Casa Luis is a recently renovated homestay in São Tomé where guests can make the most of its rooftop pool, garden, and terrace.

Mr Luis was the perfect host. The grounds were beautiful. The place was clean and comfortable. The pool so refreshing and peaceful - perfect for cooling off each night. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Kitchen access was very convenient for preparing meals, along with a nice dining and living room area for relaxing, or socializing with other guests. Luis was always available to address any issues or answer any questions. We were able to keep our bags safely locked at the House while venturing over to Principe for 5 days, then return for another 3 days’ stay at Casa Luis. Luis made our trip to São Tomé seamless, pleasant and memorable.

Featuring a bar, Baig's Guest House offers accommodations in São Tomé. This guest house features air-conditioned accommodations with a balcony and free Wifi.

Pleasantly surprised. I booked last minute and I was not expecting anything fancy but the room was really great! A/C worked, shower with warm water and a fridge to keep bottle of water inside. The staff goes beyond everything if you can manage to communicate with them! The location for me was perfect, central and near a supermarket. The breakfast at the bar downstairs is also great! You can walk around, it is safe ! I would definitely stay there again.

Ocean View Guesthouse offers a hot tub and air-conditioned accommodations in São Tomé. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Location was wonderful. Laurindo took care of the transfers as it is impossible to use a rental car to get there, and took us, for a fee, to town for dinner one night. There was no charge for our transfer from and to the airport. Laurendino also took us to a supermarket before taking us to the Ocean View. One needs to get groceries. He also was kind to arrange two boat trips to Goat Island. We were lucky to have the whole Guesthouse including the kitchen for ourselves. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Laurendino!

    Célia is an excellent host, 👌 with attention to detail and never too invasive, making everyone feel at paradise. The nice balance between the surrounding local community it is her persistent and refined work. And it elevates our experience with the locals. Breakfast is nice and delicious, and we had dinner cooked by a local woman. It amazed us how delicious and surprising it was. The location near the sea is memorable and top-notch! The management of all facilities, cleaning, etc, is well organized. Highly recommended 👌

    The atmosphere at Omali is very enjoyable, the rooms are clean and excellent breakfast selection, lots of options. The food I had for dinner could have been better, was not my favourite and prices are quite high, locals could never afford a dinner for almost €40 when the minimum wage is €50; therefore Omali is definitely a location only for tourists or locals with money.
