Manja Lodge

Manja Lodge

8/10 Good
"Our room was clean and the staff, especially Jacqueline and Mary and Charity, were super employees. Our TV did not work for the entire week we were there. I asked the young man who worked at the front desk three separate times to replace fix it, but I think he just kept forgetting. The window in our bedroom was broken as was the screen. When we arrived, the shower nozzle was broken. We would have given Manja Lodger Five stars if things were fixed by maintenance. The lady staying in the room next to us had to change to another room because her bathroom screen was broken and she had a major mosquito problem. The staff put her in another room and just put another person in it, who also complained to us about the mosquito problem. The Staff, Food and Grounds are wonderful, but better maintenance of the rooms is sorely needed!"
