Poor =2
Did not achieve my objective of a breakaway. The neighbourhood is very noisy until into the late hours of the night due to religious formations closeby. I could not sleep at that place due to the noise and the house keeper asked me out before my checkout time and had to wait with my baggage at reception for checkout and transport which l had already arranged for 11h00 based on my checkout time confirmed with reception beforehand.The breakfast was unattended I my first experience was not great hence I never went back for the remainder of my stay. My rating = 2/5

Hussein, Cairo

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Acceptable when on a budget
Poor internet service and Service support and the Hot water from the shower comes with an intolerable smell. I had to use cold. Not the cleanest hotel and room but completely livable. The reception staff is quite good but that is the only staff that is good. Multiple technical failures on a daily basis (Ex: Elevator, Internet...etc.)

Tufa, New York

Liked: Cleanliness
Very convenient if you have business in the area
The hotel is located outside the city in a complex with different offices. It is the most convenient if you have business in that complex, or surrounding area, and want to avoid the city's horrible traffic. That was the case for me. I stayed there several times because of the convenience. Otherwise the hotel is just average. The rooms are big(it is a hotel apartment)and clean enough. No good restaurants in the area. The hotel's restaurant is good. The hotel has gym and a very small swimming pool at the top(13th floor). I always choose the top floors for nice view.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Its main appeal is that it's near UDSM.
Everything about it is a bit shabby looking; the dining room is slow with not very interesting menu; the decor is, well, not really decor. Not terrible, fine in a pinch.

TERRIBLE! awful food in the restaurant. Internet cost 10 usd per 24 hrs but I can hardly use it, and the hotel refuse to refund (because it is actually connected with 10 kb/ s download rate......)

Nice hotel comfortable rooms
The rooms are spacious and clean,breakfast was good.There are a few stores in the plaza where the hotel is located. The hotel was about 500m to the bus station so it is convenient if you plan a trip by bus. It is a bit far from the center and you need a cab to go to the ferry terminal. It is not a cheap hotel but the proximity to the bus terminal was why I chose to stay there for one night.

I am still in the Blue Pearl hotel. Wanted to extend my stay via your site but it says no rooms. There are plenty of empty rooms at this particular moment.

Blue Pearl Hotel, Dar Es Salaam
I would readily recommend this hotel in the outskirts of Dar Es Salaam in a quiet area of town. The complex is large, the infinity pool on the roof top wonderful, the staff courteous. Two draw backs: 1) the restaurant really battled flies, especially with the morning buffet; though the staff were trying hard to keep things under control; 2) a great facility like this should not nickel and dime you with internet! Not only was it not included, the connection was minimal. I spent much time in the large lobby connecting through Skype because I was unable to do so from the 11th floor. Fix these two problem areas and the place would be great.

Un patron incompétent
Nous avions une réservation pour 2 chambres : 4 adultes, toutes réservées sous un seul nom, pour la nuit d'arrivée en Tanzanie et la nuit du départ. Ils n'ont pas vu les deux numéros de réservation et les deux numéros de carte débités ! Au retour la 2è nuit, ils nous ont dit que si nous voulions les chambres, il fallait les payer, notre crédit dans cet hôtel étant épuisé la 1ère nuit. Toute l'aprèm au tel, à essayer de débloquer l'histoire, 240€ de note de tel mobile ! C'est seulement le soir, après dîner vers 22h, avec le personnel de nuit que JE me suis aperçu qu'ils n'avaient pas tout imprimé, et ne ne travaille pas dans l'hotellerie ! Le patron ne s'est ni déplacé, ni excusé de toute cette journée de galère.... Plus jamais ça ! C'est un boss incompétent, qui a un égo surdimensionné. Boycott de cet hôtel jusqu'à un éventuel changement de patron.
