Overall Ratings & Reviews Avamada Lodge

Convenient for airport. Nice place (with a pool and good food) to rest during a layover.

Stayed one night and they let me store my bag there for a couple nights

Très bon accueil. Personnel très aimable et attentionné. Bonne table.

The pool was very dirty and unusable.

There is no shuttle in spite of my being told that I would be met at the airport. Take a taxi! They only provide a free shuttle TO the airport. The place is very clean and the bed comfortable. The smell, however, of fowl poop permeants everything. The staff are all nice. The location isn't conducive to wandering anywhere.

Poor communication. No email address or phone number. No pickup from airport as agreed. No electricity from 8:45 p.m. to 2:45 a.m. Lots of crowing and gobbling; place smells of turkey poop. Many different levels of walking surfaces, giving ample tripping opportunities.

Close to the airport and convenient free taxi service is included. The room was quite big but an issue with the water supply.

The hotel is very nice and the staff are very professional The sunsets are amazing and the food is delicious. The room are comfortable and well equipped but there is not beach view from my room.

The good news is that Expedia made right this problematic stay. The bad news is that the hotel fell down in several key areas: The free airport shuttle never materialized, despite the hotel confirming. The room had no AC, though the listing said it did. Other minor issues: room had a smell; room was dark and one fan didn't work; "included" breakfast included only coffee and bread (eggs available for extra). It was also difficult to contact the hotel, as their telephone number according to expedia and web was disconnected. (Fortunately, Expedia was able to give me their email address, though, as noted, it proved to be in vain regarding the airport shuttle). That said, Expedia was GREAT

Excellent budget-priced place to stay when en route to and/or from the airport. Free transfers, free continental breakfast, WiFi, comfortable bed, hot water, restaurant, and pool to lounge by - everything I wanted!

Airport pickup was excellent after a late flight arrival, helpful at arrivals lounge and arranged car straight to hotel. Organised very early basic breakfast for next day. Bed and room were clean but bathroom needs maintenance, sink not draining and broken towel rail. Bed ok but pillows lumpy. Overall what we need for short overnight stay. Fit for purpose.

Lovely quaint place individual entrepreneur I try to support the economy and people there. Not a whole lot of extra amenities and Madagascar shut off their electricity a lot but if you want a wonderful island vibe this is the place. I’ve never been woken up by a turkey before but they have a pet turkey and he loves to talk to you.!!!! I made sure it was a pet and not their next dinner😜😜🦃

Great place to stay near the airport before a flight. Affordable dinner, free continental breakfast, and a free aiport shuttle. Only issue was the twin bed didn't have a mosquito net, and the electric went off so the fan didn't work. So, we had to choose open windows with mosquitos, or hot room with no mosquitos.

Nice place but off track. Good that free shuttle is offered but only to and from airport. Difficult to find when sun is gone.

Beautiful space and very relaxing!

Comfortable, quiet, convenient to the airport.

Fabulous hotel, fabulous hosts nothing too much trouble, very friendly and welcoming. Even gave me some milk for my tea in my room. Food was spectacular. Zebu steaks out of this world. Enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for return journey.

Used as a stop over for a 1am flight home. Clean, comfy room, hot water, friendly staff & lovely food. Plus a free transfer to the airport. Would recommend this lovely , family run hotel

Misleading: the description of the property's amenities included free WiFi, blow dryer, air conditioning and heating. The truth is that the WiFi reception was good only in the middle of the pool patio; the ancient blow dryer blew warmish air, and there was no A/C or heating (note: the temperatures were at 50F at night). Also, the shower was unusable as it had no door/curtain and was quite grimy/rusty; the bidet didn't work, the lighting in the room was insufficient and gloomy. On the bright side, the bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly (some only spoke Malagasy), and this place would do in a pinch if you were desperate. I would not recommend this place, would have rather spent twice as much somewhere else.

Pool and air conditioning a big help when hot. Food surprisingly exellent in a small kitchen. Prompt at collecting me from the airport.
