I received this accommodation as part of my 6 day tour. Stayed here 2 nights. Things that matter to me. After using my towels first day, I left it on the floor. On coming back, found it hanging on the rack to be used again. Complaint to reception I was told "we don't change towels daily, welcome to Africa". I don't agree, this was my day 21, it's not true. Asked for towels which I was given. Breakfast was included in my deal, nothing special basic English Breakfast. Only soap is provided in bathroom. Toilet paper provided is very poor quality, worse than backpackers hostel in Thailand. Room is clean, no insects. Heater and power points. Fridge, microwave, kettle that worked. Toilet pan, cupboard and drawers all run down. WiFi good quality. TV was small and old, could not cast. TV hooked to a box with programs that wasn't desirable. No YouTube, Netflix etc. For SA room doors and windows were secure.

VERY over priced. Coffee - only 2 sachets provided. No option of tea. So either have one before bed or the morning!!! The only form of toileties, was a little round soap in a wrapper and an empty plastic bottle with a label stating "shampoo". Not even hand soap at the basin or a hand towel. Single ply toilet paper looked like rats had been at it. Mats in the bathroom had holes, as did the spare double/queen sized blanket for the single bed. No hairdryer. Electric blanket did not work and temp was around 3°. Thank goodness I had taken my hotwater bottle. Had 3 mis-matched cups, glasses, plates etc. Floor rug could do with a wash. Curtains are really thin and don't block out the lights from outside. Only 1 2-pin plug point in the room. There were various notices stuck with prestick on the walls indicating Rules, Tv guide, don't feed dogs, no smoking etc. Why not put all in a little flip file all in one place?? The single bed was comfortable and there was hot water for a shower. Location is good but needs loads of TLC. Don't think I will be going back any time soon.
