Vorsicht bei Aufträgen an Hotelangestellte
Pros:

Schönes großes Zimmer mit zuverlässigem wake-up Service und Shuttlebus.

Cons:

Das uns ein Hotelangestellter beim Kauf um Geld betrogen hat, interessierte keinen. Ist halt üblich in Tansania und gehört zur Mentalität (lt. einer Einheimischen)

Super raccomandato
Pros:

Là vicinanza all’aeroporto, l’ampiezza delle camere e della doccia, la crema corpo e il dental kit, la qualità dei materassi e degli asciugamani, la presenza del bollitore in camera, la palestra.

Cons:

Là posizione , ma d’altronde è stato scelto come base prima di un volo intercontinentale, abbiamo visto di peggio ;-) . Mancava il phon in camera

Pros:

after many phone calls, they finally sent a car to pick us up at the terminal
when our AC did not work, staff (reluctantly) agreed to give us a different room

Cons:

AC in the room was not working, it took us a long time (and energy) to convince staff to give us a different room
Ther was no food in the restaurant in the evening, even though it was formally "open"
