    Breakfast every day was decent, the day we ate in the restaurant the eggs were perfect and the days we had trips booked he made us excellent travel boxes.

    - I had just proposed to my girlfriend a couple of days before and had made a specific request that there be some kind of romantic decoration, which they messaged back agreeing to, and when we arrived nothing was provided. - I had told them the time we would be arriving, upon arrival we had to wait for 45 minutes at reception for them to "clean the room". I had assumed that was because they were setting up the decorations, but they weren't, they were actually cleaning the room ... Badly. There was lizard droppings on the headrest of the bed. We later found out that we were the only people on the property which made the fact that there was no clean rooms on arrival even more astonishing. - When we arrived we were tired from our flight and decided to eat dinner at this place instead of having to go out, which was offered to us at $10 per person. At the end when we wanted to settle our bill, we were referred to the owner to send us a payment link, who then insisted that it cost us $15 each per person despite the fact that we were clearly told it was $10, for, plainly speaking,average food. - There are also loads of cows and chickens roaming next to our room, who at between 5 and 6am every day woke us up. - While not the bungalows issuing the charge themselves, there was no mention from them about the fact that because they are located just within the marine park that there is an additional $23 per person, per day charge which suddenly made what we thought was a budget stay not so much so.

    Thuis op Mafia Island

    De locatie: heel rustig en met de fiets op korte tijd naar het strand. Fantastisch gastheer: enthousiast, behulpzaam, correct, staat voor je klaar. Heel lekker gegeten waarbij je flexibel kan laten weten of je daar eet of niet en wat. Gezellige en comfortabele kamer. In contact gebracht met fijne snorkelgids waarmee we alle activiteiten deden. Het voelde als thuis! Niet twijfelen, de beste plek op Mafia Island.

    Helemaal niks!!!

    Wunderschöne Unterkunft

    Die Unterkunft hat meinem Sohn und mir sehr gut gefallen. Es war sauber und komfortabel. Das Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr lecker und es wurde alles für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt getan. Auch Ausflüge (z.B. zum Schnorcheln oder Schwimmen mit Walhaien konnten über die Unterkunft gebucht werden. Alle waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Besitzer war sehr kulant.

    El mejor alojamiento de Mafia.

    Honestamente este alojamiento es lo mejor de Mafia! El desayuno es increíble, y la gente muy amorosa. Las habitaciones son muy amplia y cómodos. El entorno es precioso. Es para vivir una experiencia más local, no a ir a encerrarse a un lodge sin conocer la gente local. Queda como a 20 minutos de la playa caminando, y el hostal dispone de bicicletas que llegas mucho más rápido.
