Shivo Guest House is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay. Everything was just perfect — the room was spotless, the breakfast was delicious, and the hotel’s transfer service made our trip so much easier. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend it!

Great Hotel. very clean and very helpful owner. We stayed there only a few hours cause our flight was moved and we landed earlier than expected and needed a bed to sleep for some hours.Check in in the middle of the night was no problem and was very well organized thru WhatsApp.The room was VERY clean and they have a very modern and very clean bathroom.I can highly recommend the hotel.

The dorm was very clean, the bed comfortable and the room looked nice. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. I also liked the option of having breakfast in the Shoki Shoki Guest House close by. Breakfast there was fantastic! The dorm I stayed in had two big fans and an AC. Also the location right in the old part of Stonetown was great.
