What recent reviews say

A large terrace house suitable for student groups and families on a tight budget, though reviewers note aging facilities and connectivity issues. The owner is welcoming and the space sleeps 10-12 comfortably, but air conditioning, wifi, and bedding quality are inconsistent.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Older guests consistently praise clean rooms, low prices, and the owner Mr. Athiong's helpfulness, plus the location near hospitals and markets. However, recent years have brought friction: management has posted notices saying homestays are not permitted under building rules, residents have complained, and a discriminatory sign targeting Indonesians appeared.
