5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Stay! Our stay at Colibri Guesthouse was easily one of our best travel experiences. The hospitality was exceptional—special thanks to Dilshan and Bikesh, who went above and beyond for us! ​We booked the Honeymoon Suite, and it was worth every penny. The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated for our arrival, and featured a balcony with a breeze and stunning views of the turquoise water with islands in the distance. ​As a delightful surprise, the team decorated our room for my birthday and arranged a cake at dinner without us even asking! The restaurant food was fantastic in both quality and quantity, with a fresh menu every day. ​Pro Tip: The property is located uphill, so walking to outside restaurants can be a bit challenging. I highly recommend booking the breakfast and dinner package!

We had an excellent 5-night stay at Colibri. We loved the hotel's location and the hotel itself, as well as our room (double room with ocean view). The hotel staff was incredibly attentive. Bikesh, the manager, was always available for his guests, and the breakfast/dinner team was very professional. We highly recommend this hotel!

We chose Colibri Guest House for a couple of days during our honeymoon. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We even had the wonderful surprise of receiving a room upgrade, which made our stay even more special. The view was stunning, the food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. We were very happy with our stay. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always welcoming us with a smile. Their hospitality really made a difference, and we would definitely recommend Colibri Guest House to anyone visiting Praslin. If we return to Praslin in the future, we would absolutely choose Colibri again. One practical note for future guests: the accommodation is advertised as being five minutes away from the jetty. This is technically true, but it is not the main ferry terminal used for the Praslin–Mahé/La Digue ferries. The main ferry terminal is around 30 minutes away on foot, and the walking route is not suitable for travelling with luggage. From our point of view, public transport is also not the most convenient option. We would therefore recommend either renting a car or taking a taxi, especially when arriving or leaving with luggage. For the best prices, we also recommend booking directly through their website. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily come back!

Beautiful, spacious rooms with balconies and a bayfront location. These are situated in small, separate units, ensuring privacy. The pool, while not very large, is perfectly adequate for relaxing at the end of the day. The restaurant is excellent and refined, offering a two-course menu (a guarantee of freshness), but you must check in before 2:00 PM for dinner. A generous breakfast is more than sufficient to meet expectations. Perhaps the only drawback was the lack of family rooms, or the limited number available, which required us to book two separate rooms. Aside from that, we were very happy with our stay.

A marvel, extraordinary view from the room and especially from the restaurant. Easy access on foot from the ferry, about 25 minutes with a backpack.

Comfort, charm, and a warm welcome! For our first visit to the Seychelles, we made our first stop at the Colibri Guesthouse in Praslin. The property is very well located, our room was spacious with very comfortable bedding and a breathtaking view! We also enjoyed the restaurant – a big thank you to the chef who offers varied and delicious menus. Finally, the hotel staff are extremely kind. We highly recommend this establishment.

One of the best stay in Seychelles. Colibri guesthouse is located in Praslin. Such a beautiful property with so much greenery and beautiful flowers. When you check in they give you refreshing welcome drinks. The sea view from room was so magical. Such a quiet and peaceful place it is. Most importantly I enjoyed their food as well. Breakfast was so good and even the lunch and dinner was perfect. If I ever visit Praslin again I will definitely stay at Colibri Guesthouse. Many thanks to Bikesh also for his support, guidance and an amazing hospitality. Thanks you guys for making our stay so memorable.

The Colibri Hotel is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Its location is outstanding. The hotel is set right on the ocean, surrounded by huge coconut and banana trees and beautiful tropical flowers. The view of the ocean from the terrace is simply breathtaking. This truly feels like paradise on earth. Although it is officially a 3-star hotel, it is better than many higher-rated hotels we have visited. The bathroom amenities were more generous than those in the previous 4-star hotel we stayed at, and for once there was a proper, powerful hairdryer instead of the weak ones you so often find in hotels. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always smiling. The restaurant is exceptional. The chef is outstanding and prepared truly unique and delicious dishes as part of the recommended dinner menu. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and plentiful choices. If you are visiting Praslin Island, don't miss the Colibri Hotel! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

An exceptional room (Coco) in the heart of a magnificent garden. The restaurant is excellent, with outstanding service and extremely kind staff. This is the place to be on Praslin.

Best guesthouse on Praslin! Beautiful guesthouse with stunning view over the sea, situated in a lovely tropical garden. This was our third stay there, we can highly recommend it. I also recommend taking half-board, as the food at the restaurant is delicious. Thanks again to the lovely staff!

A charming stay in a beautiful setting. The rooms are simple but comfortable, while the exterior spaces truly stand out. The gardens and pool area are absolutely stunning and create a relaxing, inviting atmosphere. The hotel would benefit from adding more umbrellas around the pool for additional shade. The staff were wonderful—warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the stay. Breakfast was a bit limited, and while dinners were generous, they tended to be on the heavier side. That said, the overall experience was still enjoyable. The location is excellent and makes it easy to explore the surrounding area. One important note: the hotel is situated on a hill and involves a number of stairs, so it may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations. Overall, this is a lovely hotel that offers great value for the price, and I would recommend it for travelers looking for a scenic and well-located stay.

Amazing gem beautiful resort, peaceful (except for Saturday night when a catamaran was playing loud music in the bay, but this was not the fault of the resort), location is 5 stars, breakfast had avocados and fruit from their trees! Able to use the pool and shower even after checkout while waiting to catch our ferry early afternoon

An unforgettable experience from start to finish Our stay at Colibri Guesthouse has been a great and memorable experience from the very first moment to departure. Already in the planning phase we experienced impressive flexibility, and throughout our stay we have felt both welcome and in safe hands. The hotel appears very well maintained, with an atmosphere that exudes care and quality. The staff deserves special praise – everyone is extremely service-minded, present and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that guests have the best possible stay. You can clearly feel that they are passionate about the place and their guests. The gastronomic experience has been very satisfying. Without a doubt the best food we have had in the Seychelles. The dishes are simple, tasty and prepared with clear passion and respect for the ingredients – a true pleasure every time. All in all, we can only give Colibri Guesthouse our warmest recommendations. A place where service, quality and genuine hospitality come together in a higher unity. We would love to return.

The best Hotel Colibri is truly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The food is excellent, the beach is beautiful, and the atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful with very few people around. The service is perfect—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The value for money is outstanding, and my room was spacious, comfortable, and well equipped with everything I needed. I absolutely loved my stay, and I definitely want to come back. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to all the staff for a fantastic stay! We look forward to coming back here again!!
