Viel Geld für Nichts

1.0

eigentlich nichts.. die zwei Mädchen für Putzen und Frühstücks-/Abendservice waren freundlich und bemüht.

Bei unserer Ankunft am späten Nachmittag mussten wir feststellen, das diese heruntergekommene Anlage nichts mit der Beschreibung und den Fotos auf Bookingcom zu tun hat... unser gebuchtes Bungalow (Kongoni) war nicht vorbereitet. Nachdem die Putzfrau notdürftig das Bungalow gekehrt hat und der eigene zum Bungalow gehörende Pool vom gröbsten Dreck befreit wurde, mussten wir feststellen, dass wir kein Wasser im Zimmer haben. Duschen und Waschen war nicht möglich. Das unbequeme Bett war staubig(unter der Bettdecke war ein Tausendfüssler) und die Kissen, Bettwäsche, die Handtücher die Vorhänge etc alles stank extrem nach Rauch..und war teils dreckig. Jeden Tag Baustelle vor dem Bungalow. Bauarbeiter bauen direkt darunter zwei neue Bungalows. Es gab übrigens kein Wasser für uns (einzigen Gäste) da die Bauarbeiter die auf dem Gelände wohnen dies aufgebraucht hatten. Zum "Dinner" (60 Dollar😂für 2) bekamen wir das Essen der Arbeiter (Speghetti mit MaggiFixBolognese und Spinat. Am zweiten Tag nachdem Besuch des RuahaParks hatten wir endlich Wasser, aber der Wasserdruck fehlte aufgrund eines undichten Wasserzuleitungsrohr unter dem Waschbecken. Die von uns zurückgebrachte Lunchbox mit Hühnchen das wir nicht gegessen hatten, haben wir aufgewärmt mit scharfer Soße zum Dinner serviert bekommen.. mir fehlen hier einfach die Worte.. In der Nacht wird unterhalb der Gästebungalows der Plastikmüll des Dorfes verbrannt.. natürlich so dass der Wind den giftigen Rauch nicht ins Dorf weht, sondern hoch zu den Gästebungalows. Nun war uns auch klar warum alles derart nach giftigen Rauch stinkt. Übrigens: die knapp 1100 Dollar für 4 Nächte sollten wir plötzlich am Cash zahlen! Wir setzten durch mit Visa zahlen zu können. Ich kann hier ewig vorfahren, zusammengefasst: Meiden Sie diesen Ort.. allein für die Anfahrt von Iringa brauchen Sie ca 2 1/2 Std aufgrund der extrem schlechten Straßenverhältnisse, dass ist diese Unterkunft nicht wert!

Very pleasant and relaxing stay

9.0

Because I was the only guest they gave me an upgrade to the best bungalow with a private pool and game observation deck, even served dinner at the bungalow. Very good service and friendly staff.

A fan could have made the heat more bearable, but the pool made up for it. Ruaha National Park’s roads are atrocious.
