Quirky Yet Cozy Bedroom
While the decoration was slightly unusual with portraits featuring Bashar Assad, it added to the eccentric character of the bedroom. I found the ambiance quite interesting!

My stay at Malindi Boutique in Zanzibar was overall enjoyable, though there were a few minor bumps along the way. The freshly baked bread at breakfast was a delightful highlight, while the laundry services could definitely use some improvement. The charming location added to the experience, making the little inconveniences easier to overlook.
