Other things to note
1. Room cleaning services are provided every day, with no additional fees charged.

2. We do not provide free personal laundry services. However, you can contact us, and the cleaner will provide this service at a small fee.

3. We presently have two (2) ceiling fans and one (1) portable fan for cooling. The AC unit in the room is turned off and hence, not listed as part of the amenities. We turned it off because of the high power consumption. Having it on, and listing it as part of the amenities would mean increasing our listing price, yet most of our guests are comfortable with our current pricing. You can pay a small fee of $9 a day should you want to use the AC during your stay.

4. Diani weather is hot and humid with a temperature range of 26°-31°C hence hot water is not included in the amenities.
