What recent reviews say

Most guests praise the pool, spacious grounds, and price, but a detailed recent stay revealed significant gaps: two separate houses share kitchen and pool facilities with no privacy buffer from the owner's property, broken fans and air conditioning, and no cooking pots or filtered water in house 2. Families get comfort and value here, but should expect a basic setup and bring cooking gear if planning to prepare meals.

Recent shift: The most detailed review from 4 months ago (2 stars) documents infrastructure issues (broken fans, weak AC, missing equipment, hygiene concerns) that older positive reviews do not mention. This suggests either deterioration over time or that previous guests accepted basic conditions without close inspection.

Praised for
  • spacious pool area
  • good value for money
  • owner maintains the property
  • family-friendly setup
  • clean (when maintained)
Watch-outs
  • lack of privacy near owner's house

  • missing basics for cooking
  • narrow bathrooms

Strengths

Worth knowing

  • House 2 lacks water dispenser (filtered water only in House 1)
  • No cooking pots, pans, or ladles provided; guests advised to bring own
  • Kettle broken with cockroaches present
  • Toilet described as very narrow
  • Rice cooker, refrigerator, manual washing machine provided in some units

Half of reviewers give top marks for a quiet, affordable stay with a welcoming host; the other half report an old, poorly maintained space with stale sheets and broken appliances that doesn't justify the asking price. Recent experience is notably worse than the record from years past.
