Guest reviews

Beautiful area with pool, shared kitchen and places to sit and relax. The tent and the shared bathrooms were clean and perfect for 2 nights. The reception could always get us a taxi to town or to the falls, the cost is 5-10 dollars per way.

Территория выглядит в целом неплохо.

Территория выглядит в целом неплохо.

Никто за все время - 5 ночей не убирался в номере, не выносил мусор, не менял постельное белье. Каждое ранее утро в районе в 7 утра долго, громко и нудно персонал подметал, мешая спать. Санузел в неудовлетворительном состоянии, вода протекает, бачок нормально не работает, в душе нет нормальной подачи воды. Также не понравилось, что холодильник - один на весь лодж, в условиях жаркой страны при полном заполнении он не охлаждает нормально. Соотношение цена качество ужасное - в Китае за такие деньги у меня был номер 50 квадратов с джакузи и понорамным видом. Очень разочарован выбором. Никогда ранее не оставлял отрицательных отзывов ни одному отелю
