Really beutiful and friendly stuff.

I stayed on the island for a long weekend while working remotely, and was very happy with Augustin Ly. It is a small villa in a quiet part of the island, with several rooms surrounding a central courtyard. There's a lovely rooftop patio where I often had breakfast and sat working, and which felt very private. The room is spacious, the bed was comfortable and has a mosquito net, and the small shower was surprisingly good. There are three fans in the room which should be fine most of the year. I worked inside the room, in the courtyard and on the rooftop patio - the wifi was stable and strong, and at times I went to the owner's restaurant near the jetty (Chez Thio), which also has good wifi (and great food). The host, Modu, was always on hand and even went to the restaurant one night to get me dinner when I wanted to keep working while eating. I don't imagine remote working is what most people go to the island for, and was delighted by how much they accommodated me. Modu is a rare host with a real talent for guest relations - which is wonderful when you travel alone. I'm grateful to him for the wonderful breakfasts, chats about the island, and for keeping my medicine in the guest house's fridge. Augustin Ly is great value for money. You can find an air-conditioned villa on the island and live in luxury if you can afford it, but if you want to meet interesting people, get to know the island and enjoy great hospitality, this is the place to stay.

Modu took very good care, carefully prepared the breakfast, showed me around and was always there for suggestions and helping without intruding or hassling. The island is very nice. Old, lots of history and beautiful houses. It is small so very walkable

The bathroom could use an upgrade. The price is a bit high

The host was very friendly and helpful. Went out of his way to ensure I had a good stay.

The room didn’t have full shower facilities

Nicht cozy place

No air condition

Location, common area patio, rooftop terrace, fact that the caretaker came and looked for us coming off the ferry, late at night.

Hard bed

The hotel more than met my expectations. The location is great, and the staff and service overall wonderful. I hope to be back one day.

The staff was very welcoming and helped us arrange our transportation to the airport. The terrasse is wonderful 😊 I definitely recommend.

Rustic , authentic , clean and comfortable. Very helpful staff . Excellent value for money.

We got off the ferry and walked across to Chez Thio, ( the owner of Maison Augustine LY also owns this bar ),where we had a welcome cold beer before being taken to our accommodation , which is a very short walk from the bar .A beautiful property , clean and spacious room with a large comfortable bed .Outside there are two seating areas , one downstairs and a lovely upstairs terrace . Breakfast is included and was served in the beautiful surroundings of the courtyard. Thank you Modu and the staff for making our stay an enjoyable experience. We had a great time on this beautiful island .

I really enjoyed the general atmosphere of the house. The room was large, with very high ceilings. The bed was comfortable and had a mosquito net. No AC, but none was needed, between the 2 fans and the marine breeze it was a very confortable sleep (3rd week of November, it's bit cooler). Nice patio and balcony. It was easy to find from the jetty. Modou, the staff member, was really kind and recommended a knowledgeable, old- fashioned guide (French-speaking) with whom I had a great visit. I did not try the breakfast, so no comment there.

The place was even nicer than the photos! Very clean! Amazing breakfast! Best place I’ve stayed in Senegal!
