From the moment I arrived, Beba upgraded my room which was grest as the ocean view was fabulous. The room is spotless clean. Very elegantly decorated. Staff were very helpful. The villa is gorgeous. A few meters away from the beach. The private beach made my stay fantastic and ensured privacy. The pool was just the right spot to disconnect from the world. Breakfast was delicious and portions were huge. India and Gold ( the dogs 🐕) were definitely a huge plus. I loved their presence and played with them. The entire experience was very unique, authentic and relaxing 😌 I highly recommend it 👌 as a solo traveler, this felt do safe. Thank you Beba for taking care of things and understanding.

The venue is very lovely and quaint. Feels very cozy and homely with artistic decor. Offers great privacy while still giving professional standards. The customer service was exceptional; the staff especially Simon went over and above in making our stay special and addressing our particular and exceptional requests. The chef and Saidi also did a great job accommodating one of our party who was vegan. Every interaction was met with warmth and kindness; this made us want to extend our stay. We definitely will be returning. Also liked Bear, the dog :-)

We had an amazing stay in Rischland Villas. Althought we booked very last minute, the host was super nice and accommodating and the house personnel made the house available just in time for our arrival. The villa is really a paradise and we could enjoy the swimming pool all by ourselves. The beach is at a walking distance and nearby are also many bazaars. We would love to come back here one day!

Lauren was a super host, helped me with all I needed (boda boda - local moto taxi, beach suggestions, reservations) and engaging in great conversations while preparing my breakfast. I went during the low season (june) and having the place basically for me was the best experience... there was another guest in the villa, but we met only once, so pool and facilities were all free which allowed me to really rest and enjoy my vacations.
