"DO NOT BOOK. The pictures and description are for the Tsienimparihy LODGE and not the HOTEL (both located in Ambalavao). The hotel is a rundown place and is 10$ a night. Neither the hotel or lodge had a reservation in our name although we had a hotels.com reservation. We ended up having to book another hotel in extremis. We were told to book directly through the lodge and advise you to do the same if considering this option."
