Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was quite big as well as the bathroom..and the bed is comfy..
Negative: Firstly theres no private balconies as they have posted.. also they dont place any amenities/ towels , even soap 🧼.. and no hot water at all.. I have booked for 2 nights including the breakfast, but unfortunately on the first day morning we were waiting until 8:30 for the breakfast and the breakfast wasn’t prepared.. however after checking with the owner, we were been told that if you wants to have breakfast you have to get your breakfast from somewhere outside.. however once we showed our booking, the owner woke up and told us that he will prepare the food for us, which he served red rice/ dhal/ fish curry which was probably made previous day.
Summary: Recommendable but not for locals and some nationalities
