              Small but very comfortable. Hosts enjoy talking to their guests - gives a very personal feel. Like visiting great friends. Extremely comfortable - equivalent of any upmarket rated hotel in area. If you from a major metro this fits a standard a traveler is accustomed to versus getting a surprise. It is so comfortable the entrance is deceptive about hiw much of a great package you get. Companies need to load them as

              Safety, Clean, Surroundings were well maintained, Well equipped kitchen

              This was a wonderful budget overnight stay. I believe that the guesthouse has overrated itself as a four star venue. The family room was a bit cramped and very hot. To be considered a three star venue, airconditioning must be provided in every room. The TV controls in the two rooms was very tricky to operate and should be improved to warrant three star status. The beds were too soft and sunk in the middle. The bedding, linen, toilets and kitchen were super clean and inviting. The hosts were very friendly and took time to provide to ensure we were familiar with our surroundings. We did not eat on the premises, however, the breakfast certainly smelt delicious. Very charming place, will definitely stay over again if there is airconditioning.
