Ara Wakam Cabin in Guadeloupe: A Scam to Avoid!

If you're heading to Basse-Terre in Pointe-Noire, Guadeloupe, **do not** stay at Ara Wakam cabin. It looks tempting on Booking, but it’s a total **SCAM**. There aren’t two bedrooms as advertised—just a double bed in the living area and two single beds in the attic, where it’s **scorchingly hot** and the fan is **extremely noisy**. But the worst part? It’s **THE HOUSE OF MOSQUITOES**. No windows, shutters with gaps that don’t seal—nowhere to escape. The owner is dishonest, and the concierge is arrogant. We lost **800 €**.

If you're heading to Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe, specifically Pointe-Noire, **do not** go to Ara Wakam Cabane. It looks tempting on Booking, but it’s a total SCAM. There aren’t two rooms as advertised—just a double bed in the living area and two single beds in the attic, where it’s sweltering hot and the fan is incredibly noisy. But the worst part? It’s THE MOSQUITO HOUSE. No windows, shutters with gaps everywhere—nowhere to escape. The owner is dishonest, and the caretaker is arrogant. We lost 800 €. Sophie Meret

Let’s just say that booking an unusual place in Guadeloupe is always a bit of a gamble. Sorry your trip didn’t go as planned.

Good evening,

It’s true that what’s offered on Booking is a unique cabin, not a luxury hotel.🙁 Were the massages included in the price according to the listing?
