Marselino Bacpacker's Room

I really liked the place at Marselino’s! The hosts were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The bed was comfortable, and overall the atmosphere was very welcoming.

Just a small thing — the shower didn’t have much water pressure, but I still managed to take a warm shower, so it was okay.

Comfortable rooms well located in Bajawa near an Alfamart and good restaurants. The owners are very welcoming and the garden is lovely. Breakfast is delicious. They were helpful with transport, Marselino even kindly picked us up from our bus when we were struggling to find transport. We were unwell during our stay and they kindly allowed us to extend our booking and check in early to rest. We stayed here again on our return trip from Riung and again we had an excellent stay. Highly recommend.

Nice , cozy room with good bright lightening (can read a book at night) and good wifi and own private bath, all that at a low price. Quiet place, had good sleep. Good warm blankets. All was clean. The bathroom was renovated and had a modern shower head, hot water was on demand. Don't be shy to ask owner to switch on the boiler. Very friendly owner couple, who were so nice and welcoming. They reserved bus to Ruteng for us, arranged motorbike for us. And they provided early breakfast at 06.30 am. Which hotel would do that for you ? The couple speaks some english. Some people said in reviews, the place is hard to find. Well, its now in Google Maps. If one comes from the small road with many other guesthouses, one must go down a small path and its not signed. The house itself is marked with Marselino name. We asked somebody on the street who showed us the small path down. The 2 dogs were quiet and seem well educated.

Water pressure a bit low when hot water is on.

The Breakfast….

The room itself was generally okay, but there were serious issues when we arrived. There was no running water at first, and the toilet flush didn’t work properly – both had to be fixed. The room also had a musty, damp smell that made the stay uncomfortable. For the price, I expected better maintenance. It’s a shame, because with some care this could have been a decent place.

Amy, Marselions wife, was the best! She took care of everything, tried to fix the shower, cooled and served breakfast and was super friendly and helpful. She borrowed me her jacket for climbing mount inerie!

The accomodation was okay. The shower wasn‘t working that good.

It was a big room Friendly people! Good breakfast. Lots of space

Hard to find when you don't have a driver Remove the horse picture. Its a bit dirty and ruins the whole room a bit :-)

This family will bend over backwards to make sure you have a comfortable stay. From organising tours to transport between cities they can do it all. But the most awesome part is with 30mins to an hours notice the family will boil enough hot water on their stove, carry out the pots and fill the hot water system so that you can have a hot shower!

Best banana pancakes ever!
