"- Great value for money - kind and friendly staff - daily thorough cleaning - beautiful garden - profits going towards helping kids with HIV - good food at good price"
- would have been great if there were a kettle for guests' use. Needed some hot water to soothe my stomach and had to ask the staff to boil a cup for me.

"Sehr nette Besitzerin. Lage etwas versteckt im Kampung. Nah am Flughafen. An einem kleinen See mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Essensmöglichkeiten an der nahen Hauptstraße. Küche mit Kühlschrank und Waschmaschine. Super für Leute, die eine Übernachtung in Flughafennähe suchen."
Alles bestens!

"A very nice and atmospheric resort. Beautiful surroundings. Lots of parking spaces. There is a gazebo on site where you can barbecue and spend a nice evening. Additionally, a small playground for children. The rooms are very clean. Two toilets and 3 shower cabins per floor."

"The property is really located downtown, easy to find, and close to places where you can buy necessities."
I like the property because the staff are kind and will help you when you’re carrying belongings.

"A nice stay in a good location and friendly staff and manager."
It didn’t bother me but our room was adjacent road which has some car traffic. Closing the window blocked most traffic sound.

"Quiet spot that's a short walk to the harbor where Nuuk Water Taxi and the Arctic Umiaq line leave from. The host was very friendly and helpful with luggage storage. Small place with only 3 rooms and a shared kitchen."
Wasn't a problem for me but as a warning you must climb up a lot of stairs to get in.

"View from balcony, rustic, less tourists in the area, not commercialized and wonderful beach"
Unreliable WiFi and a couple of incorrect description posted on Booking.com (no indoor dining area, coffee maker) that are missing in the room.

"The location, the village of TAAPU and its people, the good price for Huahine."
Provide some décent knifes, cutting boards, and paint a bit the outside kitchen to make it more welcoming and it will be a 10. Anyhow it is a good choice if you're on a budget.

"Room was clean and spacious. Kitchen available was well equipped. Super quiet and peaceful. Loved eating breakfast and watching the birds!"
Little bit out of the city but still close enough to bus station and a cheap taxi ride back from town if you don't want to walk up the hill.

The 6 beds room was small and we were tight.

"The beds were clean and had mosquito nets. The room was spacious with only 4 beds. There's an AC in the room and 2 fans. The location is good; it's like a village on the western side of the city. It is safe even walking at night. There are small shops nearby. You can buy basic stuff and cook in the fully equipped kitchen. The beaches are 15-20 minutes walking or 5 min by tuktuk. The fast ferry to the airport is just 10 min walking distance. The staff were ok and helpful. The view from the balcony is great. It's the cheapest place in town. In fact it's the only hostel in Freetown on Booking.com. They have a generator in case of power cuts. The wifi is fast."
The toilet needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance. There's no hot water and the water pressure is weak. The generator is right under the dorm window; very loud. But still; you get what you pay for. A basic hotel in the area is 3-4 times more expensive.
