The room was lovely and spacious. the view from the terrace was amazing, with rice fields stretching out before me. i used the free bicycles a lot to explore the surrounding area. It was a great touch.

The shower head in the outdoor shower needs some attention. It was more like a garden hose. there were not enough mains sockets in the room. the toilet flush was poor too.
