Warning the chicken curry is full of bones broken and sharp. Our complementary breakfast never came. they have 3 items on there dinner menu and you still have to wait 1.5 to 2 hours for it to arrive. When you go to check out they had no credit card machine so that added a layer of difficulty to the stay. ##### Len Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Casey 12 Jun 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Overall our stay was ordinary the property has amazing views from both the restaurant and the rooms and the staff are really nice. However the property is let down by lacking proper management and the overall confusion with check in and sorting out problems during our stay,we had no hot water for the 3 days and there was no wifi until the last day only due to other guests continuously complaining until rectified.we also felt sorry for staff that got spoken to very rudely by another group of guests that were staying at the time, which in our opinion no one should have been spoken to like they were when staff were trying to do there best they could,which also goes back to the property lacking management that could have sorted the rude and arrogant guests and not looked so unprofessional in the eyes of the other guests that were staying at the time.so overall our opinion is it’s overpriced for what you get and until better management is put into place to sort problems and control unpleasant guests there are better places to stay in Sipi falls ##### Casey ### 6/10 Okay #### Tania 21 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service Veel te duur voor wat het is ##### Tania Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [U Medvidku - Brewery Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-U-Medvidku-Brewery-Hotel.h26988382.Hotel-Information) > > [Latitude 0 Degrees](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kampala-Hotels-Latitude-0-Degrees.h36624341.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Helgoland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helgoland-Hotels.d7680.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bath City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bath-City.h74076613.Hotel-Information) > > [Kampala Nile Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeta-Hotels-Kampala-Nile-Resort.h57353273.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near London England Temple The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-England-Temple-The-Church-Of-Jesus-Christ-Of-Latter-Day-Saints-Hotels.0-l553248621532493806-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mediterraneo Real Apartamentos Turísticos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Hotels-Mediterraneo-Real-Apartamentos-Turisticos.h2285895.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kabale-Hotels-Lake-Bunyonyi-Rock-Resort.h17955003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingfisher Safaris Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jinja-Hotels-Kingfisher-Safaris-Resort-Hotel.h34478086.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brigg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels.d6047958.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Jaipur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaipur-District-Hotels-Fairmont-Jaipur-Hotel.h4718535.Hotel-Information) > > [Papyrus Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Entebbe-Hotels-Papyrus-Guest-House.h35815542.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Andorra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Andorra-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d4-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Pakuba Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pakuba-Hotels-Pakuba-Safari-Lodge.h37796831.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa de Campo Resort and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Casa-De-Campo-Resort-And-Villas.h893050.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from heathrow airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lhr/flights-from-heathrow-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Zanzibar Town (ZNZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/znz/london-to-zanzibar) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Forest (GCI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/gci/newcastle-to-guernsey) > > [Flights from Newquay Cornwall to LON-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nqy/lon/newquay-to-london) > > [Flights from London (LCY) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/ncl/london-to-newcastle) ### Cars > [Centauro Car Rentals In London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Centauro-Car-Rentals-In-London-City-Centre.d6195474-c1015.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Thrifty Car Rental Destinations In United States Of America](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Destinations-In-United-States-Of-America.d201-c45.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Orkney Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Orkney-Islands.d6051152.Car-Hire-Destinations) > > [Hertz Car Rentals In Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Stansted.d5133395-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Harefield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Harefield.d6339880.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Alonissos Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alonissos.d6047004.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit San Pedro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro.dx3253) > > [Visit Sumatra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sumatra.dx6049206)
