What recent reviews say

When the place works, guests enjoy clean rooms, nature views, and family amenities like pools and playgrounds at reasonable rates. But the owner's customer service is the real problem: reviewers report rudeness, refusal to refund overpaid extension hours even during emergencies, poor pool upkeep, and dismissive responses to reasonable questions. Expectations vary sharply.

Praised for
  • clean and comfortable rooms
  • family-friendly facilities
  • village atmosphere
  • responsive owner (sometimes)
  • affordable pricing
Watch-outs
  • owner lacks courtesy and friendliness
  • pool maintenance issues
  • narrow entrance and bathroom
  • inflexible refund policy
  • attitude problems

Best for: Large families seeking budget-friendly stays with pool and play space, provided owner rapport matters less than price.
Think twice if: Owner is reportedly dismissive and inflexible on refunds; pool maintenance has been neglected; narrow access and confined bathrooms may frustrate some guests.

Worth knowing
