Aeden Villa, Roomstay & Homestay

4.6(72)✓ Google-verified

Aeden Villa works well for large family gatherings, offering spacious grounds with pools and multiple activity areas at reasonable rates. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent; some guests found the villa pristine and the owner warm, while others reported termites, red ants, a broken pool pump, and staff who were abrupt or arrived before checkout. Noise from a neighboring car wash has disrupted stays. Booking coordination with third-party platforms (Agoda, Booking.com) has caused cancellation mix-ups.
