Really nice place with a lot of cajunfeeling in it, the jamsession in the bar was amazing
5.0 / 10.0
Staff was polite, friendly and helpful when around. Was given two free drinks at the bar, which I appreciated. Also have live music on site.
Complicate and unnecessary cumbersome new self check-in system; I was able to check in only thanks to the help of another guest as my phone would not upload my passport picture, which meant trusting a complete stranger with my passport information. Also, there was music until 3am, then someone started playing again at 7.30am. Great party atmosphere and friendly people, but if you are looking for a decent night of sleep look elsewhere. If you want coffee in the morning need to bring your own. I'd say overpriced given the above, but they offer 10% discount to returning guests.

We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Moon Guest House. The house itself has a lot of character and its kept very clean. Our room had everything we needed! The highlight was being able to go downstairs and next door to the saloon to see the Wednesday Cajun jam. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Just heaven - a deeply charming spot in the middle of Lafayette, that felt like traveling back in time. Live music, free food, wonderful vibes, and a lovely/very functional house to stay in. Self check-in and out was seamless.
Everything was great
8.0 / 10.0
The place is well kept and is definitely worth a stay if you happen to be around. The saloon is an ideal hotspot to dive into the Cajun music.
The airconditioning of the room would need an upgrade.

Good location
Horrible experience, we decided to leave early after our first night even though there was no refund for our next nights.
1/The room was particularly noisy as walls were thin and people were discussing in the shared kitchen until 1.30am.
2/ We could not sleep because of the very loud air conditioning which was very close to the bed, so we had to decide whether we wanted to sleep without noise and burn of heat or have a correct temperature but be impossible to sleep because of the terrible noise.
3/ The mattress was the softest mattress I have ever seen (not in the good way). It was just a piece of foam. So it was impossible to sleep and to move in the bed (and God knows we are not very demanding as we have traveled all over the world).
Also, it was never specified that there was no bathroom in the room… it was a shared one.
Also, we have been afraid of potential bedbugs as we have spotted numerous small dots on the so called mattress.
We do not recommend at all. We contacted the landlords through booking app (as it is self check in, nobody is there). They never replied to our problems...

it was so unique and convenient to the locations we spend our time at for New Year’s. The inside reminded me of a house I lived in college and the bar attached was so cool!

Comfy beds including the futon
We were three people in the birds nest room which was a double bed, a futon, and a separate but private bathroom. The private bathroom had a bath but not a shower (not ok but we were able to use the shared showers and luckily it wasn't busy so that wasn't a problem). The hallway was actually a dorm with just a curtain for the wall of the dorm which meant the hallway light was the dorm light so we couldn't have the light on in the hallway at night, this wouldn't normally be a problem but the lock for our private bathroom was difficult even in the light and the dark made it harder. None of the windows were fully covered, not a massive deal for privacy but the light came in. No problems with noise from the bar (even with a band playing) but outside noise was really bad eg train horn in the middle of the night. Checking in was a bit difficult, we had to get the bartender to call someone to help us, and then we didn't get told important information such as there were beds behind the curtain in the hall. We were also only given one key between the three of us, we were able to pay a $10 deposit for one more but they didn't have a third and we gave back the second key early so we didn't have to track someone down to check out and get our $10 back in the morning.
