COVID 19 protocol: We’re committed to an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed in partnership with experts in health and hospitality. Here’s what we’ve done to clean and sanitize the space: We use cleaners and disinfectants, approved by global health agencies. We cleaned, mopped and/or dusted before sanitizing. All high-touch surfaces have been sanitized, down to the doorknob. Each room was cleaned using extensive cleaning checklists. We provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay if you want to. On top of that: We do have a smart lock with a keypad or access via the Danalock app on your smartphone We’ll practice social distancing with guests, and encourage you to do the same. In stead of handshakes or hugging, we’ll consider alternative no-contact greetings. We have a 12 hour period between rentals. This waiting period is for your protection and helps to ventilate the room, to limit your exposure to aerosolized virus droplets that may be in the room. So as you can see we took all precautions to make sure your stay at the African Lily is Covid 19 proof and as enjoyable as it can be. Registration number 0363 6B9F 9BCB E4E8 32D3
