3.1
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat sich um unsere Anliegen sehr gut gekümmert.
Die Ausstattung der Zimmer war abgewohnt und teilweise defekt. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig. Neben einem Zimmer befand sich ein Generator, der mitten in der Nacht für über eine Stunde mit einem ohrenbetäubenden Lärm lief.
Am schlimmsten war jedoch die Klimaanlage in diesem Zimmer: Sie hat, insbesondere in der Zeit, in der der Generator lief und noch eine Stunde danach, einen kloakigen Gestank ins Zimmer verteilt.
3.1
The staff were very helpful and informative of things I needed to know about the property, breakfast area, pool, etc
The road to the property needs attention

3.1
Local food was very good and swimming pool excellent
It was 20-30 minutes drive on a rough road to airport but-info said 2k. Very misleading. Bed was too short.
3.1
The location was not near the airport i did not end up staying there since it was misrepresented in the listing and needed to be near the airport. Terrible location
Be truthful about location it is very far from airport w
3.1
An oasis hidden in a rough neighbourhood. Two pools.
The bar and restaurant staff were very uninterested. The restaurant only serves chicken with fries, no other dishes. It took almost an hour to get a juice from the bar, even though it was listed in the menu.
3.1
A very nice little place to spend a night or longer near DAr airport.
They forgot to meet us for a transfer but a hiatus in the plane arrival times could have been the cause of this.
We got there ok in the end although the long dark road was not inspiring.
It was all fine with us apart from the dark bumpy road at night time.
3.1
Good breakfest
The swimmingpool could be cleaner
3.1

music everywhere even in restaurant .locals would come in plug their i pods in and blast music out with no regard to paying customers
3.1
close to the sea
environment dirty
needs maintenance
3.1
This property was very close to the airport. we reached Dar at 1200 midnight and had our next flight the following day at 1145am. was very comfortable.
Breakfast was mediocre.. but it did not bother us
3.1
Very good staff like Lilian and Amina
Chef was good also
3.1
The hotel had two good sized swimming pools and was an easy commute from the airport.
Limited choice of meals at the restaurant / bar and a poor breakfast.
3.1
Aircon in Room
Bedding and pillows were nice
Decent towel
Staff all looked utterly miserable and unhappy to be working there. Perhaps they are being treated badly by the owner/manager?
Bed was too short for me and there was a footboard which meant I couldn't stick my feet over. I couldn't sleep properly as I was uncomfortable.
The location is in the middle of nowhere, a fair distance from the airport terminal buildings.
Noise of planes taking off/landing.
Despite the dinner menu, only chicken and fish were available. We waited nearly 2 hours for it and the quality of the meat was horrendous. Only problem is that there is nowhere else around to eat.
Breakfast was truly abysmal, the worst I have ever had in any hotel! (Dry slices of white bread; terrible margarine and jam; some boiled eggs; and plain noodles; hot water; hot milk; tea bags and coffee sachets). No water, juices, fruit, yoghurts, cereals, pancakes, toaster to make toast.... Our son hates eggs and doesn't drink tea or coffee, so we had a buy him some water!
No access to drinking water and no bottles provided.

Close to the airport. Nice, standard room.
The hotel opens up their pool to everyone, there were a lot of people and very loud music
The receptionist ensured us our airport transfer would pick us up on the discussed time, the taxi was not there. We had a delay of 30 minutes because of this. The recptionist did not communicate clearly and seemed unbothered to help.
3.1
Very conveniently located from airport.
really lovely friendly staff.
I felt very safe (solo female traveller)
The bed was really comfortable and clean.
Perfect for a one night stay.
swimming pool was nice but very busy during the day.
Nothing. it was great for what I needed.
Maybe the price of the airport shuttle one way $10 is a bit excessive for the distance. you wouldn’t pay that price even in London, but my driver was super lovely, respectful and helpful.
3.1
The staff were not warm and welcoming AT ALL. The listed price does not match the service, by far!
3.1

I would rate the WiFi 1 out of 10.
