Really recommend 6pm
Pros:

This is a great hotel, very clean and super comfy bed. I liked the calm grounds and nice pool view room. Staff are very good. Good place to chill for a day. I stayed in 2 other hotels in the city - this was by far the best one.

Cons:

My only suggestion would be to put some mattresses on the pool lounges - or get more of the comfy lounges around the pool area - 4 is not enoughh. Also snall thing - I ordered a 'fresh' pineapple juice but it was fresh from a can despite them 'confirming' it was fresh - it was not. Food was expensive imho.

Mecbur olduğunuz için kalacaksınız. Ama normal şartlarda kalkınmaz.
Pros:

Hiç bir şey, sadece garsonlar iyi niyetliler. Onun dışında sıfırın altında.

Cons:

Her yerde kertenkele, 3 gün kaldım 1 kete bile temizlemediler.

Gut gelegenes, sehr sauberes Hotel. Ansprechender Garten und Pool, Blick auf den Tanganyika See.
Pros:

Frische Früchte zum Frühstück: Mango, Ananas, Maracuja. Sehr gutes Omelette, lokaler Kaffee und Tee. Immer frisch zubereitet und sehr freundlich im Restaurant am Pool serviert. Zimmer und Bett sehr sauber! Moskito-Netz über dem Bett. Roof Top Restaurant sehr empfehlenswert.

Cons:

Für 3 Sterne alles bestens!
