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.

ubicazione eccellente, personale disponibile, le camere fronte mare gradevoli, le altre poste nel retro della struttura non adeguate alle temperature del luogo. Riteniamo segnalare che la descrizione della struttura proposta non corrisponde assolutamente alla realtà.

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 ...!
