I stayed at this place twice. The first time (April 8, 2021), I was with a group of other tourists - 4 guys and 2 girls - and nothing happened.
The second time (April 12, 2021) I was alone because I had to do my covid test in Stone Town. That's when the harrasment occurred. The man at the front desk (with one fake eye), touched me inappropriately, putting his hands on my legs and waist. He was making sexual remarks like drinking beer and spending the night together.
At one point, I was talking to another guest and he just stood there staring at us for a very long time. 30 min later, a mouse is in my room which I believe he put there since my room was on the 3 floor, and no food was there. He made me so uncomfortable that I didn't leave my room for the rest of the day and checked out in the morning.
I mentioned this to my tour guide afterwards and was advised that he has a very bad reputation here in Stone Town and has done this before. And my taxi driver said "he is a very bad man". I wish someone would have told me that sooner.
If you are a woman, especially if you have children do not book there. There is a reason why this place is so cheap. It's better to pay for your peace.
He took advantage of the fact that I was alone because he did not behave in this manner when I was with 4 other guys. hope that he sees this message and learn how to treat people with respect.
