Daniella’s Bungalow is a MUST-STAY property.

First, you will be amazed by the kindness and helpfulness of the manager, Ms. Elcia, and the entire staff. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful stay.

Next, the bungalows are beautiful. The room is quite large, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is nice. The room has ac, a mini fridge, tv, ample closets, shelves and drawers. There is also a porch, where you can sit and enjoy the gorgeous view of the property or step off of the porch and view the mountain in the back. You can also enjoy these gorgeous views when you are eating breakfast, which they provide daily.
*Tip: see if Krishna is available for a game of badminton. You will have a fantastic time and get a great workout.

Additionally, there is a beach just steps away from the property. There is also a trail not too far from the property, which takes you to another gorgeous beach, which most people access by water taxi. You are also near local grocery stores and restaurants.

The only issue I have with Daniella’s Bungalow is having to leave the property. It felt like we were staying at the home of our favorite family members. I wish we could have stayed longer.

SN: I fell and hurt myself while exploring the neighborhood. Astra(?) was so great about helping me get the medical care I needed. She truly was a godsend.

Overall very good stay. Location next to a small beach or a 10-15 minute walk along the road (no sidewalk) to the bigger beach. The room was comfortable with AC and a fan. The breakfast was simple but good. They took care of me by organizing a carpool with another guest to the airport which saved me money!

only for sleep , it is ok

there is nothing closer /to access to market, u must walk for a while, maybe 15 -20 minutes, but the road is dangerous to walk, not any sidewalk, at night just darkness, you need to go near hotels to find a drink or food..

Amazing staff very quite and secluded beach

The place was a real gate away from work and hustle of a big city dweller...
The beach is just a minute walk after crossing the road, how ideal !
The staffs are friendly and enjoyable and they make a delicious omelets...
The manager Elcia was like a mother telling me how to avoid taxi tariffs and to use the city bus which is really convenient!...
Big love to all the staff for giving a nice vacation..!!!..

pleasant guesthouse, delightful staff

I loved this place. The staff were super-friendly and kind, the room was spacious and clean, and the grounds of the guesthouse were lovely, with pleasant porches to sit on during breakfast or in the evening. Beau Vallon is a 20-30 minute walk away, which I found doable, though there are a couple of hotel restaurants and bars that are closer. Breakfast was nice. The wifi in the communal lounge area worked fine.

Great place to stay

We had a wonderful holiday at Daniella's Bungalows, rooms are clean and tidy and set in a lovely garden. Staff are friendly and very helpful and can help arrange boat trips and taxis. The nearby beach is great for swimming and good for snorkelling also, saw a turtle there which was the highlight of the holiday. We will go back one day.

Cosy bungalows and friendly owner

Bungalows are located across the street from a very quiet part of a beautiful beach and they are just what you need in Seychelles. Nice breakfast, served by the staff, clean and comfortable, no TV (as you don't need one), wifi in the central area and a very friendly owner who helps you with some useful tips. You definitely need a car in Seychelles, so you don't have a problem with going to Beau Valon (cca 3 km) and dining out.

FRIENDLY home from home

We as a couple visiting Seychelles for the first time chose Daniella's for the location near Beau Vallon beach. Although we arrived early at about 9 am we were warmly greeted by owner Elcia and given the room immediately and invited to take breakfast without any question of extra cost- something you don't get in hotels. The bungalows are set in a beautiful well kept garden. The rooms were always cleaned - really cleaned- every day and we felt that they were really cared for.
Elcia was always happy to organize and offer advice on tours, outings, restaurants, taxis etc. and we learned was well respected everywhere we went.
It was a real pleasure to stay there, just like visiting a close friend.

Affordable, comfortable and clean.

The manager Elcia was a wonderful host. The bungalows were clean and comfortable, there is a main kitchen where you can cook if you buy food locally. Gardens are beautiful and 5 min walk from a secluded beach with Beau Vallon beach about 25 min walk or 5 mins on the bus or by taxi. Bus stop is just outside the accommodation and getting to Victoria the capital was very easy about 15 mins by bus. It was a quiet location with a couple of restaurants within 15 mins walk. Otherwise you can go to Beau Vallon where there was more choice of restaurants and hotel bars. There is a night club about 15 mins walk away. We booked a taxi trip to Eden Island where there are a couple of nice restaurants, though pricey. We did a great tour of of Praslan and La Digue Islands by ferries booked through Masons Tour company. Elcia is happy to help booking tours at reasonable prices. Overall a fabulous week saw all the island plus a couple of others and relaxed on great beaches.

Average

Average budget stay on Mahe Island. Certainly more private if you're looking to stay away from the resorts but you lose amenities. My recommendation is look into all-inclusive packages in the Seychelles. After a week on the island that's the way I would do it in the future. Plus transfers will be covered (which cost a tremendous amount in the Seychelles).

Wonderful

The best place to stay for the real Seychelles as this is not a \"corporate pre-packaged full-board all inclusive\" hotel. The owner operator was really wonderful to her guests. Clean, comfortable, welcoming. Recommend a small rental car to facilitate getting to and from SEZ airport, sight seeing the island and ease of restaurants for lunch and dinner.

A relaxing stay near Beau Vallon Beach

We had a warm and friendly welcome. The no-frills room was immaculate, comfortable and was cleaned daily. Air conditioning worked well for a comfortable night sleep. Towels were provided in the room and for the beach. Gardens were well maintained with an array of colour. The breakfast was varied daily with local fresh fruit, a choice of cooked eggs, tea, coffee, fruit juice and toast. We were helped with any problems we had with onward booking etc. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent stay.

A pleasant surprise

We had booked at Daniella's Bungalows as a convenience for the last day of our two weeks holiday. The moment we arrived we realised that we could have enjoyed a few more days staying there. The bungalows are set in a beautiful garden just above the road, across which is a beautiful deserted stretch of beach. The bus stop is right in front and the touristy Beau Vallon area is a short walk away. The rooms are spotless and airy, though the air-conditioning is supplementary.

Great Value and Great Location

Was looking for simple, but good quality acoomodations that were not at a big resort. These no frills, but very comfortable rooms were in a great location with a beautiful landscaped setting - there is a secluded public beach 200 m away. The breakfast was decent and the ac is extra.

Excellent in every way

Daniella's bungalows are set in a beautifully maintained and gorgeously colourful garden. The spacious and comfortable bedroom and large functional bathroom met oall our needs. Breakfasts on the airy balcony chatting with other guests and the friendly staff was a pleasure. Access to kitchen facilities made it home from home. Beaches, buses, restaurants within walking distance. Eveything you could want!

Great Bangalows, simply and carefully furnished to provide a comfortable and quiet stay surrounded by a well maintained tropical garden with flowers, fruit trees, birds…
3 mins to a lovely quiet beach, 15 mins walk the noisier, livelier area of Beau Vallon.
The Hostess is especially attentive and caring, and together with a friendly stuff the service was personal and warm.
The breakfast is simple, tasty and fresh.
It’s the simplicity of the Bangalows and the warmth of its stuff that makes it pretty unique and give the feeling of being a part of the local community.

God totaloplevelse. Herlige mennesker

Fantastisk imødekommende personale, der ikke bare var hjælpsomme, men som oftest klarede tingene for os, nærmest uden at vi behøvede at bede dem om det.
Bl.a. Valutaveksling (uden gebyr!), rabat på opholdet = en overnatning gratis, og det var ikke noget vi bad om, hjælp til billeje, klarede de uden videre og til en god pris. Ingen probleme!
De var bare så søde, og det opvejer alt hvad vi ellers kunne have fundet af små knaster. Skønt ophold!

老板和老板娘人都很好，让小哥带我们去附近小卖部购买食材等，还帮拎回来（当然我们有给小费）
民宿型的，可以使用厨房，有可以饮用的矿泉水，早餐非常丰盛！

WIFI只有在餐厅有，不给力很难连接。
有点难找，但其实位置不错，离博瓦隆很近。

Familial Hotel in beautiful garden

Quiet, clean rooms in nice double bungalows in a large garden. Common, clean kitchen in the main house can be used as needed. Very friendly and helpful landlady that gives you hints and organizes rental cars or excursions while giving you the space you want. Just across the road there's a small beach while the great Beauvallon beach is just a 10 minute walk away (through the Fisherman's Cove). Bus station in front of the estate. Contact Daniella directly for more information. Definite recommendation!

Erholsame Ferien in familiär geführtem Hotel

Das Hotel besteht aus einer kleinen Bungalowanlage in einem grossen sehr gepflegten Garten. Das Zimmer war einfach, landestypisch und nett ohne viel Schnickschnack eingerichtet, aber grosszügig geschnitten, sehr sauber und mit eigenem Duschbad und Terrasse ausgestattet. Morgens bekommt man Frühstück auf einer überdachten Terrasse serviert mit selbstgemachtem Fruchtsaft und frischen Früchten aus dem Garten. Falls man tagsüber oder abends nicht Essen gehen will kann man sich in der Gemeinschaftsküche selbst versorgen und Lebensmittel im Kühlschrank deponieren. Die sehr herzliche und hilfsbereite Managerin kümmert sich persönlich und verbindlich um das Wohl ihrer Gäste, hilft und vermittelt auch gerne bei Ausflugstouren, Transport usw.

Ras, super acceuil.

Bon accueil, chambre récupérée à 10h au lieu des 12h annoncées.
Propriétaire super accueillante. Petit dej copieux, staff agréable. Arrêt de bus à 20m. Bon rapport qualité prix. Un peu éloigné du \"centre ville\" et des restaurants. Petit supermarché à proximité. Clim qui fonctionne. Possibilité de réserver une voiture de location amenée à l'heure souhaitée à l'hôtel. Pratique, prévoir voiture pour aller à l'aéroport ou à la jetée, ca évite de payer un taxi. Internet gratuit, mais limité aux messages et surf sur différents sites, envoi de fichiers ou photos bloqueé (pour info, internet est vraiment pas donné aux Seychelles). Possibilité de garder la chambre un peu plus tard si c'est possible niveau réservation, ce qui est très appréciable pour laisser les affaires et prendre une douche avant de partir. En conclusion, je recommande cet hôtel guets house, pas de mauvaises surprises et super accueil.

eccellente rapporto qualità-costo

Ottima sistemazione. C'è tutto quello di cui si ha bisogno in un posto come mahè. I bungalow sono essenziali, pulitissimi, silenziosi, con efficiente e silenziosa aria condizionata, in un giardino tenuto impeccabilmente. Colazione essenziale e semplice. Indispensabile avere una macchina per fare tutto. Unico neo: il wi-fi nelle aree comuni funziona pochissimo.

Fantastisk service :))

Hun som driver Daniellas heter Elzie - en fantastisk dame som tar veldig godt hånd om gjestene sine.Stedet ligger et stykke utenom sentrum så minuset er at en er avhengig av bil/buss. Bussen suser forbi rett nedi veien og kosterbare 5 seych rupi - grisebillig :) Koster forresten det samme om du reiser til Victoria og - vær forberedt på en busstur av de sjeldne :)) Bungalowene er pene og rene. Fellesarealet også - her kan du handle inn mat og putt i kjøleskap slik at du har det mest nødvendige. En kveld kjørte de oss inn for å kjøpe pizza.Vi var på samme stedet i 14 dager - litt i lengste laget - ta heller litt øyhopping...Praslin og spesielt La Digue er noe av det fineste vi har sett. Vi tok katamaranbåt mellom øyene.Eller - husk solkrem - solen er sterk!!!

Överbeskyddande

Mycktet fint och fräscht men extremt överbeskyddande dam som äger detta. Jag har aldrig varit så rädd i mitt liv som när jag bodde där en natt... Damen skrämde mig något sjukligt. Hon påstod att jag inte kunde gå någonstans utan att bli rånad eller påhoppad bara för att jag var ensam tjej, inte ens på ljusa dagen.. Som tur var spenderade jag bara 1 natt där av mina 2 månader i Seychellerna som förövrigt inte är våldsamt alls, dock ska man väl inte gå ensam på nätter och kvällar men inte alls så som hon sa. Väldigt fredliga människor i landet. Bortsett från överbeskyddet så fanns familjen i huset docj alltid till hands och de satte på ett extra larm i mitt rum när jag var rädd, vänliga men överbeskyddande.

Hemtrevligt och utmarkt service

Jag fick jattebra hjalp redan innan jag kom till Daniellas, med att boka bil och utflykt. Inga problem med att checka in lite tidigare, och att sedan ha mojlighet att duscha och forvara min packning den sista dagen, da jag hade en kvallsflight. Personlig service, lugnt och fint omrade, med stranden helt nara och fantastiska solnedgangar. Liten matbutik i narheten dar jag kunde kopa lite mat och laga sjalv, i det stora koket. Bra for ekonomin! Vill verkligen rekommendera Daniella's Bungalows!
