Farida Lodge

The airport can be reached by shared taxi for an amount ranging from 500 to 1,000 francs. In one review, guests expressed great gratitude to the owners for helping them get to the airport even after midnight due to a flight cancellation.

Guest opinions regarding the staff are sharply divided. Some describe the owners, Farida and Serge, as exceptionally kind, attentive, and helpful people who assist with logistics across the country. Others characterize the hostess as rude and unfriendly, reporting conflicts that led to them being asked to leave the hotel in the evening. It is also mentioned that the staff speaks French and English.

Reviews indicate that payment is made in cash.

Most guests note that the Wi-Fi works normally and is generally stable, although in some cases the connection can be unstable.

Assessments of the room conditions vary greatly. Some guests find them clean and comfortable, while others describe them as basic, worn out, and in need of renovation. There are complaints about the lack of hangers in wardrobes, narrow beds, and a lack of clothing shelves. It was also mentioned that the photos online may not fully correspond to reality.

The cleanliness of the rooms is a subject of serious debate. Some guests are satisfied with the cleaning, but many complain about unsanitary conditions: numerous ants, cockroaches, centipedes, and even rats have been seen in the rooms. The presence of a large number of mosquitoes on the premises is also mentioned.

The operation of the air conditioners causes dissatisfaction among many visitors. Some report that the air conditioner does not cool effectively, while others claim it is completely broken. It is also noted that the equipment only works when there is electricity, which is periodically cut off in the Comoros.

Guests may use the kitchen, which is equipped with a gas stove and a microwave. One of the main features is a large and beautiful terrace with a panoramic view of the ocean, where dolphins can be spotted. There is also a garden on the property; however, there are dogs there that may behave aggressively toward guests.

Some guests note that this is not a full-scale hotel, but rather a small guesthouse (homestay), where rooms are rented out in the owners' residential home. Consequently, standard hotel services, such as breakfast, are not offered at the establishment.
