- Prince (3/5): Extremely horrible - I had a terrible welcome and my stay was not comfortable. The host was the worst l ever had.She was unwelcoming to us and treated like idiots.First she told l did not pay when l showed proof of payment after a long arguments she checks her back account and found payment. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Nothing the room was so tiny could hardly find a space to move and the shower is outside and could not take bath since it was raining. When l asked to provide another alternative to bath she told to bath on basin.horrible experience.
