The door frame was falling apart and on the second day when we opened the door, a piece of the door frame fell down on us. The walls beside the bed were covered in fingerprints and dirt/muck from previous people who had slept in the bed and rubbed up against the wall. The first room we were in had a queen bed and a single, a room designed to accommodate 3 people, however we only had one towel, one coffee cup and one spoon. After the door frame fell apart onto us, we asked to change rooms, we were given a twin room with two single beds, the beds were covered in hairs, and in our second room we only had ONE BLANKET. I’m not sure who the housekeeping team are here, but they really need to use some common sense so that a room made up to fit 3 people don’t have to share one coffee cup and one towel!!! ##### Eva Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yusuf Aug 21, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Its like sleeping in a garage shed ##### Yusuf Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Alex Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We had two rooms at this property.

As it turned out, the facility was closed down due to lack of staff and we were not informed of this. We then had to find alternative accommodation. All efforts to get a refund from either Boab Inn or Expedia have to date been unsuccessful. The Boab Inn has since contacted us and we have been told that the refund has to come via Expedia as the original booking was made through them. No assistance has been offered from Boab Inn. ##### Desmond Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022
