Booking tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 months in advance for July-October (whale watching and dry season peak) when resort hotels fill quickly and domestic flights are limited
Most small guesthouses and pensions do not appear on Booking.com — contact directly via phone or email, or ask at the Moroni tourist office for recommendations
Eco-lodges on Mohéli (especially Laka Lodge) book out months in advance for whale season — plan early if this is your priority
Many hotels offer significant discounts for stays of 5+ nights — always ask about weekly rates
Check whether hotel rates include breakfast — for budget guesthouses meals are often extra; for resorts breakfast is frequently included
