provided then. We moved out on the 4th day after we paid for 7. The wall plugs are filthy. The place needs a serious upgrade. Cleanliness more than anything. If something is old it can still be cleaned. (the owner says the fridge, microwave and plugs are old) And the restaurant does not exist anymore since covid according to the owner.

    It was in walking distance from the beach snd restaurants and public transport.

    Everything. I highly recommend this accommodation. Lovely family running this hotel. It's very clean, very comfortable, safe, very close to good supermarket and nice bakery. Good internet, hot water. I felt like at home. I organised for a day trip with the owner on the island, and I was able to visit everything I wanted. I also think they have the nicest beach on the island.

    So Happy We Picked This
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Apartment (2 Adults)
    • Stayed 7 nights

    We liked pretty much everything about this place. It's comprised of a bedroom (a comfy double bed and AC), a bathroom and a sitting/dining room with a TV (which we never turned on :)) and a fully equipped kitchen (large fridge, gas, microwave, coffee machine...), as well as an extra single bed. We slept well, we liked the esthetic of the place and, even though we weren't cooking, having an actual kitchen came in handy on a couple of occasions during our stay. The location is really nice. It's in a quiet little street (biggest source of noise - chirpy birds) that's only a few steps away from one of the best beaches on the island, as well as some nice restaurants and one of the main supermarkets in the area. We also have to mention the host, who is an absolute treasure. Relaxed, kind, at hand whenever he can (text at random hour: "Do you have some clothes pegs we could borrow?", two minutes later there was a knock at our door and there they were). Do not miss the chance to try out his restaurant for some tasty authentic food! We ended up going a second time and it was probably our favourite meal of the whole trip (which really says something as food is generally great in Mauritius). Don't hesitate to ask for help organizing an excursion around the island either, we ended up spending a lovely day touring the south together.

    Couldn't find anything during my 2-day stay :)

    Incredible value for money. My apartment had everything you might need for even a very long stay. Fully equipped kitchen with absolutely everything you can need, new, ecological AC, comfortable bed, enough space to host up to 3 people. I absolutely loved the decoration and overall vibe of the studio. The location is also perfect, very close to the beach, bus stop, shop,... And most importantly, Mr. Kassim was really kind and helpful and so was his family. I really felt great at this place and would love to stay longer.

    Owner and wife rude and dishonest - frightening experience. . Bed terrible with humps, air conditioning very bad sounds as if it will fall off wall terrible noise. Area very noisy at night terrible, day time worse building next door. Had to go to police station due to owner being dishonest about his own rules, I was not allowed to make EFT as stipulated in rules, couldn't pay by card. Photo attached throwing my luggage on tar road after police told them to be honest and let me pay MR5000 and not MR14 000. The owner boasted that he does double bookings to harm South Africans and that he hates South African citizens!!!
