Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Some areas need updating — A guest mentioned the shower curtain could use replacing and that renovations are still ongoing.
- Not a luxurious stay — The guesthouse is simple and homey rather than upscale, which may not suit those expecting premium finishes.
- Mixed ratings on value — While the price is low, the value category scores slightly lower than other aspects, and one guest gave a low rating despite praising the location.

8.2Verified guest“A very pleasant guesthouse. We were upgraded to a studio with a big terrace, spacious kitchen and bedroom, plus a bathroom. Not luxurious but clean and homey. Kitchen appliances, utensils, and snacks were provided. Daily cleaning. Great for a family of three. The staff were very easy-going and cooperative. They helped me get to the airport on time despite my early flight.”
