4.7(19)✓ Google-verified

Guests consistently praise the owner's warmth and quick responses, clean rooms with individual toilets, and spacious grounds ideal for families and groups. The kitchen is fully stocked, the property feels peaceful despite being close to town and the airport, and most facilities work well. A few visitors noted aging toilets and occasional air-con noise, but these are outweighed by the overall hospitality and comfort.
