Igiene insoddisfacente, zanzariere rotte, manutenzione scarsa

Pros: Nulla Cons: il proprietario dice che la recensione é FALSA, ma HO LE FOTO E QUANDO RIESCO A FARLO QUI LE PUBBLICO! ANDATE A VEDERE LE RECENSIONI SU GOOGLE! Invece di usare energie per rispondere MALAMENTE ai clienti, che il profietario usi le energie per tirarsi su le maniche e PULIRE! Non lascio quasi mai recensioni negative, ma questa struttura ha superato il limite. Siamo alla nona struttura del nostro viaggio in Tanzania e abbiamo numerosi termini di paragone. Il problema principale sono igiene e manutenzione. Bagno con cattivo odore, pesanti incrostazioni di calcare e sporco su ru
