Happy Devi Guesthouse

The pool was refreshing. Location was fine.

Impossible to stay in the room ( room n°2) the smell was horrible, extremely moldy. All my clothes smell bad now and I ended up staying with a friend since I couldn't handle the smell after a first bad night of sleep. AC was not working ( even though it was On) weak air coming out of it and the fan didn't help with refreshing the room. Room needs mold treatment and good ventilation before being rented again! Curtains were full of mold stains as well anf need a proper wash.

It was really nice and clean. They also had good steady Wi-Fi which was important for me. They also come and clean your room each day which I'd really nice as well. The staff are really friendly. Also easy to get around by bike or walk. Also laundry service right near entrance of the road.

The aircon wasn't really working and kept turning on and off. Also we kept having issues with the shower drain. They tried fixing it but the shower drained better but still not great honestly. It was fine dealing with while we stayed but yeah that was issue.

Moldy, stay away

I wish I could say I liked something, but unfortunately, it was the WORST stay I've ever had - and I've been traveling for over 7 years, mostly in Asia! (and we unfortunately booked for almost a month...) I hate to write such a bad review, but if my review can stop just one person from booking here and wasting so much money, then it is worth it. We have often booked through Booking and have only had one similarly bad case. Both times Booking unfortunately didn't help us and said there was nothing they could do. But with a rating of 8+, we at least expect mold-free rooms... So how the ratings come about is questionable to us. If relevant: We were in room 2, but we know that at least room 1 was in the same condition. We would have liked to have canceled, but since there was no money back, not even pro rata, and our credit card was already maxed out for the month, we couldn't change accommodation. Very frustrating.

The worst thing was probably the condition of the accommodation: beware, everything is full of mold! The fan on the ceiling and the bedding were particularly affected, so we decided to sleep without pillows and blankets (only with covers). We also had to remove the moldy topper. Simply everything here is a health risk! See also the photos we took... Furthermore: - The communal kitchen does not correspond to the pictures, utensils such as pans are heavily scratched and old, kitchen is rarely (if ever?) cleaned - The fridge is unacceptable -> rust, mold - see also the attached pictures - The staff seem reasonably nice and also want to clean daily, but the cleaning is not really deep, so we did it ourselves. At least the new bed linen and towels were always clean... - Another thing we noticed was that the staff made an effort to ensure that solo female travelers had a good time (sometimes they even stood in front of their rooms, looking inside, probably waiting for them to come out and talk - I don't know, but at least I wouldn't like this behavior, speaking of a woman's perspective). So nobody really spoke to us (but I'm totally okay with this, as there was nothing to say anymore); only after we complained to Booking on the first day, did they come to us and clean the room again. The bed was made up first, which was also the first time we noticed the terrible condition of the topper, blanket, and pillows. When they were finished and we pointed out that there was still mold in the room (fan and wall), they only cleaned the wall with a wet cloth and used a broom - standing on the bed - to remove the mold. This of course spread over the freshly made bed and we asked them to stop, also because the poking around with the broom wasn't really effective anyway...

Nice and quiet location

No TV or fridge

Great location, but no noisy. Our rooms got cleaned everyday!! It was super clean. I liked the interior, a lot of outlets, comfy bed, clean bathroom, lots of storage space. Had a great time there. Nice view from the balcony and just very friendly staff in general.

It’s a small pool area but enough for a dip to refresh 😊

Amazing rooms. Clean, new bathroom.

A little outside the center but manageable because grab/gojek was available.
