The bungalows are spacious and have wonderful views across the valley. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is a pleasant 15 minute walk to the village, well worth it for the views and peaceful ambience.
It is a great discovery. The place is incredible and blend perfectly with the nature all around. The staff is kind and helpfull.
We definitly recommand it

Very friendly staf. The bungalows have a very Nice view! Only the beds are not good. We first had a very hard mattress, we got a new one. It was very sunk.. good mattresses would have made the stay a lot better

Beautiful place, the owner is very hospitable and the staff very kind. They made our stay fantastic.
We stayed in the juior suite, that had a great view with a nice terrace and a small river next to it.
The food was fantastic and no inconveniences afterwards :)
The room could use some small renovations, but all the rest made up for that.
We loved the surroundings of this hotel and the view. Straight into the forest. The restaurant food was very good, though a slight mix up with breakfast which wasn’t served when we asked and delayed us quite a bit for our tour.

10 bungalows in the middle of breathtaking nature. Everything works as it should, but some repairs are necessary. The staff is very kind and warmhearted, the food selection is rather small but very tasty.
We really enjoyed our stay and the visit of the Ranomafana National Park, the thermal baths, and the village itself.

Ranomafana honeymoon trip
Wonderful location, great views and excellent service. Big breakfast with fruit, pancakes, bread & jam and omelette.
Bathroom needed some maintenance (no shower fixing and shower tray leaked). Tap water does come out brown sometimes.
Lots of wildlife visible in the grounds too. Overall we were glad we stayed here for 3 nights.
The staff met us with pineapple juice and carried our luggage to our bungalow. The view from our room was incredible!!! Some may find the WiFi slow but you shouldn’t worry about that, the view makes up for it!!!

We stayed two nights in two rooms while visiting the National park. The rooms look out onto the forest and have balconies where you can relax and enjoy the view. It is a short drive to the village and the National Park. The staff were attentive and helpful and the food was good - especially breakfast. Sadly the damage caused by cyclones over the last two years mean some rooms are still being repaired and the pool is out of order. I was upgraded to a junior suite which was very comfortable.

I got the dates wrong - I wanted 5th of July next year but put in 5th July yesterday and didn't realise my mistake - we're still in Australia!
Very old bungalow, badly maintained. Lovely surroundings and view. It hasn't the swimming pool advertised on the internet. Nice staff. We didn't eat, just had breakfast, and it was correct. They charge more taxes (4000A/night) than the tourist one (1000 A/night) indicated in the reservation.
The smell of mold, the rotted deck boards, the breakfast (American) was 45,000 Ar vs other (better) hotels at 18,000 Ar. So very disappointed, we woke up early in order to leave immediately.
You do it for the nature and the kind people in the accommodation. We had a great view in hut 9. You have to do some climbing down (stairs) to get there, but that is worth it. The accommodation itself is really bed. The cushion were not cleaned at all, the mattress was completely worn down. So don’t do it for the comfort. The food we had here was better than in hotel thermal.

Au Domnatur fair review
Amazing location right in the heart of the national park so a really good spot to be based from.
The high level bungalows are a steep 5-7 minute walk from reception. Advantages - great views across the rainforest canopies / Disadvantages - not at all suitable for those with accessibility needs and quite basic furnishings but to be honest we only used them to sleep in.
Included breakfast was very good and wholesome.
We only ate there one night for dinner and whilst convenient if you’re tired, there are better places in the village 5 minutes ride away.
Don't believe the pictures, the swimmingpool doesn't exist! After a visit to the national park (which was extremely valuable!!) this was a dissapointment. Dinner as well as breakfast is poor.
On the other hand: beautiful environment, breathtaking views, clean rooms.
