Jo Homestay

Location was amazing- short walk to beach and restaurants. Lovely staff, really helpful and nice people.

The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The AC worked well too. The staff were friendly and kind, especially when my husband was unwell. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and our surf school (Ari's) The breakfast was great and there was a lot of choice on the menu (we only had it once as we had early surf lessons) It was a short walk into town to shops and restaurants. The pool was lovely. It was a really relaxing stay at a budget cost, with a pool and great location!

The walk to the beach isn't along a path so we had to take care on the road especially at night (take torches so you are seen) I requested a change of dates a few weeks before as we were going to be arriving a day later. This request was never accepted so I ended up having to pay for the day before we got there which is frustrating. I've emailed Booking.com customer service and opened a dispute but not heard back yet. If you need to change dates just cancel and book again (I didn't want to risk losing the room but should have done this!)

Close to the beach

Overpriced, extremely dirty, staff don't speak English, very slow service, had to wait 45 minutes until they started to prepare my breakfast, they just simply forgot.

The room was clean and comfortable And the girls who were sweeping the paths were delightful even though they struggled with the language.

Not toilet paper or drinking water in rooms . Zero welcome no reception no one around the place looked empty… and closed. We later found out it was between ownership hence chairs stacked up fridge empty. We only ones there for two days. We should have been told before arrival through booking.com. Poor girls could find key to kitchen so no breakfast.

The place is very close to the beach- a couple of minutes walk. The breakfast was ok but it would have been nice to have some fresh fruit with it. Good Aircon in the rooms and it was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good WiFi. Lovely big pool.

No hot showers but we did know that before we arrived and we could boil some water in the room and use the bucket. Beds were not great - too hard or lumpy. Just a few finer details that could make it better such as a bench in the bathroom to put clothes onto, extra electrical sockets or an extension for charging devices, lamps next to the beds, a small fridge, a typed out list of procedures eg wifi passcode, breakfast times etc (because the helpers don’t speak any English).

We took a grab from the airport to homestay

Staff could not speak English Breakfast

The pool is very nice, and the location is super close to the beach which is nice.

The bathroom was dirty and the gutter wasn’t draining well, also the door to the bathroom was made of tin and made a lot of noise when opening and closing. The water shut off a few times which was very inconvenient. And the staff was not helpful when asking questions, they just said “No English” instead of looking for the manager who was the only one that spoke English. Overall it’s not worth it for this price.

It was close to the beach, this was the only positive thing about this place.

None of the staff spoke a word of English. No hot water. No Wifi. Gaps in all door and windows for the bugs to come in. No fridge. It was dirty. No soap or shampoo. They didn't have breakfast for us and after half an hour of asking, one of the ladies found some eggs in the fridge and cooked us an omelet. This place is very expensive for what you get. Do not recommend at all.
