    Check in was difficult, we have a booking and give our room to other person, later they try to ask for more money than the booking we have. I write this as a suggestion to manage better the future bookings

    Nice area and swimming pool. They helped us to change money

    It's near the beach, just have to cross the street, but if you are looking for sea-view rooms it is not your place. For the rest,. everything perfect!

    Confortable bungalow, we booked one without private bathroom and surprisingly it had one :)

    A nice and friendly hotel close to the beach.

    Prices on home page do not reflect pricelist in the resturant. We were charged 600 metical for breakfast, not 250 as it is stated at the hotels home page.

    A very nice hotel with a good atmosphere. A small pool but the ocean was just outside the door. The beach just next to the hotel was not perfect, a bit much stones and some glass. Just a short walk north or south the conditions were exceptional. South we found a busy beach where the dhows landed the mornings catch of fish. A Bon Dia to people you meet that you meet is returned and with a smile. Mozambiquans seem to be a friendly people. Beds were a bit too firm, but all rooms were nice, simple and clean. Friendly staff and a charming hotel owner. We were picked up at the airport and he were given some good tips on where to go and what to visit. In town the market is wort a visit, especially the more hidden parts. People were friendly and price negotiations were less necessary the further away from the big market street you came. A trip to Bazaruto is recommended, but do not visit two mile reef at high tide for snorkeling, only for scuba diving. Make sure to visit only at low tide, else the current and waves are too high. Mozambique waste disposal have some improvement potential. Streets are kept clean every day by people removing dust and litter. Outside of the streets the litter sometimes pile up, not a pretty sight. If you are into horseback riding, make sure to visit Pat and Mandy in Mozambique Horse Safari.

    The pool wasn't clean, so not usable.

    The bathroom with open ceiling. Amazing! :) And the food at the restaurant.

    We got hot water in the shower the 5th day... soap the 3rd. The tubes doesnt work well. We had stop in our toilet. Last night the air con stopped working. We could sleep in another room wich was good but anyway it caused frustration thou we had to wake to 3.30 next day to leave. There were wholes in the mosquitero The door to the toilet was not posible to close The drain of the shower was clogged and was not fixad until the 5th day. There is no soundprofing to the extent that you could hear the neighburs conversation. We asked the managers for helping us to fix taxi for our early morning leave. They sade yes yes of course but the nothing happened. We had to fix it by ourself las minute.

    The staff was very friendly, nice and helpful. They always meet us with kind and happy enegy doing their best to make us feel good. The restaurante has good food. The place to eat and hang around is nice This could be a really nice place if the basic things was working okay and they are not. Se next.

    Had agreed to meet with a member of staff to help bring us to the bus stop very early in the morning. The staff member never turned up which meant us finding the bus by ourselves and almost missing our journey. Bar staff were mostly friendly. Cleaning staff were good also.

    It all started with the booking. They contacted me saying 50% of the payment was due to be paid by transfer when on their booking.com page no prepayment was required. We did pay, sent them the confirmation and 3 weeks before our arrival they texted me on WhatsApp saying they never received the payment and they gave our rooms away. They sent me a link for other apartments that didn't require prepayment. I was shocked, we paid them and we had the proof document. Booking.com customer service managed very well the situation so in the end we had our room and didn't lose money. The place was old, dark and had no view. Full of mosquitos and the nets full of holes. I spent all night scared we would catch malaria. Never again will I stay in this place.

    Pizzas they serve were fine.
