Vacation rentals in Comoros

Fatuma has helped us and advised us since we arrived when Kenya Airways didn't bring our luggage. They learned a lot from her about life on the islands. She helped us get a local SIM, finding a car rental, and organizing our trip and staying in her house. She showed us a nice and original dress that she designs and sells in her boutique in Moroni. She was interested in our destiny even after we'd been in a different place for many days. So far, I've been with Airbnb with such a welcoming and warm host, even though I was happy with other stays. We stayed in spacious rooms with ample space for our own belongings. The beds were comfortable. In the equipped kitchen, we could prepare tuna bought from fishermen. The dining room is part of the garden, under the roof and outdoors at the same time. In bad weather, it could be used as a dining room and kitchen. The nearest beach is covered with trash, but just a little further away, bathing in the sea is good. Basic groceries are available near the house.

The room looked similar to the pictures, even though I got another room. The room change was due to the effects of a cyclon that was just before my arrival. There was no warm water, with the water not very cold due to the temperatures. Breakfast and dinner were so good and especially the chicken was delicious even though the portions could have been larger. Breakfast cost 5€ and dinner 7/8€. Feyzlat's sister and the other staff were very helpful and helped you very well. Although none of the staff was able to speak English (which is relatively bad in the Comoros), communication through translation apps worked well. The property is located along the main road (which you haven't heard of) between the airport and Moroni, so you can get everywhere by shared taxi from there. Also, the sea view was priceless while eating.

The hotel is welcoming and responsive to messages. The accommodation is spacious, with water and electricity (obviously when the network is active). The accommodation is secure. Near the beach and 30 min max from Trou du Prophete on foot. Restaurants are located right next door.

To make my arrival easier, Naima sent someone to pick me up from the airport (about 30 minutes by car). She makes excellent juices with the fruits of her garden, which she shares with her hosts. The accommodation is close to Itsandra beach. Easy access by taxi to the center of Moroni.

Farida & Serge's place (aka Farida Lodge) has been a nice haven for my short stay in Moroni. I got the sea view directly in front of my room's balcony which is very spacious. The bed was comfortable enough. As mentioned already, there are two dogs that might make you a bit nervous but Farida made sure that I felt safe by asking her people to accompany me until I started feeling comfortable and the dogs got also used to me. The place is in front of the road which makes it easy to pick up taxis to go around. I also tried to walk around but wasn't sure what I was looking for but I can say I felt relatively safe. The shared spaces like the kitchen are clean and organized. Wifi is strong, to those who intend to work from Farida's place. Unfortunately, on my last night, the grill restaurant next door hosted a party (or so it seems) which sounded so fun except that I wasn't invited and couldn't sleep because of the music. Other than that, things went pretty well (Google helped with French!).

It was a very recharging and peaceful week during which I felt very welcome, slept well and had all that I needed. Great tips and ideas about where to eat, what to see, how to get around. Many thanks and I highly recommend visitors to Moroni to stay here. I would love to visit again.

We stayed in two different places; the second (a bungalow located on the grounds where the owners live) is much more comfortable than the first (located on Moya)... That said, in both cases, very pleasant haven of peace!... The beach adjoining the first place is a real little wonder!... Exceptional welcome!... Are ready to go back tomorrow!...
