Moheli Laka Lodge

We had a great experience at Moheli Laka Lodge! Hans is the owner and helped us out with our travel package. He is a pleasant, honest and helpful man to deal with. They booked and included our Royal Air flight round trip from Moroni - Moheli, which takes away the stress of dealing with it on our end. Chris was one of his deputy manager that took care of us in the island, kudos to all the team at Laka Lodge GROUNDS: Very lush and beautiful, it has that relaxing feel to it. Our favorite thing was at around 4pm when snacks are being served the lemurs will be hanging out by the trees near the parking spots. If the Lemurs are not there just asked one of the restaurant staff for help, they know how to call them. It is such a cool experience, they are so gentle whenthey take the bananas. Rooms: We had the beach bungalow, we can watch the sunset from our bed. Bathrooms are decent and clean. They provide filtered water instead of bottled water which is very ecofriendly and hand made soap ☺️ Activities: They have plenty to offer and prices are fair and affordable. The highlight for us was watching the turtle at night laying eggs and got lucky to see the babies hatching, so Amazing. We hope to be back here again. * the drive from the airport to the lodge is 1hr, one of the most beautiful one hour drive you’ll take you see the water the coastline and the very lush forest! Worth the trip to get here.

Horrible, horrible experience. I came to Comoros to celebrate my birthday and the Airbnb host I had recommended I stay in this lodge as he knows the owner, Hans. One of the worst mistakes I could make to be honest. Comoros (and especially Moheli) is absolutely gorgeous but my experience was ruined by Hans acting extremely rude, disrespectful and fraudulent. As other reviewers had correctly noted, he tries to accuse the guests of not paying. Then he attempts to scam people by having them pay up front and after, tries to force guests to pay a second time as they are leaving. He really ruined my birthday and I absolutely despise his poor, low level behavior. After he said paying by wire would be fine, he said I must immediately pay with cash and the activities I had planned like nighttime scuba diving, were canceled. He tried to bully me (again as other reviewers noted, check the reviews) and say l won't be able to leave the country and all this other nonsense. Only when I told him I was an attorney who will report his behavior to the local government/ tourism, did he back off and try to be nice. When the driver dropped me off to take my boat back to Moroni, Hans was on the line with him saying I must pay AFTER I already gave the cash. Only after I started raising my voice and told him I wasn't paying two times, did he shut his mouth. Other than the absolutely atrocious management, the lodge is truly subpar. The rooms were not clean and the food was underwhelming but it was the only place you could eat for miles. There was an incident with one of the property dogs where I was walking by and the dog started barking/growling and lunged at me. I fell into the bushes trying to back away from the dog. The only redeeming quality was Churchill who was extremely professional and tried his best to make my stay and birthday enjoyable even after Hans' treacherous behavior. Avoid avoid AVOID.

Wow, what an incredible place. Set around a stunning white sand beach, with a cosy covered dining terrace serving fresh local fish, veg and fruit and the most amazing trip opportunities. In one single day I snorkelled with a Hump Back Whale and it's baby, swam with a giant Manta Ray and watched turtles nesting and hatching. Before the trip, contact by email was superb with great communication and everything was able to be arranged for me. I'd you are visiting Comoros, plan to spend most of your time here.
