Villa Rafia Guesthouse

The outside looks nice, but inside the property is old and not clean. The woman in charge was rude and seemed not to care once we had paid. There was no water from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. We had asked for a large bed, but when we raised it, she said, “ this is what we have “. Check that you are getting the facilities you requested before paying. The service gave us the impression that they simply don't care. 👎🏻

The bus stop is right outside, whether you're coming from the airport or port or heading to beaches like Georgette or Laze. Shops and restaurants are nearby, too, and you can reach the beach by walking through the neighboring hotel in about five minutes. Our room-apartment was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a fridge and kitchen utensils.

We had the 1BHK apartment, which was just right for us. It was an affordable place to stay near one of Praslin's most beautiful beaches, and the owners were so helpful and kind. I'd definitely recommend it.

The washrooms couldn't be used for much of the day because the water was off from 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. We had asked for a large bed ahead of time, but at check-in we were told, “This is what we have.” The exterior looks pleasant, though inside the place is old, poorly maintained, and not as clean as expected. The woman in charge was polite initially, then became rude and unhelpful after we paid. Service was poor, and staff showed no concern for our comfort. I suggest checking all the facilities before paying, since they don't seem to care about guest satisfaction. 👎🏻
