Edaala Comfort is a real home, Jane and Ben are taking care of every detail and make you to feel in a continuous warm hug. They keep every single detail in the room, which is really amazing, the breakfast, every corner of the place… I asked them them to have a romantic detail in the room for my partner and when we arrived and Ben shown us our room I felt in love. They prepared a bath with rose petals, the bed was also super romantic. The place is really comfortable, everything is super clean, in order, the design is beautiful, the bed takes you to sleep like a baby, the quality of the furniture, the smells, the sound of a small waterfall… We had a romantic and delicious dinner with Jane’s smile every second (: and the breakfast is handmade, fruits, pancakes, eggs, tea, milk, coffee, juice, bread, cereals… You feel like part of their family. Without any doubt, I’ll come back soon. I will always recommend that place plenty of humanity and sweetness.

Had an upgrade of room Convenient for walking to Karen Hub and using Uber to see the local sights. Good breakfast and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Suzanne also came up with a number of ideas for things to do and how to do them without our own car or driver. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are returning for the last night of our holiday!!

Hob House was charming. The house itself is tastefully decorated with beautiful African art. Our room was very clean. Also the ensuite bathroom which had excellent water pressure and.consistent hot water. There was a balcony off our room. It was shared with the adjacent room but we had it to ourselves and it overlooked the garden. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of room. The English and Lebanese breakfasts were both delicious as were the Lebanese suppers. The waiters were able to explain the various dishes and the service was excellent. We were able to bring our own wine to the table and there was no corking fee. The gardens were lovely. A number of different brightly coloured trees were in bloom and there were many exotic flowers. Lots of spots to sit and enjoy the garden, observe the various bird and also smoothies, tea and cafe mocha. Luckily there was little humidity, sunny skies and soft breezes. The staff was friendly and helpful. The business manager Sheila promptly responded to emails before our arrival, advised us we could have a better room than the one we had booked, at the same price. And arranged for Charles to pick us up at the airport and to return us to the airport. This was a good idea as it was dark on both occasions and Hob House is on a back road on the western edge of the city and could be difficult for some drivers to find. We were able to leave our large suitcases at HH while we enjoyed a six day safari. When we arrived back on our last day to pick up our luggage and have a final supper before a late night flight Sheila provided us with a ground floor room with a bed and a bathroom with a shower to rest, freshen up and organize ourselves for the trip home. What more can I say. Fantastic experience in every way.

Very friendly host. Breakfast with daily changing fresh fruits, toast and eggs. Clean room. Quiet neighbourhood a bit off the city center. Good WiFi, had one longer blackout but this seems unusual.
