"The hotel is the owner’s home. A very large and clean house. Our room has three large beds. Only problem was the mosquitoes. After killed more than 10 of them, we were still bitten once the lights are out. Using the mosquito net might be the solution. We just didn’t expect it to be so bad. Guess this is a common problem for the area. Overall, the stay was relatively acceptable and staff, who is the owner as well, is very friendly. "

The bycicle is brought to your room, this is the best way to see the sites, also the entrance is quite near. In the evening the landlady cooks a nice curry for you - or whatever you want - and she also has beer! All in all a very agreeable stay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner though."
