This property was absolutely horrific and looks nothing like the pictures advertised. There was blood on the towels, the beds were stained and cats had urinated etc. in the room. It was filthy. The fact Expedia endorses this property is a disgrace. After complaining we were denied access to the property and are still awaiting a refund over a week later. I expect Expedia to take further action in this regard as the misrepresentations at play are staggering. We will be taking this matter further.

Where do I begin? I booked 1 room with two beds but when we checked in they gave me 1 bed. I showed Nema the booking and she called her manager who suggested we take 2 rooms downstairs. They have wifi which doesn't work downstairs so we took the 1 bed, room #5 to be specific. The bathroom was small and water didn't circulate, air conditioning did not work. When you report issues nothing happens and staff doesn't speak English. This was false advertising at its finest. The hotel looks like someone's house with a few rooms. U knock on the gate to enter, u can't just come as you please. There are so many other villas and hotels on the beach that are better than this. Same night I checked in I inquired about cancelling with full refund, no call back or response. Morning of departure woke up to no water!!!!!! Unable to shower or brush teeth. Its like they turned off the water pressure, I was truly disappointed and mad. I had a bottle of drinking water that I used to brush my teeth. At 6:45a I called the Turkish owners to tell them there was no water, he said it'll be on in 5minutes......we were set to leave at 8a to head back to Stonetown (ferry) and the water came back at 7:56am. I don't usually write reviews and often think they're fake or bought, but I had to save people from booking here. I will visit Zanzibar again but I will NEVER stay at this "hotel/hostel" again. If you think I'm lying or exaggerating book just 1 night and see for yourself.

Værste hoteloplevelse
Hotellet lukkede ned i januar 2020. Det vil sige at vi blev nødt til at bruge ekstra penge på et andet hotel, fordi det hotel vi havde bestilt, ikke længere findes. Ekstrem dårlig arbejde fra jeres side at i ikke fjerne hotellet. Øv for en oplevelse. Udover dette kan man ikke få fat på jer så man kan få pengene igen... utroligt

Expérience affreuse
Nous avons du changer d'Hotel car rien de ce qui est présenter est vraie. Ce n'est pas un hôtel c'est un taudi. Odeur nauséabonde d'urine de chat, aucune réception,Il n'y a même pas de hall tout est détruit. Le propriétaire est un voleur. Un couple est arrivé en même temps que nous et ils ont quitté aussi. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cet hôtel fait encore parti de votre site. De plus, nous attendons des nouvelles du propriétaire par hotel.com. Cela fait deux semaines et nous avons pas eu de suite de lui et de votre part. Méfiez-vous par les bons commentaires car personne peut trouver cet endroit génial. Ce sont des faux commentaires, punaise de lit, vols assurés à cet endroit.

Ingen service över huvud taget. Ligger inte vid vattnet, ingen resturang vid boendet. Smutsigt, myror överallt. Inget vatten stora delar av tiden vi bodde där. Ingen städning.
