Samba was the friendliest and most accommodating host ever! We hadn't properly booked and he did his best to find a solution and managed! The rooms were great, there was Wi-Fi and hot water! He helped us get cash, change money and get SIM cards despite our late arrival! Can't recommend enough!

We stayed at Samba’s place at both the beginning and the end of our trip to Mauritania, and it was a great experience. Samba met us at the airport, helped us exchange money, gave us very useful advice, and even helped us get on the bus the next day.
The hotel itself was very comfortable: you can eat on the rooftop with a nice view, the food was delicious, there was a hot shower, and everything was clean. Communication with Samba was a real pleasure, he did everything possible to make us feel comfortable and welcome.
Thank you very much, Samba! Highly recommended.
