Short stay only
Pros:

Nice and clean place , beautiful as shown on the pictures , private entrance to the room, safe place with enough car parking.

Cons:

The water was cold , I tried to leave the tap open a bit longer thinking it might take time to heat up , ended up showering with cold water . There is only one towel , we had to share that with my partner after the cold shower , only had a duvet no blanket in the room incase it gets cold .

Cons:

We booked for three nights and when we returned to the accommodation quite late on the second day it was clear someone had entered the room to clean.
We would have preferred they didn't do that since all our stuff including my laptop, work files etc were in the room.
The owners dogs did unfortunately keep waking us up through the night. They were locked outside the whole time we stayed there.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I did not like anything.
I asked before coming if the swimming pool was working, the owner said yes, when I got there the swimming pool had dirty water that were smelling, you could even smell from the room at night as the room was opposite the pool.
We were given a different room from what I have booked, and the host said I would move into the room I booked the following day, and that never happened. He did not even bother to apologize the following day.
The room is not comfortable, there are noisy dogs who stay next to the room. The room has cockroaches. The shower had no curtains. If a person can pass while showering, he or she will see you.
No shower towels, there were used shower gel in the shower, no mop, no broom.
There is nothing that separates the shower and the toilet to the point that when you are done showering, the whole floor is wet, and mind you, we did not have mop.
No proper orientation, I didn't even know where their reception was, if they have.

Comments on okoli's guest house
Pros:

Private space, great Internet and channels.

Cons:

Dogs always bark at you when going to the care. It was so hygienic, we did not have a mop or broom to atheist sweep the floor. The blankets nd pillow cases were not washed and the pillows were not good quality. This needs to be considered especially for future guests.
