La Diguoise Guesthouse — Hotel in La Digue

I'm not a psychologist but I'm sure that lady Elodie (the owner) have a mental health problem.||I'm a travel agent and a team leader from 12 years and for the first time something like this happened to me. During one of the very first days she and her friends were sitting in the garden area where was the only place where guests could seat. I was told by someone from our group that she tried to seat on one of the sofas but was told from someone from the group that she cannot seat there because they had a meeting. Then I went and let her and everyone know that our group would like to sit together and enjoy as we just arrived, Elodie sent us to the pool where there were only 3 chairs and 2 sunbeds and our group was 14 adults. Everyone spent 2.5 hours in our room before dinner as there was nowhere to sit outside. When we sat down for dinner she denied serving the dinner because not everyone was sat at the table. We tried politely explaining to her that it's OK for us to start the dinner as someone from the group wasn't feeling well so were not sure if all 14 were coming, we were 12 at the table. Then I went to the kitchen to talk to her and she started histerically shouting at me that "this is my (..bad word..) property and i could do whatever i wants" we were only renting the rooms for 10 nights but were not the owners'. This is only a little part of the story. The place is beautiful, with a nice garden, the staff is friendly, food is good as well but you can never have a calm stay knowing there is someone mentally...

La Diguoise is beautifully surrounded by nature and the reception and lobby/restaurant are typical and pleasant. We were warmly welcomed and the location is great. However, it is difficult to get transport at the harbour if you haven't booked it in advance. The contact we received from the guesthouse did not respond. The food at the guesthouse is very tasty and typically seychelloise and there are bicycles available but of course NOT free of charge. It is best to have euros with you to pay, otherwise, as everywhere else, an untraceable charge is simply added on and you have no control. We stayed 4 nights and when we came back in the dark on the 3rd day, our room had been cleared out and the wardrobe had even been removed. All our unpacked belongings were simply moved to the room opposite without us being informed. With the explanation that they would have had to start the reorganisation today. We would have left the next day anyway and the room we were moved to was just as in need of renovation as ours. They could have asked us if we could move, if it was so urgent. But simply touching all our things is a NO-GO and absolutely unacceptable. And Elodie, who claimed to have done everything herself, didn't understand what the problem was. It's normal for her and she didn't mean any offence. But there was zero insight. It ruined the whole stay at La Diguoise and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone....

I recently stayed at La Diguoise Guesthouse and was disappointed with several aspects of my visit. Firstly, the furniture is reminiscent of the 80s, giving the rooms an outdated feel. Breakfast was minimal, offering just a few slices of fruit and the option of boiled or fried eggs, which was underwhelming. Another significant issue was the AC; it was extremely noisy, making it difficult to have a peaceful night's sleep. The guesthouse's location also posed a challenge; it is situated 500m from the main road at the end of a non-paved, unlit street, making it inconvenient and somewhat unsafe to access, especially after sunset. However, the most unsettling part of our stay was the interaction with the landlady. Hospitality seemed to be a foreign concept to her; she was rude, never smiled, and in one instance, shouted at a member of our group, asserting, "This is my f* place and you'll do what I say." This level of hostility and disrespect was shocking and entirely unacceptable. Overall, my experience at La Diguoise Guesthouse was far from pleasant, marred by outdated facilities, minimal amenities, noise issues, inconvenient location, and, most importantly, poor management and...
