"The place is very nice and clean, however we felt a little bit scammed for the price of the food which is over European standard. They only have one choice and asked 20$ for it and you really don’t have other options in the area. They let you pay also the water…the road to come is very bad also. I’d not stay again"

"El hotel ofrece lo que tiene para el precio que cuesta (unos cuarenta o cincuenta euros por noche). Lo mejor es la atención al cliente y la cocina. Lo peor, la habitación: es muy básica, con una cama cuyo somier se hunde por la mitad y ni siquiera una papelera en parte alguna (por supuesto, tampoco gel de ducha o champú). El dueño, Gerald, es muy amable y servicial. La carretera que lleva hasta el villorrio de Buhoma (lugar donde se encuentra y desde donde se parte para ver los gorilas) es la...
