Lucy's Guesthouse

房屋面積不大，但乾淨衞生，管理有序。房東姐姐友好熱情。有機會會考慮再住。位置在碼頭和德阿讓海灘之間，步行和騎行均可。

The guesthouse is about a 16-minute walk from the jetty, which is manageable but worth noting if you're arriving with luggage. Unfortunately, our stay here was disappointing for several reasons. There is loud construction (sawing, hammering, etc.) going on right next door, starting around 7:00 AM — not exactly ideal for a relaxing island getaway. Upon arrival, the owner rushed through our welcome, saying he had to "catch a boat," though he still made time to collect the cash payment for our stay. Strangely, despite needing to catch a boat (which, on La Digue, usually means a considerable trip), he was back within two hours. Even though he knew exactly when we were arriving, the A/C in our room was off, leaving it uncomfortably hot. The minifridge wasn’t working either — he claimed the previous guest must have turned it off — but offered that we could use the shared kitchen and keep our food in the communal fridge. Unfortunately, this led to an even worse experience. While cooking dinner on our first night (which is often necessary on La Digue, especially on a Monday when many restaurants are closed), the gas ran out mid-meal. I texted him to let him know, expecting some help. Instead, he told me to just put my half-cooked food in the fridge. When I explained I was actively cooking and asked if he could do anything, he disappeared for about 30 minutes. I assumed he was trying to fix the issue, but when he returned, he told me he'd contacted my booking company and was informed that kitchen access wasn’t technically included in my reservation — completely ignoring the immediate problem and showing zero empathy for our situation. There was no apology, no effort to help, and certainly no sense of hospitality. His response was indifferent and dismissive, which felt particularly harsh given the challenges of finding food options on the island at that hour. Ultimately, I canceled our second night. Between the construction noise, poor hospitality, and lack of basic care for guests, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Our short stay at La Digue was a big success because of our stay at Lucy’s guest house.The guest house and the rooms are very convenient, sparkling clean and it is strategically located in the middle of the village , a bit further up, which allows you to easily discover La Digue. What impressed us though, was the two young owners who are so willing to assist you in everything.Nothing you may ask for is too much for them.They arranged our last minute pick up, the bike rentals, they offered valuable advice on what to do during our stay and always made sure we had all we needed. A big thank you goes to them for making our stay such a great one. For sure we will be back

Very nice and cozy place, amazing nature around, very clean, really good atmosphere, and of course very nice people creating this place :) on the place possibility to rent a bike. Very clean rooms, kitchen very good equipped. Around shops and restaurants.

I had no trouble finding the guesthouse. I just followed the main road from the jetty, and when I reached the right alley, there was a sign directing me to the guesthouse. The walk took 15 minutes. While the main road is paved, the alley is dusty, beware! I had contacted the owner beforehand on WhatsApp (works well and he answers quickly!) to let him know which ferry I will be on, so he was waiting for me. He also printed me a boarding pass for my return boat, and did laundry. Laundry was 10 SCR per piece. There are four rooms in the guesthouse. My ground floor room was simple but clean and in good condition. There was a king size bed, a small desk and chair, a fridge, and a closet. In the closet, there was a safe, but it was useless as it was not attached to anything so basically anyone entering the room could just carry it away under his arm. Wifi was free, unlimited, and reliable. It was fast enough for browsing, but not ideal for videos. The A/C worked and managed to cool the room down somewhat compared to outside temperatures, but it was by no means the most efficient one out there and did not meet my expectations. There were universal sockets available as well as a UK socket by the bed. The room is not very well designed as the bathroom is huge but the room itself is a bit cramped. They could have used all that extra space that is now in the bathroom for a sitting area in the main room instead. The bathroom came with a shower that only had a wall-mounted showerhead. Water pressure was adequate as such, but a handheld shower would have been nice to wash off all the sand. There is a tap outside for this purpose, but the pressure there is terrible and thus that tap is of little use. Hot water was ample. Beware that check-out is at 10 am, which is very early, and they will not store your luggage. You can leave it at the guesthouse if you wish, but that would mean keeping it unsuperwised in the open-air lobby, free for grabs. There was also no possibility to extend the check-out until later so I had to take the 7:30 am ferry instead of the more leisurely 1:30 pm one that I had originally booked. The guesthouse enjoys a good location; there is a supermarket and many eateries within a few minutes’ walk, and you can also easily reach L’Union Estate on foot. I paid 100 EUR per night, which is quite a lot considering the level of accommodations, which are perhaps at 2.5 star standards. But price levels in the Seychelles are high and even more so on La Digue.

Do yourself a favor and book this wonderful guesthouse. Comfortable accommodation, friendly hosts and really good value for money. Excellent location! Supermarket , take away and restaurant within walking distance. Bike rental available and good wifi .
