Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The good news is that Expedia made right this problematic stay. The bad news is that the hotel fell down in several key areas: The free airport shuttle never materialized, despite the hotel confirming. The room had no AC, though the listing said it did. Other minor issues: room had a smell; room was dark and one fan didn't work; "included" breakfast included only coffee and bread (eggs available for extra). It was also difficult to contact the hotel, as their telephone number according to expedia and web was disconnected. (Fortunately, Expedia was able to give me their email address, though, as noted, it proved to be in vain regarding the airport shuttle). That said, Expedia was GREAT

Excellent budget-priced place to stay when en route to and/or from the airport. Free transfers, free continental breakfast, WiFi, comfortable bed, hot water, restaurant, and pool to lounge by - everything I wanted!

Overnight near hotel.
Airport pickup was excellent after a late flight arrival, helpful at arrivals lounge and arranged car straight to hotel. Organised very early basic breakfast for next day. Bed and room were clean but bathroom needs maintenance, sink not draining and broken towel rail. Bed ok but pillows lumpy. Overall what we need for short overnight stay. Fit for purpose.

Lovely quaint place individual entrepreneur I try to support the economy and people there. Not a whole lot of extra amenities and Madagascar shut off their electricity a lot but if you want a wonderful island vibe this is the place. I’ve never been woken up by a turkey before but they have a pet turkey and he loves to talk to you.!!!! I made sure it was a pet and not their next dinner😜😜🦃

Good overnight before a flight
Great place to stay near the airport before a flight. Affordable dinner, free continental breakfast, and a free aiport shuttle. Only issue was the twin bed didn't have a mosquito net, and the electric went off so the fan didn't work. So, we had to choose open windows with mosquitos, or hot room with no mosquitos.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Misleading: the description of the property's amenities included free WiFi, blow dryer, air conditioning and heating. The truth is that the WiFi reception was good only in the middle of the pool patio; the ancient blow dryer blew warmish air, and there was no A/C or heating (note: the temperatures were at 50F at night). Also, the shower was unusable as it had no door/curtain and was quite grimy/rusty; the bidet didn't work, the lighting in the room was insufficient and gloomy. On the bright side, the bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly (some only spoke Malagasy), and this place would do in a pinch if you were desperate. I would not recommend this place, would have rather spent twice as much somewhere else.

Very nice host, very convenient location
Such a nice host - what an introduction to Madagascar's hospitality - we landed in the middle of night in Tana Avamada was there to welcome and take us with 0 wait time. Logde was few min from the airport. Liked the nice garden within the compound. Breakfast came in quite handy as well as there is not much around this place.
