We were very surprised at the quality of the Summerland Hotel. It's a little simple inside, but very welcoming, and the central courtyard is full of greenery which is a change from the concrete and rubble found in the surrounding town. We had an double room which was just a little bigger than the bed, but the bed was very... More

After a week of camping is was so wonderful to check in here and have a hot shower and clean sheets! It is very clean, the staff is ultra friendly, and really the only nice place in town. I did think the way they charged was weird. One room for one person is $60, the same room for two people... More

My husband and I were fortunate enough to visit the very special island of Socotra for 3 short days back in November of 2012 and stayed at the Summerland Hotel. Socotra is very beautiful, untouched and very sparsely populated, so many visitors choose to camp throughout the island. Therefore, there are only 3 hotels in Hadibo, Socotra's dusty capitol. If...

I found the hotel a calm and refreshing relief from the town of Hadibo, which has a terrible amount of poverty. The hotel and it's staff were a breath of fresh air, they... More

Designed by an American this property is everything all the other hotels on the island are not. A large inter-courtyard is a beautiful place to relax, unwind and cool down after a long day of exploring. They have WiFi on the upper patio and this is a great place to enjoy the evening breezes. This hotel is well maintained and... More

The hotel is an incongruous oasis of air-conditioned comfort and a welcome respite from the heat and dust of the rather ramshackle town that is Hadiboh. The rooms are not large but are clean, have hot & cold running water, air-conditioning and are clean. Western style breakfast was available with toast, cereal, coffee, eggs etc. with jams, Nutella and the... More

The pros: - This hotel (building) is new, around two years old (2008 I think). - The room is great, remember, you are in Yemen, the standards are different, but by all means, the room is clean, the linens smell of soap, and there is running water, so there is nothing more you can ask for. - The staff is...
