Bathroom could be nicer. Shower water was so little but there is hot water. Better lighting can give better ambiance a well.

It is remote and peaceful. Room was looking towards the bay and brings in the nice breeze. Stuff was lovely and helpful. Recommended.

The accessibility to the place was a bit hard and the shower (running water) is not working properly. Then the room is hot and it’s better to put air conditioning.

The room sea view is amazing and the staff was very kind.

The Internet was very volatile in that particular area where I stayed. Luckily it was noticeably better in the vicinity of the restaurant. But this is a general problem across Madagascar and possibly difficult to remedy.

I had changed my travel plans and ended up staying longer at Hôtel Riziky than anticipated. It was the best decision. The Hotel itself sits on a large, partially forested property right next to a charming beach. From this quiet and sublime setting on the bay the centre of Diego Suarez is reached within 10minutes. It is a perfect location to venture out and explore the Northern Tip of Madagascar, with its rich history and incredible natural land-and seascapes. There are a variety of rooms available on the property to suit the specific needs of guests. My room, on the second floor of one of the white rendered brick buildings, was tastefully furnished and beautifully spacious with a large balcony/window overlooking the bay and sky. There’s even hot water, a rarity in my experience. The food was exceptional, prepared with such dedication and attention, tasted great and always presented beautifully. It often including fresh seafood caught on the day. The breakfast plentiful always accompanied with a freshly made exotic juice. The pricing is very reasonable. Hôtel Riziky is relatively new and is, in its village style setting, still being extended. It is the result of a Malagasy family vision, built and run by three wonderful sisters, amidst other members. It is both, their work and life, which shows in the level of care and the guesthouse model they are realising, which is embedded sensitively on their land. They are always helpful, considered and supportive, catering to my and other guests needs. I had the best time and was profoundly touched by the genuine, easeful and welcoming mood and gestures. Can’t wait to return.

Very beautiful familiar hotels. The environment , the flora around ,plants fruits direct from the trees... In the same hotel even the leaves of citronella tea :) The staff make you feel like in home . Is very calm child , beautiful sunsets & sunrises. Very clean , armonioso ... The little beach is full at weekend but if you go walking by the stones you can go to another area more calm even chill out under a tree while you eat an apple seeing the sea , the mountains listening the birds,maybe some time a child guiding a cows . . ( like a movie )Is so so wonder ful!!!

The room gets quite hot at night even with open doors and a mosquito screen on doors and window would help.

Great breezy rooms but a bit hot at night. Wonderful staff/owners and very good food (good value too). Fresh and prepared with care. We really enjoyed our stay there. Quiet and peaceful and the hotel arranges local transport very easily.

We booked the room without A/C as the accomodation was full and it is completely unbearable. It seems that all the heat is concentrated inside

The view, comfortable bed, AMAAAZING food for very affordable prices, polite staff, approach to the beach.

The apartments are located in a beautiful, quiet bay overlooking the blue and green colored ocean close to Diego. The sisters running Riziky were extremely kind and helpful, and they went the extra mile to help us and make this a pleasurable stay. Additionally, we enjoyed the great meals we had at Riziky

The WIFI in our room was extremely poor and for 4 out of 5 days, there was no hot water in the shower room. We did mention this several times and then gave up as nothing appeared to be done. Despite these flaws, I would be happy to book this hotel again, such were the positives.

The staff were all exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The view from our room was heavenly with great vistas of the ocean and land around. The room was large enough and the bed comfortable. The meals provided were excellent and dining with a sea view an added bonus. This is a new, small, private hotel with only 7 rooms in a superb position but somewhat difficult to get to on foot. Sleep quality was excellent.

Not so much but only two things. It’s be greater if they had Wifi and hot water.

The location was perfect! There’s private? beach next to the buildings. Room was big enough and clean. People here are also great! They are kind and friendly. I think it’s too cheap for the place.

Room was not air conditioned, and at night even with a mosquito net the room was infested with bugs. It was much cooler outside than it was in the room. The room had to be at least 85°. Even with the fan they provided we sweated right through our clothes. The heat and bugs were so bad, we checked out at 9:00 pm and moved to a new hotel

Not much
