rooms & bathrooms are clean. enough space. reasonable price.

The lighting levels both inside and outside the rooms were inadequate at night. No bathroom heaters were provided, and the room heater was not working from midnight until the morning.

"Nice and cozy, value for money"

9.0

Value for money, got a good deal likely because of the low season. Room was big and clean, the bathroom was huge and its space looks very cozy like a separate room. Kitchen is equipped with basic amenities.

One of the lights in the bathroom was faulty and the staff told us that he already notified the person in charge to fix it but they did not so the bathroom was really dim with only one light working in a big bathroom.
