The hosts weren't friendly, they were almost family. The drinks were cold, the food delicious and the rooms clean and big. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Two thumbs up for Casa Carla.

They made sure I had nothing left to be desired from my four week stay there. Jan and Carla, the host, a Belgian couple who has lived there for over nine years now, gave... More

You know that lovely warm feeling you get when someone does something really nice for you. That's how I felt when the owner of Casa Carla offered me the use of his spare mobile after mine had been been destroyed by a passenger on the flight over ramming his hand baggage into the overhead locker while the cabin crew looked...

Atmospheric is the politest description one might use to describe the very odd situation at this soulless guest house operated by a Belgian couple. The rooms are small by European standards, tiny and low ceilinged by African standards. the bathroom is not separated from the bedroom in any way so unless you have voyeuristic tendencies or a fascination for the...

A small family run establishment where Carla and Jan treat you as a member of their family and do their utmost to ensure you have an enjoyable and pleasant stay. A WINNING FORMULA Clean and tidy rooms with all facilities. Highly recommended for a safe and secure holiday base. We will be returning later this year.

Casa Carla is a fantastic place to stay. There is a pool to cool off in and the rooms are very clean, safe and secure. Lodging is very affordable even with food. The CASA is out of the heavy tourist areas yet you are only a short taxi ride from the night life activities, or a nice walk to the... More
