Response from the owner The Management at Milimani Cottages appreciates feedback from its customers so that it can always improve its services. Tanzania’s power supply has periods of uncertainty and it is unfortunate that these guests arrived at such a time. Milimani Cottages being a budget accommodation, has addressed the power shortages by supplying independent power from a generator in the evenings between 7pm – 10pm to allow its guests to settle for the night with little inconvenience, and this was also the case during the stay of these guests. The Management went over and above this by providing electricity during the day when there was no power for one hour as per the request of the guests. It has always been our policy to ensure that our guests are well settled and in this case we regret that these guests had a negative experience which was contributed by reasons beyond our control.
