The beach access was unreal. Highly recommend this place for the beach access, beach lounges and room size. Breakfast is small though and electricity is not guaranteed :)

A budget-friendly, no-frills place located right by the beach. The building is quite run-down, so keep your expectations low. However, the location is excellent, just steps from the water, with sunbeds available. The staff speak only limited English.

I wouldn’t recommend it

No internet for two days because they didn’t pay their bill, no response from staff, they just said what can we do… No toilet seat or cover in the toilet, no shower gel or shampoo, only hard soap when demanded. Rooms smell of humidity and fungus. Disturbance at night. Restaurant kitchen is dirty and messy and on top of that the staff asking us to invite them for beer from their own bar. Only good thing with this place is its location.

Rooms had no towels or drinking water when we arrived at this local Swahili-style accommodation. When given bathroom towels we were told to use the same towels for the beach. That night we kindly enquired if they would prepare a whole fish for us if we were to buy from the beach and we were rudely told no. Same rudeness again the next morning when I asked them to cut a fresh pineapple at breakfast. If this is their policy, no problem, but no need to speak badly. We packed our bags at midday and left (even though we had paid for two nights), however not immediately as the reception who had our key was not there. We called the manager, who apologised, but did not respond to my request to refund one night. The feeling at this hotel was very bad, and the facility desperately needs attention. We found a hotel of exceptional standard for $5 more along the beach, and saw another couple staying who did exactly the same as us

They lied for the entire staying! The accommodation's description: "garden view" but all the rooms apart the one with sea view are in total darkness. Even in the day you need the lights on to see! No windows and a constant smell of mold! The room is infested with ants. There are creatures scratching the ceiling. There was never running water and we were given a dirty old bucket to use to wash ourselves and to flush the toilet. Electricity is most of the time unavailable due to constant power cuts but they refuses to turn on the generator because it is too expensive. No hot water. We were told to keep the boiler turned off because it was too expensive. No internet, no air conditioner, no fans since they refuse to turn on the generator. No toiletries, although it states that they will be available. It is a hazard to walk in your room or in the building because there are no emergency lights when the power is off. Practically all they provide is a roof and a bed! We complained every day about every point stated and the answer was always the same: tomorrow it will be resolved. The locals and taxi drivers know the property very well and they say that it's always this way and that all guests complain about the same things. They take advantage of the tourists. While there two couples left straight away and the rest were complaining about the situation every day. I asked about having a compensation due to the continuos issues and he just laughed!

Inget fönster ut mot trädgården som utlovat. Ac’n fungerade inte alltid. Vattnet var borta periodvis. Inga möbler att sitta på i rummet. Städning fick jag be om. Fick en tvål och fick hämta toapapper själv. Trots allt ett pittoreskt litet hotell med mysfaktor när jag bott in mig.

Das Personal war sehr nett. Das Zimmer, das ich gebucht hatte, war nicht, wie versprochen, mit Gartenblick, sondern hatte nur ein dunkles Fenster zum Flur, so dass ich für 160 € zusätzlich das Zimmer mit Meerblick gebucht habe. Die Zimmer selbst sind sehr einfach ausgestattet. Es gibt meist keine Toilettenbrille und keine Abtrennung zwischen Dusche und Toilette. Die Klimaanlage im 2. Zimmer war ok, im ersten Zimmer lief sie nicht so gut.

Frukosten var bra. Men det var ingen mulighet å få god mat eller lunsj utover dagen. Kjøleskapet i baren var tomt.De hadde kun en cola flaske og når jeg kjøpte den så ble ikke kjøleskapet etterfylt.Ikke mulig å kjøpe en drink eller en øl eller noe. Airconditionen fungerte bra.Men vannet og strømmen var borte i lengre perioder og betjeningen på hotellet gjorde svært lite for å ordne problemene.Det var helt forferdelig å ikke ha vann til dusj eller til å spyle ned i toalett.Hun som jobbet på hotellet lå i en sofa hele dagen og surfet på mobilen.Renhold var svært dårlig og servicen var elendig. Beliggenheten til hotellet var veldig bra med nærhet til strand og dette hotellet kunne vært veldig bra.Men med så dårlig service i forhold til renhold og nødvendig vann så tror jeg ikke det er håp for dette hotellet uten store endringer.Hva med å lage en lunsj meny med vanlige retter som europere liker .Kanskje en god burger eller en pizza ,hvitløks brød og at man kunna få kjøpt noe å drikke i baren.Det er det første stedet i verden der man ikke kunne få kjøpt en vanlig coca cola.Det hjelper ikke med fine bilder på nettsiden når kundene er svært misfornøyd etter et besøk .

Beliggenheten var på stranda, noe som var kjempekult. Det var heller ikke lang vei til restauranter og aktiviteter å finne på. Det var mange hyggelige folk rundt og på hotellet. Vi la merke til at lakenet hadde flere flekker, samt at store deler av hotellrommet ikke var helt rent. Aircondition bråket også mye til tider .. hørtes ut som en isbitmaskin. Men alt i alt var vi fornøyde med oppholdet. Man kan si du får det du betaler for.

Extremt prisvärt

Vi hade lite svårt att hitta hotellet och var tveksamma när vi väl kom rätt. Men när vi väl kom in så var det fantastiskt. Bra rum, perfekt läge på stranden och helt fantastisk personal. Vi ville komma tillbaka till detta hotell men det var fullbokat
