    Noisy doors, our bed preference was not met, super difficult to find the location, as there is no specific address in booking.com.

    Nice, new, and modern facilities, close to the sea, public parking lot nearby, administered by the same people as Hotel Carrubba, so staff is available all the time.

    It wasn’t immediately clear where to check in and parking was a little tricky as it was summer

    Beautiful seafront location, very friendly helpful staff, comfortable beds

    The rooms on the first floor don’t really have windows. The check-in was 4pm and check-out at 11am which wasn’t great especially as the cleaning requirements were very very limited. Not a lot of restaurants directly around.

    Stayed here for a night before leaving Montenegro. Cute guesthouse with shared bathroom and kitchen. Right on the coast and nice little swimming area near by. Had meals at the hotel next door who own the guesthouse.

    The other occupants were very noisey and slamming doors throughout the night so a poor night sleep.

    The room was generally lovely

    Nothing

    We upgraded to the Guesthouse Zebra from the Giraffe so we could have a private bathroom in the room. This building looks brand new and is located one street back (2 minute walk) from the water and the Carrubba Hotel where you check in, have meals and drinks and swim. The hotel provides a delicious breakfast. The staff were fabulous, friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Check in is very easy and communication prior to arrival was great. The accommodation very relaxing and peaceful and just 20 minutes walk from Porto Montenegro. We loved our stay.

    Excellent location, great staff, and the restaurant attached to it was excellent. Beautifully placed right next to the water. I even checked in a little late but they didn't mind. The guesthouse was completely new, not just refurbished, and I'd happily stay again

    I searched for a hotel using filters on Booking, and based on the photos, it appeared to be a nice sea-view hotel room. However, the room I encountered upon arrival did not match what was shown on Booking. It was more like a guesthouse or an apartment-style place. There was a shared kitchen, no small fridge in the rooms, and the room didn’t have a private bathroom. It wasn’t sea-view as advertised. The bathroom was shared and not clean. The rooms were not cleaned daily. However, the staff were friendly and helpful.

    They don't have a kitchen, you share a bathroom with the workers who work in the restaurant. The prices are very high for a hostel, I don't know where they got the right to give it 4 stars. Frankly HORRIBLE. They don't deserve a single star

    The location of the hotel is perfect however there were some things which were quite below average. The room was a nice size but not enough storage space for two people, there was not enough place to hang clothes and store folded clothes. Also for creams, body skin care there was nothing to put it on. Coming back from the beach there is nowhere to hang wet clothes/swimsuits. Bathroom was a bit of a disaster, the italian shower is not well built and water spills everywhere and the bathroom is quite small so everything gets soaked. The bathroom air filter didn't work so was always stuffy and damp. Supposedly, the shared areas get cleaned daily, but the bathroom must have been cleaned only twice in a week which was quite disappointing as it is shared and quite unhygenic. The beds are extremely soft, if you have back problems please avoid. Waited about 40 minutes to get a coffee one morning and often we had to grab the waiters attentions, mind there are not many seatings. We paid in cash for one of our excursions and the manager forgot to add it in the computer/bill, so at the check out they couldn't find our payment. The Giraffe Guesthouse is a subcategory of the Carruba hotel and the reception is shared. The reception is ok, but not great, would have expected better from a 4 stay hotel- we spent a day at the Hyatt Hotel spa and the reception was excellent, spoke english well and helped us understand where the nice restaurants were and places to go see, organized a taxi etc etc, we would have expected the same from the Carruba Hotel. The Giraffe guesthouse is comparable to a "nice" hostel, they should advertise it as such. We would have gladly paid more for a better hotel which actual services.

    The location of the hotel is perfect, next to the beach and you can walk 2 minutes and jump in the water. There are a few restaurants and cafés nearby.

    Giraffe is close to Punto Crudo (restaurant) and located in a local neighbourhood. You can walk to Porto Montenegro but I like this area better. It is a great house, with perfect rooms, a clean bathroom and a large kitchen.
