Pros:

The owner of the Hotel pretended not to have any business relations with this site. Even though i have paid the full amount, they charged me more and i had to pay them directly, in order to have my room. Confrontation and a stressful experience, with not much support from the management staff.

Hotel is not very clean, but a basic breakfast was served.

Disappointing
Pros:

The room I got at janataan was sub par and I cancelled the booking but I was transferred to Shela White House Near the beach hassle free
The mango juice was awesome
The service guy Safari/ safiri was ready to help plus the tall guy (name has slipped my mind) that helped with the bags when we got to Shela
I had left the water bottle and the ensured it was delivered to the airport 🙂

Cons:

They don't have basic amenities like water in the room.

Good for a budget stay.
Pros:

The pool provided good relief from the heat. The triple rooms are spacious. They contacted me the day before to ask if I needed an airport transfer, then arranged the transfer. The coffee and juices for breakfast are good.

Cons:

We originally booked double rooms. The rooms were literally the width of the bed and less than a meter on either side. The cupboard doors were falling off their hinges. There were no hangers provided. The Swahili breakfast was served cold.
