A great resort .. from Houston, Texas visiting My fiance in Da es salaam and spent good 4 nights at Giraffe Beach Hotel. Staffs are great and food was great and good breakfast. Will surely spread the words when I get back to USA. Da es salaam has great spot like this for anyone travelling to TZ. Love everything about the beach hotel. Wonderful hospitality.

Great beach hotel
Great beach hotel with beautiful garden. Beds are amazingly comfortable. Service really good and efficient.Safe has been fixed within couple of minutes. We had a dinner in the restaurant and food was very good. Breakfast could have with a bit more options but was ok.Coffee very tasty and that was the most important to me. Hotel is on the beach which is been taken care of but when you step a couple of meters away the beach is full of rubbish.But I understand it is a common problem in that part of the world,and hotel manager can not do anything about it. Generally experience was really great,good value for money. Thanks very much Giraffe Beach Hotel.

Response from sharon on Sep 28, 2022
Dear Ruth,We appreciate you leaving a favorable review. We carefully looked into your observations regarding the cleanliness of the room, and the following is what we discovered:You did not provide any comments to reception on the room's cleanliness either after check-in or check-out. Please be informed that every day our housekeeping, maintenance, and Front office colleagues thoroughly inspect all arriving rooms to make sure the air conditioning, amenities, bed making, toilet, etc. are clean and in working order. This procedure is mandatory for all our guest arrival and vacant rooms. You did not indicate this in the Room cleanliness check box or comments on the manual feedback form that you filled out when you checked out on September 20. All of our rooms have open closets with enough hooks for garment storage. If this was not sufficient, you could have informed our Reception and they would have booked a Suite room which has more clothing storage space. We hope that we were able to make your views clear. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a good day and a good week
