Very disappointing!”
We stayed 15 minutes and changed hotel because the room/bungalow was full of insects and not really clean and we were afraid to bring back insects in our backpacks.

backpackers only”
I will not return to this place again.
Maybe ok for backpacks but much better places close by for around the same price.
I stayed 2 nights but thought about moving after the first night!!
I returned home with bites on my arms, which i believe we're from bed bugs.
Not an enjoyable visit at all.

Go elsewhere”
Nothing good to say. The river view irregularly shaped bungalow smelled so bad. Paid for two nights but ended up leaving after just one night. Beware if they require a teo nights minimum. Theanager did try to offer to change room but i refused.
