錫瓦的公寓

Shiam Peng 新加坡

I was originally supposed to only stay one night at Paloma Lodge from 6 Nov to 7 Nov, but because I enjoyed my stay here so much, I decided to extend for 4 more nights, only checking out on 10 Nov instead. Paloma Lodge is very well located, with only about 5 mins’ walk away from Siwan town centre where all the restaurants, cafés and shops are located. Apart from that, it’s only a stone’s throw away from a fresh water spring, where it’s perfect for an early morning or mid-afternoon swim. The host, Captain Nair, is super kind, warm and hospitable! He made me feel very welcomed and because I was a solo female traveller, he would check on me when I’m out later in the evening. In fact, he invited me to dinners at the lodge with lovely meals, either prepared by the good Captain himself, or his lovely housekeeper, Safie! The lodge is very tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The one-room apartment that I stayed in was very cosy and was sufficiently equipped with kitchen appliances, such as; electric kettle, toaster oven and a fridge. I will definitely stay at Paloma Lodge again, when I come back to Siwa!! It was a very enjoyable and cosy homestay which felt like you are with family. A home away from home.

非常棒！独享一整栋小楼和五百平大花园，有厨具和齐全的洗漱用品，还有一只可爱的狗狗。 管家Cola是我们遇到过最善良最尽职的人，在我们到达锡瓦前就提前联系并且提早在车站等候我们，将我们送到房间里，仔细地介绍所有设施设备，免费开突突车送我们去镇中心买车票和水果，并且始终等候我们，确保我们的安全。 第二天他带我们去了盐湖和温泉，并且游览锡瓦城，每到一个地方都在旁边等候并且保护我们的行李。晚上在沙漠观看日落，给我们带了好喝的茶和坐垫，尽心尽力的给我们拍摄照片和视频。最后因为我们不小心在沙漠遗失了手机，也错过了会开罗的go bus，他帮助我们找了两个小时直到天黑。 并且最后离开时送我们到车站，联系人帮助我们买票，确保我们安全上车后再离开。当我们凌晨到达亚历山大时，仍然在发消息确认我们的安全。 邀请所有人来到锡瓦入住这里，我们度过了非常美好的时光，如果有机会一定会再回来多住几天，感谢锡瓦！感谢Cola！

The reception here does not speak English, but that did not matter and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and Siwa. On our last day, our long-distance bus departed at night. So we tentatively decided that we couldn't do a normal check-out, for example, leave our luggage at the hotel and roam the streets in the heat until the bus time. So we asked for a late check-out, which we normally don't do. However, I was not charged any additional fee. I think this is a feeling of respect and kindness for travellers. To everyone reading this text, if you are also in such a situation, please do not abuse that feeling and pay the hotel properly as a gesture of goodwill(baksheesh). It is important to be taken care of the traveller and at the same time we had to give joyfully, i guess. And if you will come to Siwa, please stay at this hotel. It is a safe accomodation where you can feel the real warmth of the Berber people and there is no sense of fraud. Best of all, it is close to the town centre! And a little further in, you can get a glimpse into the life of the Siwa people! Balcony is very large! Super landscape!!!
