Pros:

El lugar estaba bien y buena localización. El desayuno estaba bien y buena cantidad.

Cons:

El baño estaba sucio cuando llegamos y no entraron ningún día de los tres que estuvimos a limpiarlo. Además de eso, uno de los trabajadores desprendía un olor a alcohol bastante desagradable, pero su actitud no era mala.

Eenvoudig guesthouse met zwembad!
Pros:

Het geheel ligt heel rustig in een tuin met zwembad. Wij hadden twee driepersoons kamers en die waren allebei op de begane grond, met genoeg ruimte en ook een klein zitje voor de kamer. Er is een restaurant dat helaas op de dag van onze aankomst gesloten bleek te zijn, maar Kameleon Blue, zit er direct naast en zij hebben een prima restaurant. De tweede dag hebben we wel een drankje kunnen drinken en prima gegeten.

Cons:

Embe lodge is van dezelfde eigenaar als Balcony house in Stonetown, maar we misten hier wel een beetje de sfeer. Met een paar aanpassingen heeft het zeker potentie!

Bad
Pros:

Swimming pool was nice, when it was clean. The food in the restaurant was delicious, but took ages to prepare.

Cons:

Friendly staff, and a reasonable location, but so many issues. No hot water, water going off randomly, no water pressure. I really can't recommend it. The manager was drunk the first night we arrived, they tried to put us in a room with no water, the swimming pool not cleaned regularly. Compared with resorts nearby, where the price is similar, and which are a lot better, they should be charging half what they do.

Pros:

Great location, house surrounded by greenery. Beautiful view from the balcony. Everywhere is clean and nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible, poor. The only good thing was lemongrass tea from the garden, delicious. The fruits are tasty, but very small. No vegetables. For a whole week I only ate eggs and fruit because the bread was terrible. We were given nothing more.

Bad
Pros:

The location was nice.

Cons:

Awful service, the worst ever in Africa. They have done double booking and we struggled for hours to find a solution. We were forced to stay in room under construction, it was really dirty and we
found cockroaches. Also we struggled to pay by card because they insisted that the pos was out of order.

Very good
Pros:

The room on the second floor was very nice. The breakfast was sooo big and plentiful. The staff was very welcoming. The pool, the garden and the whole area is so beautiful. There's an interesting cave beach just a 5 minute walk away. If you're looking for a peaceful and quiet location, this is perfect.

Cons:

The dinner was not suitable for vegetarians, as they only had a set dinner every night which had meat in it. On the first night when we arrived quite late, they prepared potato fries for us, for 10 usd per person, which was quite a horrible price for 2 potatoes 😂There was no menu, or even any drinks except warm beer or water available. Luckily there's a lot of other places nearby where we could eat.
