"Un très bel hotel qui pourrait facilement améliorer son organisation pour etre encore plus agréable"

8.0

tres belle architecture, bien situé dans Shella, chambre spacieuse, lit tres confortable, avec un grand balcon et vue sur la mer, et un staff qui repond positivement à nos demandes de ménage, de petit déjeuner en chambre, qui aide pour porter les sacs etc..

cet hotel pourrait etre de plus grand standing avec quelques améliorations - du shampoing dans les salles de bains, ou au moins dans la boutique de l'hotel - de l'eau plus chaude dans la douche - un sac pour la blanchisserie et une liste de prix - le petit déjeuner servi on time et non avec 1h de retard par rapport à l'heure demandée - le ménage fait tous les jours systématiquement, et non à la demande, dans les chambres et autour de la piscine

"Filthy hotel"

1.0

Nothing.

Dirty room (with blood stains on walls) Dirty bathroom Dirty curtains Dirty bed linen (with blood stains) Dirty mosquito net Dirty cutlery Dirty crockery Dirty eating area Found insects all over one of the beds. Was told they were attracted to some of the oils in my bags. Filthy hotel with barely any maintenance done on facilities No aircon - hot room Having to sleep with rattling fan all night No hot water Clocked shower Bad communication by manager. Ignoring messages and calls, not addressing issues. Windows and doors with openings that remain open all night, loud cat noises and donkey noises all night. Breakfast orders taken night before, yet not served breakfast because order was not received. Once received, food served on Dirty plates.
