Great communication with the team before arrival. Jane offered to set me up with tours etc. upon arrival, even trying to connect travellers to share excursions. The room was comfortable and had a good size. Air-con worked without a hitch, but insulation/ventilation was quite good, so I actually didn't need it much. The pool is a bonus, but the beach opposite is actually is nice for a city beach. It's a little far from shops/supermarkets, but close to the nicer restaurants in town. Unlike other places in São Tomé, I felt the staff genuinely enjoys working at Emoyeni Gardens and was always friendly and courteous.

The location is exceptional, everything is in the walking distance from the hotel. The only thing which may more far is a beach where you can swim, but it is no problem with all transport facilities. The personnel is welcoming and always ready to help.

They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.

Sao Tome is a fantastic destination.
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations.
Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree.
The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights.
The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables.
In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central,
You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese.
No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)

It´s a Paradise!!!
It´s a Paradise!!!
You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes.
You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name.
Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!

Language barrier is too problematic.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand.
Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble.
Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal!
Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view!
Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched.
There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce.
The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going.
The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
The owner, Nilda, is a genuinely nice and friendly lady who is very helpful. She coordinated with a money changer for our Euros to Dobras at a better exchange rate than anyone else. Our room was simple but clean and comfortable. The shared bathroom was also very clean. Free street parking and strong Wifi are two pluses. We used this casa as our base to explore São Tomé and it was perfect. Lots of great restaurants in town and easy to explore the north, central and southern sections of the island from here.
The host was a great help. We got picked up from the airport and we’re able to exchange Euros for dobras as well as buy a SIM card at a very good price. He took us to an amazing restaurant where we went back as it was the best food in Sao Tome city. Breakfast is delicious and filling. The bed is comfortable and bathroom has everything you need. Host also helped us organise collectivo to Porto Alegre for the next morning which we really appreciate as we didn’t have a car.
I truly loved my stay at the hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful, despite the fact that I could not speak Portuguese. The owner has really thought through every detail of a tourist's need, especially when it is your first time, and was always available if I needed help with translation or a ride somewhere. The location is also convenient, close to the city center, a couple of restaurants, and the airport. It was definitely one of my highlights during my stay.
Loved my time here! A beautiful family owned and ran hotel with friendly and helpful staff making for a wonderful stay. Clean and comfortable rooms with a great breakfast in the garden courtyard.
The hotel is just minutes walk from a great selection of local restaurants and bars, and the beach is straight across the street!
I stayed in a number of hotels across the island in my two weeks there and this was my best experience - highly recommended.
The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is also located only a short 5 minute walk to various restaurants and places of interest in Sao Tome. The owner was very responsive and even helped arrange to puck me up at airport. This is truly a guest house with only two rooms and no reception/hotel desk; however, owner is available by phone and has made arrangements/partnered with connected businesses to help. Highly Recommend!
The owner Celia is super nice and helpful, and cooks delicious food. Very good breakfast with fresh juices, fruits, coffee, bread, omelet, etc. The self-made Marmalade is so yummy, I personally love the passion fruit one ( I normally do not eat any Marmalade).
If you would like to experience the real Sao tome local life with a beautifully decorated room facing the sea, here is exactly your place to stay.
Air con in the room was a great relief after walking around in the hot and humid capitol.
Aswell was a dip in the good sized swimmingpool even if it has seen better days.
Nice community area and a little garden to hang out in was also a plus.
Friendly staff.
Good wifi.
Accommadation is overall expensive in Sao Tome' but this place was the best value of money in our holiday.
We would stay again!
This hotel is at a great location which is right across from the beach and walking distance from town. The owner and staff were very welcoming to us. On our last day it had rained heavily the previous night which caused floods so we were unable to go tour the southern part of São Tomé. The owner let us stay in our room for free until late evening to catch our flight!
Amazing location and flexible management. Also, the 'caretaker' family next door is superbly helpful. If I go back to Sao Tome, this is where I'd stay, for sure. Highly recommended.
I loved the stay. New building. Quiet A/C. Quiet fridge. Great, spacious bathroom. Hot water, internet, everything was amazing by Sao Tome standards.
Very central hotel with a restaurant on site. Included breakfast was standard and ok. Generator started in seconds after every power cut and they happened frequently. Fridge in the room is a big bonus. AC worked excellent. Intermar supermarket is on next block. Plenty of money changers outside.
The airport pick up and drop offs were a nice touch. We did two separate stays due to our trip to Principe. The second room in the villa that we spent 4 nights in was much better than the first stay.
This hotel seems to be where the diplomats and politicians stay when in town on business.
What a nice stsy, the lady of the house is amazing,, on top of things and helping out at all times
Small but delicious breakfast, freh local fruits
Free shower at 5 pm on last day and a big hug.
I spend 200 days a year in hotels, but this is an overall experience to remember 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The hotel is on a quiet side street so not much noise. Most places in Sao Tome were in walkable distance but you can easily get a taxi or moto from the hotel. I liked the design of the room and it had good AC. The staff were very helpful even when there was a language barrier.
The staff is fantastic, the place super clean and modern facilities. Totally recommended for when staying in Sao Tome city. You will
Meet other travelers here. Rooms are spacious. There is even a kitchen. Sad to leave. Payment options are great to - Revolut is winner!
This was one of my favourite places in Sao Tome! The bungalow was so nice and the whole property is very beautiful. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was super good. I really recommend this place and will return when I come back to this island
My room was exactly as expected. Wifi reception in the room was very good.
The hotel has a restaurant which I think served tasty food. Breakfast was simple but good.
Carla and her husband are very nice and they make you feel welcomed and at home.
Great accommodation at a relatively low cost compared with other resorts in São Tomé.
Room was comfortable, A/C silent, nice balcony.
Staff was helpful trying to sort out requests for tours.
Great and large swimming pool
The location was really good, allowing quick access, walking, to the city center.
The food served in the hotel, the room view to the ocean, the surrounding gardens and landscape were all top.
Good location, amicable staff, nice garden, aircon and no mosquitos in room! I also liked that unlike for often in Africa, the hotel was freely accessible from the street.
