Haile and his team are amazing and extremely attentive and sweet. I really enjoyed my 13-day stay at Wib Guesthouse! It is very comfortable and clean with a nice courtyard. It was great to have a private bathroom as well. And I loved the extra (and thoughtful) services like pickup and dropoff to your next location, as well as offering tea and coffee every morning.

    Awesome hot shower with really good pressure. Old school villa style house and really helpful, friendly staff. Allowed early check in. And even though I wasn't staying on my last day, I was allowed to shower and stow my luggage before my flight. Noni is a great host, a credit to herself and keeps all the guests informed, happy and well served at the bar too! When the power died, she had a powerbank to lend to charge my phone. She came through :)

    It’s more recommendation. I would market the rooftopterrace more. I don’t see any photos on booking nor is it known by the local public. If I were the owner I would definitely market this also to locals who wants to enjoy a nice evening on a roofterrace.
