It's a very good value for your money hotel. The people are very friendly and helpfull. Nice breakfast even if you leave very early in the morning they will offer you breakfast. Don't expect a 4star hotel for that price. But the rooms are clean and fine (especially the ones near the beach are lovely). Just the bathrooms need a... More

This wonderful place offers excellent value for money. The staff offers great hospitality. Good food and drinks are available at any time of the day. Even when you have to check out very early the chef prepares a complete breakfast. We will come back here for sure! We couldn't find any reason to complain.

This hotel is simple. When we arrived, our credit card for the booking had a problem, so we where not in the room we expected (we booked a 2 storeys banda). Our first room was really unconfortable (small and with a lot of ants), the second was better, and for the third night, we were in the bandas (which was... More

Located on the tidal beach front. Staff nice enough. Pillows covered in mildew and mould. I GUESS it was otherwise clean and despite booking the two storey room it was very airless in January. The manager DID go and buy us some fans when we asked - but one of the fans did not work. The shower never worked. We... More

When you store food in an open banda it happens sometimes that animals are attracted by this and visiting you. So don´t store food there. The showerhead was blocked with calcium. 10 minutes after you told us that the shower has few water the showerhead was changed. Next time inform us soon and not when you check out. More

When we arrived at Pakachi, we were put into a fairly spacious but not very attractive room with a view of the washing lines and backyard. I was quite upset because the photos on the booking website showed sea views and the double story bandas. I complained to the Managers about this, and they actually managed to arrange a swop... More

We have pictures from all our rooms on our website but you booked a standard double room. That´s why you get this room. You can close the open front wall from the 2story banda when it is too cold or raining. Why you didn´t close? More

First the positives: nicely located, mostly friendly staff, good breakfast+meals, free wireless internet. Enough of that. - The huts are absolutely basic and insect/mice-infested. It rained into our bedrooms on the 3rd night, we had to reshuffle all the furniture to make sure we stayed dry. No apology from management. Mice, ants and cockroaches fought over our food every night.... More

Correct, our bungalows are simple equipped but with everything you need (Specially your room also has a kichenettte) like described on our homepage but they are definetivly not! insect infested. The insects are coming when you attract them like you did with storing amounts of food open in the room. So it is quite normal that you attract animals. Even... More

I stayed for three nights at Pakachi and it's great if you just want a laid-back kind of place to read your book, walk on the beach or swim. It's not a 5-star hotel by any means but everything is satisfactory. I think the rooms could be cheaper because it is all so basic, but other than that the staff... More

My overall impression: Everything is just ok and no more. The garden together with the restaurant look very nice. But overall the quality is that of a budget hotel with the price (60 dollar per night for basic room in high season) of a midrange hotel. Within the area, it is nicely located between Jambiani and Paje. The area is... More

Your remarks for the overall impression are correct!. We are a 2 star hotel and not more. I don´t want unsatisdied guest and so i think it is good to know this and not to expect a 4 or 5 star hotel for the price of a 2 star hotel.

The hotel staff make any stay at Pakachi wonderful. The accommodation is basic beach huts but what more do you need when the weather is warm. The hotel food is the best in the area and any seafood not available when mentioned to the staff, was brought in for us the next evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pakachi... More
