Lucy's Guesthouse

家庭旅館，男的有點死板，不通情理，要走一段土路，下雨的話比較麻煩

房屋面積不大，但乾淨衞生，管理有序。房東姐姐友好熱情。有機會會考慮再住。位置在碼頭和德阿讓海灘之間，步行和騎行均可。

the room is phenomenal, clean and equipped as well as the kitchen. bathroom to be praised. I highly recommend it. the host is pleasant and helpful. all recommendations for the apartment and host Alex

The guesthouse is about a 16-minute walk from the jetty, which is manageable but worth noting if you're arriving with luggage. Unfortunately, our stay here was disappointing for several reasons. There is loud construction (sawing, hammering, etc.) going on right next door, starting around 7:00 AM — not exactly ideal for a relaxing island getaway. Upon arrival, the owner rushed through our welcome, saying he had to "catch a boat," though he still made time to collect the cash payment for our stay. Strangely, despite needing to catch a boat (which, on La Digue, usually means a considerable trip), he was back within two hours. Even though he knew exactly when we were arriving, the A/C in our room was off, leaving it uncomfortably hot. The minifridge wasn’t working either — he claimed the previous guest must have turned it off — but offered that we could use the shared kitchen and keep our food in the communal fridge. Unfortunately, this led to an even worse experience. While cooking dinner on our first night (which is often necessary on La Digue, especially on a Monday when many restaurants are closed), the gas ran out mid-meal. I texted him to let him know, expecting some help. Instead, he told me to just put my half-cooked food in the fridge. When I explained I was actively cooking and asked if he could do anything, he disappeared for about 30 minutes. I assumed he was trying to fix the issue, but when he returned, he told me he'd contacted my booking company and was informed that kitchen access wasn’t technically included in my reservation — completely ignoring the immediate problem and showing zero empathy for our situation. There was no apology, no effort to help, and certainly no sense of hospitality. His response was indifferent and dismissive, which felt particularly harsh given the challenges of finding food options on the island at that hour. Ultimately, I canceled our second night. Between the construction noise, poor hospitality, and lack of basic care for guests, I wouldn’t stay here again.

I had a very positive experience with Lucy’s guesthouse. Cleopatra, the lady in charge, was extremely helpful, as was Alex. Much to my surprise, they tidied up my room whenever I went out and even hung my towel out on a rack to dry (admittedly I was a little embarrassed when I came back from a brief walk on the first day because I left the room a bit messy and it was all cleaned up promptly). Along with good hospitality, I was given good advice on what beaches were best on La Digue and where the best take-away restaurants were. The suggestion I have for improvement is to upgrade the non-mountain bikes and put lights on the bikes you rent, as it can be dark at night in certain corners of La Digue. Other than that, thanks for an excellent stay.

Alex was a very friendly host. We were able to spontaneously book breakfast and bicycles for selected days without any problems. We felt very comfortable and welcome. The location is inland, but everything on La Digue is easily accessible. You have everything you need! The price-performance here is really great! We would come back and recommend it to others :)
