edible breakfastdifficult locationstained shower curtain

the breakfast was ok, nothing to rave about, but definitely edible.

The location was a nightmare to reach. Every tuk-tuk driver acted like they were climbing everest. the room itself was a bit grim, and the shower curtain had some questionable stains. i suspect the cleaning crew took the day off.

mixed feelings about THE stay

musty odorslow drain

the room was nice initially. i noticed the bathroom lacked proper ventilation. a musty odor lingered, and the shower drain was very slow. this caused water to pool during showers, a little inconvenient.

The owners were SOOO friendly and cute. They helped us with our travel plans and gave us great advice for local spots to visit. It was a great help. The room i stayed in was beautiful and the surroundings were fine.

The location was a little difficult to reach. I had to rely on tuk-tuks. Drinking glasses in the room WERE NOT clean.
