Igazi afrikai hangulat

Igazi afrikai szálláshely. A szobák és főleg a fürdőszobák alacsony igényszintűek. Légkondi nincs. Viszont a személyzet nagyon kedves. A hangulat nagyszerű. A partmenti elhelyezkedés és a nagyon kedvező árak mindenképpen mellette szólnak. Hippiknek és lélekben hippiknek nagyon ajánlott. Mi imádtuk.

ubicazione eccellente, personale disponibile, le camere fronte mare gradevoli, le altre poste nel retro della struttura non adeguate alle temperature del luogo. Riteniamo segnalare che la descrizione della struttura proposta non corrisponde assolutamente alla realtà.

Siamo arrivate in 3 domenica 16 febraio, abbiamo trovato una camera da 2 persone senza finestre e molto sporca. Dopo lunga discussione lunedì pomeriggio siamo riuscite ad avere una camera x 3 comunque piccola e comunque sporca. In tutta la settimana non è mai stato fatto il check in. Il proprietario e responsabile quasi sempre assente

Déçue pour le prix! Nous avions une chambre face à la mer, mais extrêmement bruyante, impossible de dormir avant 2/3h du matin, réveil à 6h maximum.. Eau de récupérateur d’eau de pluie, donc pas de douche quand nous avons envie. Wifi qui marche 1h/jour à peine. Personnel peu souriant, et ménage fait 3 fois sur 9 jours.. Excursion avec le guide de « l’hôtel » hors de prix.. Je dirais plutôt que c’est une guest house et non un hôtel 3 étoiles! Par contre petit déjeuner top, varié et très bon. Et repas très bon!! Et transat + hamac vue mer très jolie!

Upon arrival, our room was sold a second time, I heard that there is no room where we paid for a delux room. Not nice service, no contact with the management or the owner, I did not even hear sorry. I had to look for another hotel ...!

Eccellente la premura la gentilezza di tutto il personale e la loro disponibilità impeccabile davvero ci si sente tranquilli e sicuri L'unica cosa che ovviamente è un ambiente molto Spartano semplice e forse stile africano ma va da sè che comunque c'è un buon rapporto prezzo qualità Dipende cosa uno cerca sono Cerca un ambiente stile africano va bene se uno vuole un ambiente tutto preciso forse anche con una struttura e le condizioni stile occidentale Non è forse questo è l'ambiente adatto

Rummet var trasigt i både väggar och tak. Det fanns inget rinnande vatten trots flera påtalningar om detta till personalen så gjordes inget åt problemet. Maten var hemsk och dyr. Personalen lämnade oss aldrig ifred när vi ville vara på stranden och sola och bada. Vi stod ut i ca 24h sen bokade vi ett nytt hotell i nungwi istället. Rekommenderar ingen att bo på Sipano faktiskt.

The facilities were absolutely horrible. The rooms were dark and dingy. My took my family and looked for a new hotel immediately. The staff, however, was very friendly, and the food service was OK. I would definitely never go back or recommend it to someone else.
