    Cons -

    • When we arrived care taker was drunk and talking nonsense. Time to time saying different charges for the room he cannot remember anything. At least we cannot have a bed tea coz caretaker saying that there's no milk powder, sugar or tea and asking money to bring those items. We were stayed at a A/C room but A/C was not working. It's a good place which was not maintained well. Caretaker is staying without a shirt or t-shirt only with a sarong very unprofessional in front of ladies.
    • The room was not clean and it was full of mosquitoes. Although we had a mosquito net it had holes in it
    • Entrance & common areas and entrance was messyStaff not professional to hanlde basic tourists (need a basic training)

    bad

    Bad reception. Room not ready at 6 pm. Did not have the rooms booked for. Loud sound outside pass 1 am.

    8VazulPosted on: 1-17-2024

    Right on the beach, street food just in 50 m. The owner can rent also bikes for a good price.

    The bed was a little short for me (I am 180cm).

    8StefanPosted on: 3-26-2023

    - value for money excellent- directly at the sea- payed 1$ more and we could have the room with the balcony at the 1st floor- hot shower, surprisingly clean and large room with 2 double beds

    3DuminduPosted on: 2-23-2023

    Poor

    If you make a reservation through booking.com, they won't hold it for you. Even though we reserved three rooms, the hotel only had two rooms available when we arrived. They didn't even inform us beforehand. Another issue is that calling them on the phone is difficult. Even when you call, they never pick up.

    The location is awesome, staff is good. But room need some modification and ac need to be added

    Lighting in the room

    7MuvinduPosted on: 3-25-2022

    Located near the sea/beach. Check-in and check-out times were negotiable. During a power cut, the power was restored with a diesel power generator.

    The room that was given to us first had a broken table and no working ceiling fan. Towels, toilet papers, and bathing soaps were not supplied. Had no mosquito nets either. No free Wi-Fi was given. Only one power socket was available, but not matched with our adapters. Breakfast was not supplied and a related partially refundable amount of money was not refunded. No bills were given, all were done on word of mouth. Then we were transferred to another room, with a working ceiling fan, bathing soap, mosquito net, and 4 power outlets.
