Reviews
At the time of check-in, I was told it’ll be 12pm even though I got there at 8am. I thought he’d ask the existing guests to check out on time AT THE LEAST, but the guests in my room checked out later than the checkout time and I only got the room at 1pm. It was extremely rude and indifferent behaviour.
A day before my check-out date, I had informed the reception that I’ve made another night’s booking on Agoda and he said he’d talk to the owner and confirm. But they never got back to me so I thought it was understood. Next day in the afternoon, while I was sleeping, I hear a knock 4 times and when I go out, there’s nobody. Imagine this happening when you’re sleeping in the privacy of a hotel room. I was frustrated by this and tried to go back to sleep. Then, the owner, the reception guys and 1 other guy who I’ve no idea who he was ganged up outside my room and told me “you should have INFORMED US that you booked this room. It’s a 3 person room, you need to pack and we I can send you to the other hotel”. I was SUPREMELY confused as to what’s going on. I was like okay, it’s a 3 person room, but I paid in full and booked online (like anybody else would) so what’s the problem? And the hotel they were sending me to was 1/4th of the price I paid for this room.
I told them either refund my money or book a room in the vicinity of the same value. The owner got agitated and handed me the cash saying “here, take your money, and I will pay for your other hotel if you want. It’s my penalty”
All I had in my mind was ellipsis. It was a bizarre experience to say the least and I don’t recommend staying here if you want your space as you should have in a HOTEL. This should be a called a HOMESTAY instead.
The hostel needs many renovations. Breakfast had the cheapest products, shower head was broken, there were lots of spiders and spider webs in the rooms and hostel, the doors were very old and handles were damaged. Good parts: garden, safety, some of the staff, staff’s being helpful.
