We enjoyed our stay

Everyone was very friendly at this hotel and the host Happy was especially helpful and friendly. We were able to keep our luggage in our room and take a quick shower before heading back to stone town even though it was after check out. Happy helped us arrange an affordable taxi back. We would definitely recommend!

Good value for money with some downsides

Good value for money. Very hot in the room with the ceiling fan not cooling the room enough. Excellent location and breakfast. Friendly staff but nobody cleaned our room during the 4 nights we were there.

Huonetta ei siivottu, lakanoita ja pyyhettä ei vaihettu kertaakaan, vaikka olin hotellissa kolme viikkoa. Sängyssä ei ollut verkkoa. Hotellissa ei ollut myöskään kuntosalia, vaikka netissä lukee niin. Aamupala oli hyvä.

Hotellet är väldigt slitet. Wifi finns inte i rummen. Servicen nästan obefintlig. Hotellet har även en stor hund som springer omkring och skäller. Välj ett annat hotell.

A stay in a magic and friendly place

I felt more like I'm at home than being in a hotel. The experience is what counts here. Getting up, joining friends in on the rooftop terrace for breakfast and enjoying the view is just a great start into any day! The rooms are not luxurious, and they don't have to be. It'd be a shame to spend more time than needed for sleeping in them anyway, considering the amount of activities going on every day, and the lovely company one usually has on the rooftop anyway. I want to be back there!

Немного не соответствует своему названию

Нам достался номер с видом на соседний балкон, номер маленький, не хватает шкафа для вещей, в ванне полочек, крючков, одежду сушить негде. На первом этаже есть комната для хранения кайт оборудования, но не хватает полочек опять же крючков вешалок и т.д. Все лежит на полу. Все оборудование в песке, особенно если кататься до захода солнца. Хотелось бы больше условий для кайтеров, обустроить хранилку, сделать опреснялку, сушилку во дворе, место для сушки и упаковки кайтов. Пляжный песок очень напрягает, домой пару кг привезли))) Понравился бар, на 3м этаже там же кухня, завтрак, ужин.

Great place to stay

Great location right near the beach. The reception, bar and restaurant is up 3 flights of stairs which could be a problem if you have mobility issues. However you get great views from the top. The staff are excellent. They have a WhatsApp group which keeps you in touch and offers menu choices. We had the seafood bbq one evening and it was very nice. The room was spacious and clean the only downside is you don’t have anywhere private to sit and enjoy an evening drink. The village of paje is wonderful with several shops selling local paintings and hand crafts. Check out muaza a local painter stunning. The beach is probably the most beautiful I have ever been on. Highly recommended

Freundliches Hotel für Kiter

Das Essen ist super lecker. Isst man etwas nicht, in meinem Fall Fleisch und Fisch, wird extra etwas vegetarisches gekocht. Die Zimmer sind groß genug und werden sehr gut gereinigt. Der Deckenventilator reicht vollständig aus um einen angenehmen Luftzug zum schlafen aufrechtzuerhalten. Wir haben uns in dem Hotel wie daheim gefühlt, man isst gemeinsam und unternimmt Ausflüge zusammen. Alles in allem empfehlenswert!

Prisvärt hotell med bra service!

Väldigt prisvärt hotell nära stranden! Perfekt för dig som vill kitesurfa och möta folk med samma intresse. Jättebra service, trevlig personal, gemensamma middagar om man vill. Rent, fräscht. Dock lite varmt då där inte finns någon AC. Frukosten också jättebra!

Personnel très accueillant, une grande chambre avec grand lit et moustiquaire, salle de bain grande mais mal agencée ou rien n'est fait pour poser ses affaires et la douche se situe entre le lavabo et les WC donc dès qu'on se douche on trempe tout. Par contre, on a attendu jusqu'à 3j avant que la chambre soit nettoyée après avoir placé un écriteau demandant le nettoyage. Petit déjeuné excellent et copieux. Les repas du soir sont également bons et copieux. Faisant chaud, on dort avec les fenêtres ouvertes, donc assez bruyant jusqu'au tard dans la nuit avec les autres pensionnaires qui passent leur soirée/nuit sur la terrasse/séjour. Également bruyant le matin vis à vis de la vie environnante, tel que les personnes qui klaxonnent en voiture, les très nombreux corbeaux ou les zébus. Mais dans l'ensemble je recommande cet auberge :)

Decent place for the price and awesome location

This guesthouse is very close to the beach and is kept quite clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. There a a few things that could be improved 1. Despite us sending all the info weeks in advance they messed up our airport pickup and we ended up arranging a different taxi. We were told we'd be picked up so we ended up wasting almost an hour waiting at the airport. 2. The website claims that there is free WiFi, but there wasn't any. This is a big selection criteria for us in choosing where to stay and a misrepresentation by the guesthouse. 3. There is no front desk so if no one is around it might be difficult to check in

Very nice, affordable and well located budget accomodation. Cool and easy going staff and comfortable and social common areas. The only negative was that the mattresses where extremely hard.
