We were a little worried because we had trouble checking in on the day we arrived. The owner only spoke French, and we wished they could speak at least a little English.
We stayed for four days, and the room was never cleaned. We asked for towels to be changed daily, but they only changed them once.
We stayed in a room on the second floor, and we had to carry our suitcases up ourselves. Because of the language barrier, we ended up solving all the problems and gathering information ourselves.
The fourth photo is of a botakri café in the medina. Be careful! We didn't know that all the shops in the medina close after 5 pm during the off-season. The café in the fourth photo was the only one open, so we went in hoping to get a light meal. There was no English menu, and the only French words we could read were pizza and coffee. The pizza was 15d and the coffee was 3.5d. I ordered a glass of juice for 6d, so the total should have been 24.5 (1318 yen), but when I paid, they demanded 56d (3012 yen). Something felt wrong, so I asked them to bring the menu again. The staff explained that what we ordered wasn't on the menu and had been bought from outside. At that moment, I was surrounded by men from the restaurant, and the atmosphere was a bit intimidating, so I quickly paid and left.
The next day, I ordered the same thing from the pizza place that had bought it for us, and it cost 7.5d (404 yen) plus a glass of juice for 2d (108 yen).
There are plenty of good people out there, so please be careful with taxis and restaurants.
