Kidnapped UK Couple Gives Somali Captors’ Accommodations an Abysmal 1.5 Rating

paul-and-rachel-chandler-pic-universal-news-and-sport-219151816Paul and Rachel Chandler, the British couple captured by Somali pirates on their yacht in the Indian Ocean, have written a review of their accommodations aboard their captors’ ship:

Never again

We travel often and were very, very disappointed with our accommodations on our captors’ ship.  Location is good, but we did not feel safe. The staff’s English is limited.  We asked for, and were promised, a non-smokers’ room, but, alas, the previous kidnapped occupant obviously was a smoker. All the beds are twins.  Towels are cheap, cheap, cheap.  There was a hair in the tub, and even the soap was dirty.  No iron; no coffeemaker.  In short, if you want to be pampered, this is not the place.  And when we learned they were demanding $7 million from the British government for us, all we could do was scoff.  No way are we getting amenities worth anywhere near that.
