George C. ★★★★★ : Zaytun hotel is a world of it's own, the top notch services are unmatched. The hospitality, customer service, the food, to mention but a few. Every activity is properly executed to deliver a great feel at home experience. The value of services delivered was worth every dime I spent, I enjoys my stay and wouldn't hesitate to recreate the beautiful memory again if I have the opportunity.

HAJIYA TV ★★★★★ : R & K is the most terrible place one can ever visit in Kano State Nigeria. The staff are extremely rude, especially the ladies at the front desk.........it's one place I pray never to be again, not even in my dreams!
Abdulrahman Z. ★★★★★ : Its is in a good location, but they have a rude staff at the reception with terrible sense of humour. Their toilet very irritating. I had to cancel my booking to go for a better choice. I will advise you go for other options until above issues are addressed.

Oluwayomi O. ★★★★★ : Flying United Nigeria from Kano (KAN) to Lagos (LOS) offers a reliable, mid-range experience. Operating primarily with the Embraer ERJ-145, the flight features a 1-2 seating layout, meaning no middle seats—perfect for solo travelers or window lovers. While the cabin crew is frequently praised for their warm hospitality and professional service, the smaller aircraft means overhead bin space is tight for large carry-ons. Punctuality remains the main hurdle; though generally decent, recent data shows occasional delays. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly, comfortable choice if you prioritize personal space and don’t mind the potential for a slight schedule shift.
Ali B. ★★★★★ : Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport is the first and the oldest Airport in Nigeria, with operations starting in 1936. The airport has an international and a domestic terminal. It has about fourteen (14) airlines for domestic and international passengers and four (4) cargo airlines with international operations. The international flights carters for Laser Hajj Muslims Pilgrimage. A recently renovated Airport with abundant free parking space well secured with security personnel.

Abdurrahman ★★★★★ : A well recognised vegetable market in Kano. It is the only market in Kano that opens at very early hours of the day. The prices and the products are good.
Fateemah B ★★★★★ : You can get literally everything here. Exotic spices/veggies/fruits, grocery, fresh produce, seasonal fruits, etc. If they don't have it, then its not available in the whole of kano. However, a lot of the vendors have issues. They won't hesitate to take advantage of clueless customers.
