Quiet, friendly place to stay with a lovely small restaurant patio. The staff was very helpful. VERY close to the National Archives, easy short walk to town.

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!

Lions led by donkeys.

Time for management to wake up. Pestering for extra payment when all amounts due aready paid. No system for checking condition of rooms, recording and fixing problems... in our case a sink unconnected to the waste, water went straight to the bathroom floor! That said great location with a large plot, the price is low and the staff are welcoming and do all they can to help.

Good place. Safe, friendly, helpful. Short walk from the centre: bring a torch as the last bit of road is uneven, but that's all.

6/10 Good

This was a fairly nice and pretty place to stay within walking distance of much of the town, although you will want to be cautious walking down the hill through some street hawkers and would never do so after dark. The staff was very excellent, friendly, and approachable. My only complaint, which led me to leave a night early, was that the WiFi went out for over a day and the owner was evidently unwilling to fix it and I needed WiFi for my work so I went elsewhere. This was not the staff's fault and they were apologetic and I think they tried to get the owner to buy more internet time but I gather she did not want to. So, similar to a previous review, the staff worked hard under a less than supportive and helpful owner.
