Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The surroundings are really green and to weaken up there was amazing, birds and sunny morning. The staff is amazingly kind and willing to help and give you good advice about the attractions around.The mosquito net is great and it is really well equipped for cooking.

Negative: The room i got, it had insects and the indoors lighting was poor. So it makes you feel you are not in a clean place. Although it was clean enough, the whole setup does not help to get rid of the idea if you arrive late at night.
