Very kind host, Noel is happy to help with everything! The lodge has a excellent location (close to the city center, bus stop, big supermarket at the corner,…). The room was basic but clean. For this price it is an excellent choice!

“Interesting and cheap”
That was very cheap accommodation. For this price I cannot complain.The owners was very helpful and friendly. Very good location. What you can expect? The rooms are small, not air conditioner, not hot water , specific toilet. All worth this price.

“Very good value for money, central location, and is very comfortable.”
This was my second time staying at this lodge and I came to realize that there's a lot of renovation taking place like the furniture, amenities, and internet, the rooms were so clean and very comfortable, and the staff (Noel) was incredibly helpful, Amazing rooms (there was even a Flat TV and Free Wi-Fi now), and the internet was very good with 5G speed. Excellent location is located at the city center, at an affordable price in which is very cheap. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting Bagamoyo.

“Room was way too hot and humid”
The room was so hot and humid that it was almost unbearable to be in there. We could only just sleep in there, but besides that we had to stay out the whole day because it was impossible to be in the room.
