    Honestly, everything was great.

    We had an amazing stay at Dovas Self Catering! The apartment was very clean, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. The kitchen had all the essentials, the bed was super comfortable and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The location is fantastic, quiet and peaceful, but still close to the beach, shops and bus stop. We especially enjoyed the beautiful garden and the relaxing atmosphere around the house. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, aways ready to give us tips about the island, recommend places to visit and even helped us with transport. Their warm hospitality really made us feel at home. Overall, it was the perfect base for exploring Mahé, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! 🌴✨

    It's a pitty I coudn't pay with my mastercard, and had to go to an ATM to fetch some cash, as it was advertised on booking that mastercard was accepted. But this is an issue e actually encountered in a lot of places (in takeaways) in Seychelles, that mastercard was not working.

    the appartment was really big, really convenient.

    The host is a beautiful person and she made us our stay. Also, it is close to the beach - just 5mins walk and you can find many beautiful fish. Also, there is a small supermarket and cafe. It was really comfortable and big enough with three kids. We would love to come back!

    Nothing to dislike. We would gladly stay there again.

    Everything was great for us (family with 2 small kids). It’s quiet, clean, green, safe, close to a beautiful beach by foot (great for children). The host was very caring, friendly and lovely. She cooks the best fish on the island 😀

    Nothing

    The accommodation is very clean, believe me, super clean to compare with other apartments I stayed, the owners Valina and her husband Donald are super friendly and helping with everything u need, we felt like we are not guests, we felt like we are family. Valina made us very tasty curry and was bringing my daughter always bananas which she loves a lot. Donald showed us around, dropped us to the shop to buy the groceries and a lot more, believe me, anything you need. There is kitchen with all utilities, AC, TV, fridge and very beautiful balcony where u can make BBQ. The beach is just 3 min walk( nice one, not crowded at all, u feel it private))Hilton Double tree and small shop around 3 min walk also. We had a very nice stay and a nice short vacation just because of the hosts. Wanna say big thanks and recommend to everyone if u wanna clean quiet place to relax and enjoy the nature. Very peaceful place to relax. We will come back for sure and recommend to all our friends

    I arrived at the apartment before my preferred time and guess what. The room was ready just waiting for me. I met Valina who was so accommodative and friendly. I felt in love with the cleanliness standards of the place and the spaciousness.

    weak wifi, it only worked well in the living room, not in the bedroom air conditioning directly opposite the bed, I would recommend moving the bed to a different place, because we turned it off and on again all night

    the apartment was close to the beach Anse Forbans, approx. 3 minutes on foot. Not far from the famous Takamaka and Indendance beaches (10-15 min by car) spacious living room where our children could run and play :)

    nothing I can think off.

    everything was perfect. we couldn’t ask for a more comfort stay. if you like be near beaches, if you like to have a peaceful , calm and pleasant stay then this is perfect. Valina (property owner) ensures that we have a wonderful stay. it feels more like a home in this property to be honest. we enjoyed every it. recommend to have your own car to travel around. it’s makes super easy. since the taxi rates are bonkers..
