What recent reviews say
Most guests find decent value and quiet comfort in spacious rooms within walking distance of Selama's town centre, praising staff warmth and the peaceful setting. However, recurring complaints about dust, old mattresses, worn decor, and maintenance gaps (leaking pipes, sharp objects in headboards, slow air conditioning) signal that upkeep hasn't kept pace with rates, leaving some feeling the asking price outweighs what they receive.
Recent shift: Maintenance concerns escalated in the last three months; one month ago a guest noted dust, broken fixtures, and overpricing concerns; more recent reviews (past month) remain mixed but some praise the value and quiet setting despite age.

Reviewers consistently praise the clean rooms, functional kitchen, and air conditioning in main bedrooms. One drawback: the guest room has no AC, which may matter for extended stays or warm months.
