Frequently asked questions

There are two ways to book. You can reserve directly on Booking.com, with instant confirmation and payment according to the platform's terms. You may also use the enquiry form on our website: tell us your dates and the number of guests, and we will get back to you with availability and details. A direct enquiry is often the most flexible option for longer stays or specific needs.

No, there is no minimum length imposed: our apartments are just as suited to a passing stay of a few nights as to one of several weeks or months. The slow-travel rhythm lends itself especially well to longer visits, giving you time to make Mahajanga a place to live rather than merely a stopover.

Yes. The nightly rate eases for weekly stays, and further still for monthly ones. This suits those who settle in for a while: long-haul travellers, expatriates in transition, extended business trips. Share your dates through the form and we will send you a tailored proposal.

Each apartment is furnished and ready to live in: washed-linen bedding, bath linen, and a kitchen equipped for preparing your own meals. Housekeeping and fresh linen are provided under terms we confirm at booking, at a frequency suited to the length of your stay. Our intention remains the same throughout: the calm of a home, the care of a hotel.

We arrange a personal welcome on arrival: someone hands you the keys, shows you the apartment and answers your first questions. Please let us know your arrival time in advance, especially in the evening or after a late flight, so we can prepare your arrival in the best conditions. Our aim is for you to feel at home the moment you step through the door.

We have three strictly identical apartments: same layout, same fittings, same rate. There is no choice to weigh and no compromise to fear. You know exactly what you are booking. Each one comfortably hosts a couple, a solo traveller or a small family. To confirm the exact capacity for your group, simply state the number of guests in your enquiry.

Yes, the kitchen is equipped for everyday cooking: hob, refrigerator, utensils and tableware. This is one of the advantages an apartment holds over a room: you bring local produce back from the market and cook it at your own pace. The rest of the space brings together pale wood, cross-flowing light and local materials, lime and ceramic, for a calm and restful setting. The exact amenities are detailed to you at booking.

For bookings made through Booking.com, payment follows the platform's terms. For a direct enquiry, we will tell you which payment methods are accepted when we confirm your stay. Do feel free to ask about this: we would rather give you a clear answer than leave you uncertain. We welcome our guests in both French and English, in writing and in person.

Families are welcome: the space and the fully equipped kitchen make life together far gentler than in a hotel room. As for pets, we consider requests case by case, so as to preserve the calm and care of the place for all our guests. The easiest thing is to mention it in your enquiry: tell us the make-up of your group and, where relevant, your pet, and we will work it out together.
