Family hotels and homes in Lénakel

I would like to give a completely full 10 points. Marsha is so nice and kind and outstandingly helpful. Without her prompt answer and exact suggestion and detailed information to every question I raised, I wouldn’t have made this volcano tour realized. Thank you Matha, and your team! Let the earthquake go by and everything turn good! The volcano eruption was so magnificent, such an unforgettable experience! Again many thanks!

The location is amazing! You hear the Volcano and can see the glow at night! We had the opportunity to sleep in the bungalow with a direct view to the Volcano from the bed, the tree house was also amazing with a nice breeze at night PLUS there is a toilet at the top! Really cool and handy at night. From the village we could see the river and dense forest, Mike, family is really welcoming and they will always ensure you are happy and enjoy your stay. Sam was driving us up and down to town and the Volcano, he is a very skilled driver!! Lena and her daughters cooked dinner and ensured we felt comfortable at all times. I will definitely recommend Castle tree house to anyone that wants to experience the village life. We stayed for three nights and highly enjoyed it. TIP: We were not sure if we could get to the Volcano entrance by foot. But you definitely can, it takes about 1h.15min (15 min drive)

Joel and his famile are the best hosts! So friendly, warm and welcoming. They can help you arrange airport transfer, visit to the mountain, cultural village, cannibals, etc. All at great prices. They can cook lunch and dinner for a small fee and provide free water all you can drink. The treehouse is amazing with the best view. Location is great and very close to the visitorcenter and the ash plane (15 min. Walk). You can even see the volcano from the balcony and hear it’s roar. We were their very first guests and really enjoyed our 2 night stay. They are working hard to improve everyday but the basics are in place. However, there is no electricity so bring a full powerbank and a headlamp.

excellent location, rooms clean, nice meals, great staff, highly recommended.

We had such a great time! We went on so many lovely tours, met great people and really enjoyed the local food. Highly recommended.

I couldn’t wait to write this review as soon as I returned to Sydney. Robort and his family were incredibly friendly and helpful. They assisted me in arranging all my trips, including how to get to the treehouse, transportation to the airport, booking flight tickets, visiting the volcano, and even took me to the celebration. When I didn’t have enough cash to buy a ticket, Robort kindly helped me cover 600 Vatu—I’m truly grateful for that. His daughters were also adorable and guided me through the local tribal culture. They were all very patient. The condition of the treehouse was better than I expected. While it’s inevitable to see some small bugs, I didn’t encounter any rats. The treehouse is located right opposite the entrance to the volcano, just a two-minute walk to the ticket office—very convenient.
