Beautiful place, the owner is very hospitable and the staff very kind. They made our stay fantastic. We stayed in the juior suite, that had a great view with a nice terrace and a small river next to it. The food was fantastic and no inconveniences afterwards :) The room could use some small renovations, but all the rest made up for that.

The bungalows are spacious and have wonderful views across the valley. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is a pleasant 15 minute walk to the village, well worth it for the views and peaceful ambience.

We loved the surroundings of this hotel and the view. Straight into the forest. The restaurant food was very good, though a slight mix up with breakfast which wasn’t served when we asked and delayed us quite a bit for our tour.

Very old bungalow, badly maintained. Lovely surroundings and view. It hasn't the swimming pool advertised on the internet. Nice staff. We didn't eat, just had breakfast, and it was correct. They charge more taxes (4000A/night) than the tourist one (1000 A/night) indicated in the reservation.

You do it for the nature and the kind people in the accommodation. We had a great view in hut 9. You have to do some climbing down (stairs) to get there, but that is worth it. The accommodation itself is really bed. The cushion were not cleaned at all, the mattress was completely worn down. So don’t do it for the comfort. The food we had here was better than in hotel thermal.

Au Domnatur fair review

Amazing location right in the heart of the national park so a really good spot to be based from. The high level bungalows are a steep 5-7 minute walk from reception. Advantages - great views across the rainforest canopies / Disadvantages - not at all suitable for those with accessibility needs and quite basic furnishings but to be honest we only used them to sleep in. Included breakfast was very good and wholesome. We only ate there one night for dinner and whilst convenient if you’re tired, there are better places in the village 5 minutes ride away.

We stayed two nights in two rooms while visiting the National park. The rooms look out onto the forest and have balconies where you can relax and enjoy the view. It is a short drive to the village and the National Park. The staff were attentive and helpful and the food was good - especially breakfast. Sadly the damage caused by cyclones over the last two years mean some rooms are still being repaired and the pool is out of order. I was upgraded to a junior suite which was very comfortable.

misleading pictures

Don't believe the pictures, the swimmingpool doesn't exist! After a visit to the national park (which was extremely valuable!!) this was a dissapointment. Dinner as well as breakfast is poor. On the other hand: beautiful environment, breathtaking views, clean rooms.

The smell of mold, the rotted deck boards, the breakfast (American) was 45,000 Ar vs other (better) hotels at 18,000 Ar. So very disappointed, we woke up early in order to leave immediately.

The hotel is in the NP, that makes it convenient but other than that. Our bungalow smelt very musty, it had a small refrigerator but it didn’t even have a cord to plug it in. The lamp had no bulb, the shower leaked water all over the bathroom floor. A very old location which has been poorly maintained over many years.

Liked: Amenities
The views are awesome and the big glassdoors and balcony help with enjoying the scenery. The garden is very nice. Yet, in our first bungalow the toilet had problems, the lights flickered, the mattress was lumpy and the fridge didn't work. So, we changed to another bungalow. The fridge again didn't work, but the rest was ok. Parking was kind of insecure just next to the busy road. Dinner and breakfast were ok. Plus points for the service to bring tea to the room and organise a guide.

Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir direkt eine Nacht verlĂ€ngert haben! Schon am ersten Abend wurden wir von einem Fahrer in Fianarantsoa abgeholt – der EigentĂŒmer hat uns dabei wirklich sehr geholfen. Auch wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthalts stand er uns jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, sei es beim Buchen eines Busses, der Organisation eines Guides oder mit wertvollen Informationen zur Umgebung. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet! Wir haben nur vegetarisch gegessen und dennoch wurde uns jedes Mal ein besonderes MenĂŒ gezaubert. Die Zimmer sind schön und gemĂŒtlich. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in der Anlage und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Gastfreundschaft des Personals, die wunderschöne Umgebung und der Blick in den Regenwald machen diesen Ort zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Wir können jedem nur empfehlen, hier eine oder zwei NĂ€chte zu verbringen!

Los bungalows estaba a 200 m. de altitud de la recepción, con escalones de piedra. Las paredes tenian rendijas entre cada madera. Las ventanas no cerraban. El mobiliario consistia en cama, mesa camilla no cubierta y una silla. No habia agua caliente. No habia forma de calentarse y estabamos a 12°. Al día siguiente conseguimos que nos cambiaran de habitacion, pero seguia habiendo rendijas en el suelo y una de las habitaciones no tenia agua caliente. Una ducha con agua fria es terrible cuando hacen 12° y no hay estufa ni forma de calentarse. Las instalaciones comues son tambien muy deficitarias, al igual que el restaurante.
