We had room number 3 and it was fantastic: everything was spotlessly clean and very well furnished. The sea view is priceless; we even saw sea turtles from the terrace! The food in the restaurant was superb every evening, and the staff were so friendly. All in all, a perfect holiday there! Thank you!!

A beautiful place that will stay with us for a long time! ❤️ Colibri Hotel has a unique, truly Seychellois atmosphere. The abundance of greenery, flowers, and beautiful decorations make you feel like you're in paradise. We spent our honeymoon here and were delighted with how well-cared for we were. Wonderful surprises awaited us, including a romantically decorated room and a bed filled with flowers. Such gestures truly stay with us! The food was delicious—we were enchanted by the chef's talent! The entire staff deserves a huge thank you for their warmth, smiles, and exceptional hospitality. This place has something truly special. Thank you for the wonderful memories of our honeymoon. We wholeheartedly recommend it! 🤍🌴

A wonderful place, the service is fantastic, with thoughtful touches for our honeymoon and my birthday. The room is quiet. The breakfast is superb and the ocean view is magnificent. The pool is accessible and there's plenty of space. We highly recommend it.

We spent three days at the hotel and we weren't disappointed! The hotel perfectly met our expectations and the staff were fantastic, no complaints whatsoever. Always smiling and helpful. The view from the pool is spectacular, and the breakfast and meals were excellent – kudos to the chef! We felt really comfortable. The only slight drawback was the water in the rooms; we only received one bottle upon arrival and then had to buy more at the bar. But that's the only minor inconvenience; otherwise, the hotel is wonderful, thank you!

An incredibly beautiful hotel. The service is superb, and the staff is very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is expensive, but worth it at least once during your stay. There's a car rental agency right at the hotel, and the prices are reasonable. The hotel breakfast is very good.

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!

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.

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!

Fantastic accommodation by the sea A fantastic accommodation on Praslin. We stayed here for 4 nights with half board. Both breakfasts and dinners during our stay were delicious and the staff were very friendly and always with a smile. The room size was good with a fantastic view of the sea. Many thanks to all the staff for a fantastic stay! We look forward to coming back here again!!

ABOUT OUR LEGACY

how it began

A UNIQUE

love story

The stories of Bernadette and Rene, Beverly and Peter, Luke, Matthew and Shiraz, Philip, Louange and Terry are a part of the beauty of this little getaway.

OUR PASSION

This is our heritage, our passion and our love story – for each other, for the place our family built and for the island and ocean that allows us to live our dream, that we love to share with you.

OUR BEGINNING

Back in the times there was no running water, no electricity or gas, We learned to live and enjoy a simple life. Our family lived from what land and ocean had to offer.

OUR LEGACY

“The Yellow House” where our family lived since 1965, was built in 1936 and had a grocery shop on the ground floor that belonged to the “Moosa brothers”.
