Ulasan Au Domnatur

The location is super - in the center of the rainforest. Rooms are simple but in good condition, with hot water. Meals in the restaurant are good and tasty. The stuff helped us to organise tour in the park. Good price/quality ratio

Nice hotel with bungalows, close to Ranomafana National Park. Friendly and helpful staff (especially Jerry!). Bungalows have a view to NP with diretion to Ranomafana village (swimming pool, spa activities, restaurants, silk manufacture, market..). WiFi connection in main hall/restaurant only!

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make your stay more pleasurable. The views are something out of paradise. That’s why I now call this my happy place. The food is fresh and delicious.

The views are awesome and the big glassdoors and balcony help with enjoying the scenery. The garden is very nice. Yet, in our first bungalow the toilet had problems, the lights flickered, the mattress was lumpy and the fridge didn't work. So, we changed to another bungalow. The fridge again didn't work, but the rest was ok. Parking was kind of insecure just next to the busy road. Dinner and breakfast were ok. Plus points for the service to bring tea to the room and organise a guide.

10 bungalows in the middle of breathtaking nature. Everything works as it should, but some repairs are necessary. The staff is very kind and warmhearted, the food selection is rather small but very tasty. We really enjoyed our stay and the visit of the Ranomafana National Park, the thermal baths, and the village itself.

Beautiful location, impeccable service, good food, reasonable prices. Stayed 2 nights during a cycling trip. I was quite tired and this was exactly what i needed to recharge . Bungalow was very comfortable, b next to a stream. Shower was very good. Owner very helpful. Good set menu in the restaurant.

We stayed two nights in two rooms while visiting the National park. The rooms look out onto the forest and have balconies where you can relax and enjoy the view. It is a short drive to the village and the National Park. The staff were attentive and helpful and the food was good - especially breakfast. Sadly the damage caused by cyclones over the last two years mean some rooms are still being repaired and the pool is out of order. I was upgraded to a junior suite which was very comfortable.

The smell of mold, the rotted deck boards, the breakfast (American) was 45,000 Ar vs other (better) hotels at 18,000 Ar. So very disappointed, we woke up early in order to leave immediately.

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic 7-day stay at Au Domnatur in January. We stayed in 2 magnificent, roomy, and comfortable bungalows surrounded by the rainforests of Ranomafana. Jerome, the gentleman in charge while we stayed, was an excellent host: kind, considerate, friendly, and helpful. We really enjoyed his company and the walks he took with us into the village where he introduced us to his friends and taught us some useful Malagasy slang. At one point, when my cousins had to get to Fianarantsoa early in the morning and the taxi brusse they had booked broke down , Jerome ran all the way into the village at top speed at 5 am to find them an alternate lift. He always went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, arranging lifts to the national park, coordinating with local guides, and making local phone calls for us. Jerome is a true gem. And the hotel itself... amazing! We were half-joking that we saw more animals in and around the grounds of Au Domnatur than in the national park! One morning a gorgeous boa was lounging right outside our bungalow; tree frogs and bright-eyed frogs were in abundance; neon-green day geckos scampered over the patios; one night the guard found a giant tenrec a few feet from the bungalow and rushed to tell and show us!; stupendously large mantids grace the shutters and banisters at night trying to catch flying insects; and magnificent caterpillars munch the prolific vegetation. The walk from Au Domnatur to the village is about 20 minutes long, and at night walking that stretch of road my daughter and I spotted many chameleons, tree frogs, water snakes, and fat-tailed dwarf lemurs. Au Domnatur is heaven for anyone who has come to Ranomafana to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest, spot amazing animals and plants, and enjoys waking up to an amazing view of lush green forest through the huge glass windows of a bungalow. Are there steps in the grounds leading to the bungalows as some reviewers have complained of? Yes. Steps are essential when an amazing hotel has been built on the side of a green, heavily forested mountain (they're probably just as essential when the the mountain is rocky and bare, to be fair). Are they onerous and difficult to manage? No. If my 76-year-old mother can manage them 10x + a day while also carrying her loaded rucksack and hiking gear, then most people should have very little to complain about. The steps lead down to the river, and it's fun and rewarding to wander up and down them looking for unusual insects, amphibians, and reptiles. Au Domnatur also provides excellent laundry service and packed lunches for those going on all-day hikes in the national park. Wifi is in the reception/bar area. It's about a 20-minute walk into town to the market, bars and restaurants; 25 min or so to the thermal baths; and around an hour's walk to the arboretum. In the opposite direction, it's about an hour's walk up to the national park entrance. To s

The bungalows are spacious and have wonderful views across the valley. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is a pleasant 15 minute walk to the village, well worth it for the views and peaceful ambience.

It is a great discovery. The place is incredible and blend perfectly with the nature all around. The staff is kind and helpfull. We definitly recommand it
