Igazi afrikai hangulat
Igazi afrikai szálláshely. A szobák és főleg a fürdőszobák alacsony igényszintűek. Légkondi nincs. Viszont a személyzet nagyon kedves. A hangulat nagyszerű. A partmenti elhelyezkedés és a nagyon kedvező árak mindenképpen mellette szólnak. Hippiknek és lélekben hippiknek nagyon ajánlott. Mi imádtuk.

Siamo arrivate in 3 domenica 16 febraio, abbiamo trovato una camera da 2 persone senza finestre e molto sporca. Dopo lunga discussione lunedì pomeriggio siamo riuscite ad avere una camera x 3 comunque piccola e comunque sporca. In tutta la settimana non è mai stato fatto il check in. Il proprietario e responsabile quasi sempre assente

Déçue pour le prix! Nous avions une chambre face à la mer, mais extrêmement bruyante, impossible de dormir avant 2/3h du matin, réveil à 6h maximum.. Eau de récupérateur d’eau de pluie, donc pas de douche quand nous avons envie. Wifi qui marche 1h/jour à peine. Personnel peu souriant, et ménage fait 3 fois sur 9 jours.. Excursion avec le guide de « l’hôtel » hors de prix.. Je dirais plutôt que c’est une guest house et non un hôtel 3 étoiles! Par contre petit déjeuner top, varié et très bon. Et repas très bon!! Et transat + hamac vue mer très jolie!

Upon arrival, our room was sold a second time, I heard that there is no room where we paid for a delux room. Not nice service, no contact with the management or the owner, I did not even hear sorry. I had to look for another hotel ...!
