Selma and Hanif are amazing. They were very hospitable, kind and helpful. We had a wonderful stay at their house and felt as comfortable as our own. Everything was always very clean and tidy and we really enjoyed their friendly behavior. And we hope to see them again.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
