What people say

There was some confusion about if the price was to be charged on the credit card or had to be paid to the hostel. I paid locally but was able to get it refunded by the manager Kassim Miliki after it was confirmed that letsbookhotel.com has charged my credit card. The hostel is right at the beach. Some restaurants and shops are around. beautiful view. The position. The polish owner is not present at the hostel and the local staff maintains it "at good African standard". E.g. the water pump to the toilet on the second floor turned off every now and then. The stairway to the 2nd was missing a plank and moved when we walked on it. The toilet seat on the groundfloor should at least be fixed with 2 screws. The night we stayed we where not even given a key for our room.
