Relais du Kirindy

We spent one night here on our road trip and the place was lovely. I feel the negative comments are really unfair. The room was good, the pool was clean and nice, and food was actually good too. Yes, you are in the middle of a forest and in the wild, and yes you are in a remote location so electricity in the rooms is only available between certain hours, but the bungalows were really comfortable and lovely. Staff was also very kind.

Very nice staff. This place was so picefull and quiet. In our house the water was warm and everything was very clean. Swiming pool was gratefull and also very clean. The food was tasty but it was very small choice.

For such a high price, not having power, that too just for fan/light (not AC) during the whole night is not correct. Payment by credit card should be there since not a budget hotel. Swimming pool is decent though in the middle of no where. Restaurant is good and reasonably priced considering the remote location

Staff were lovely. Note this is very much in the jungle but the staff did a great job and the place was clean with all the amenities you need.

Rustic accommodation without AC. Electricity is running only a few hours per day. Nice pool and near the Kirindy forest. The lack of constant electricity create issue for the conservation of the food... we got sick while there. Please make sure to have traveller's diarhea meds if you go OR stick to vegetarian options maybe.

With measured expectations and a great guide who prepared us, this little oasis was fantastic. As promised there was limited electricity and wifi, but that meant more pool time and chats with the staff and our amazing guide. Its a resource deprived country with massive logistical challenges and yet they make do amazingly. We loved our stay at Relais du Kirindy mostly because they are amazing hosts. Truly hospitable and trying to offer their best with the little they have to offer it with. The food though was hot, the drinks cold and the lodgings comfy. The great advantage of staying here was access to the Kirindy forest where we got to see the Fossa and a family of Lemurs. Like I said great guide and great suggests. (Christophe Madagascar Tour Guide - Interpreter on facebook) I have no reason to return but if I had to I would love to catch up with the staff. A side note. There are some great Baobabs close by the resort for sunset pictures. I spent one of the best afternoons of my life at this cluster with a group of children.

This hotel is in a great location for visits to the Kirindy park. The pool and restaurant were great. It is very close to the Sacred Baobab tree in the nearby village.

Spent one night here. Restaurant and reception staff were nice. Cabins looked cute but we slept poorly due to no air flow inside our hot and humid night room. Had to use the mosquito net even though we sprayed the room hours earlier. Low wattage light bulbs. Very dark inside. This place gets 2 stars because it has 4 walls and q private bathroom.

Two stay, both good when going to/from Tsingy. Limited power availability (1800 - 000 and 0600 to 0900). Water variable in temperature. No safe deposit boxes in rooms. That said, the food was excellent, the pool was inviting and the staff were helpful all the time. The room was basic and had mosquito nets and a fan (see power hours) and as the stay involves late noghts and early mornings it was fine for a night or two. Internet was via Starlink which meant it was the fastest connection we say in three weeks (100Mbit), so a great place to upload all those photos.
