broken doors

nice area to hang out

I stayed two nights at this hotel (different dates) and in both occasions the room was not cleaned. towels were dirty / used (room 10), floor was clearly not clean - just for you to have an idea we found some documents/ papers of someone inside the wardrobe that showed her flight had departed 10 days before our arrival (room 12). there were no soap, shower works poorly. it is a challenge to wash your hair there. We chose this hotel because of the rates but I clearly do not understand how people can rate well this place. Chef cooks well though.

nice place to hang out

not clean, poor showers, office guy leaves you talking alone.

convenient location for safari transfer

We booked a triple room, on arrival we were given a double and were told that our 11 year old son had to sleep in the bunk room on his own - on our first night in Africa. We ended up with my husband sleeping on the floor with no bedding and no mosquito net. We had one towel between us and the tap was hanging out the sink. When we asked for a key to lock our door the hotel chap wandered off and didn’t ever come back so we were unable to lock our room. Staff cooking breakfast were friendly and the one bed we did have was clean and comfy. But overall the stay was quite stressful and uncomfortable.

Staff and general look of the place Breakfast was good Loved the decor

A better sign board for directions and a name plate at the gate to confirm location More wall sockets needed in the rooms
