Pros:

Я бронировала за три недели и за 2 недели с меня списали оплату.
По приезду меня отказались заселять, сказав что номеров нет.
Я первый раз в жизни сталкиваюсь с таким . Я потратила целый день в поисках отеля на первой линии с балконом на море. А в итоге мне пришлось бронировать первое попавшееся.
Дверь в отель открыл постоялец , если бы он не выходил в тот момент я бы даже не смогла туда попасть.
Абсолютно безответственное отношение к бронированиям!!! Я сама работаю с Booking более 10 лет и не могу представить себе, что отели могут так поступать с ОПЛАЧЕННЫМИ бронированиями.

Pros:

I had a very nice stay at this beach front hotel. The location is perfect because it is directly near the beach, and I enjoyed the beautiful ocean view every day. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The price was also very good and affordable for my budget. Breakfast was tasty with many simple choices. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept well. The hotel also has good amenities that made my stay easy and relaxing. I would happily stay here again.

Good deal re: location, comfort & amenities
Pros:

1. Safety - always felt that I & and personal possessions were safe
2. Very pleasant & obliging staff
3. A small hotel, but with very large spacious bedroom, bed & bathroom w great mosquito net
4. On the beach & very close to the main beach without all the traffic, activities & noise (boats are often parked in front, but very quick & easy to swim or walk past them)
5. Opportunities to closely observe local fishing industry - culture & traditions
6. Very good open-water swimming opportunities, but must be careful of a few jet skis
7. Conveniently located to most necessary services, tours and sights
8. Delicious meals & drinks, especially the dinners
9. Airport transportation arranged by management

Cons:

1. There were frequent water & WIFI lock offs. This was not a surprise, but I think since this is a regular occurrence that:
a) the hotel should automatically provide 2 large containers of water for guests
b) the hotel should provide alternatives for guests, like a list with suggested local locations, ex - cafes with hotspots
2. Provide daily variety or a buffet for breakfast
3. Provide windows with screens, safe to open without everything within reach or visible to anyone outside
4. Better maintenance, necessary; too many installations broken or not working
5. Better, brighter lighting & better fan
6. Provide a small fridge

Horrible, À éviter absolument
Cons:

Coupure d’eau et l’électricité de 17h jusqu’à 22h30. Aucun personnel sur place pour nous renseigner. J’ai quitté l’hôtel à 22h30 car je suis revenu à l’hôtel (j’ai passé la soirée à nungwi)car on ne pouvait pas dormir dans ces conditions (sans Clim, sans eau sans électricité) il fait très chaud et humide.

Pulizie mai fatte e mancanza di acqua e elettricità
Pros:

Solo la posizione

Cons:

Il fatto che nn c’era l’acqua e manco la elettricità! Poi per nn parlare che la nostra camera nn aveva la finestra .. poi c’era una puzza di muffa allucinante! Poi la nostra camera in 5 giorni nn hanno mai pulito la stanza e manco cambiato gli asciugamani! È vergognoso che una struttura del genera sia su Booking!

Pros:

Mám to tam rada, bola som tam už niekoľkokrát. Je to veľmi jednoduché a skromné ubytovanie, v rámci možností. S týmto hotelom je ešte na čom pracovať, ale verím, že robia čo je v ich silách. Mám to tam rada a viem si predstaviť čo všetko by sa dalo. Hotel má obrovský nevyužitý potenciál. Potreboval by stály dohľad. Je potrebné sa na tento hotel pozerať očami Afriky nie očami rozmaznaného turistu.

Via dalla pazza folla
Pros:

Struttura piccola e accogliente proprio sulla spiaggia. Posizione perfetta tra un villaggio di pescatori e la confusione dei grandi alberghi. Leggendo alcuni commenti, cattivi, mi ero spaventata..ciò che qualcuno definisce “un porto proprio davanti all’albergo”, è in realtà una piccola baia con un mare splendido dove sono presenti un po’ di barche di pescatori che all’ora della colazione sono già uscite in mare e tornano al tramonto! Anzi, ho trovato molto gradevole e caratteristico assistere ogni sera alla conclusione della giornata di pesca, mai visti tanti tonni tutti insieme!
Buono il ristorante con i tavolini sulla spiaggia, ottimi gli hamburger. Bravissime le ragazze che fanno i massaggi in una piccola SPA all’interno della proprietà. Comodi i letti. Di sicuro più belle le due camere con terrazza vista mare, le altre un po’ buie comunque affascinanti.

Cons:

I pipistrelli non li ho visti, però consiglio di pulire tutti i giorni la parte sotto la tettoia.
