Reviewed Mar 29, 2026The room setup, the location and the fact that the staff was willing to fix their blunders even though it took up much of our time.
we found stains in the first room-long yellow streaks on the sheets and the staff blamed each other for not cleaning it. we stood outside the gate for a very long time without anyone opening or answering our calls. even when we were moved to the other room we had to beg for towels.

Reviewed Feb 27, 2026Got scammed by this place. Placed a booking on booking.com, when we got to the accommodation the said the apartment we had booked had been allocated to someone else. They offered us another apartment but said we had to pay for it as well despite the fact that we had already paid for the 1st apartment. We requested a refunded on the 1st apartment we didn't get and they denied our request then further charged us for cancelation fee for the 1st apartment. This was truly a terrible experience

This staff is so rude and incompetent they treat us like trash this stay was unprofessional nd unpleasant we don’t recommend this to anyone and especially the staff member called angie is the one who’s more rude like the wolf pack leader so for this treatment we going to burnish the name of this guest house 😤and management making our stay uncomfortable with the fact that they say the rules that they set in the rooms don’t apply on what’s written on booking.com telling us we need to leave the stay only after few hours of being there,where else on booking.com it says check in time is anything from 00:00 . So now they forcing us to leave the stay time we already paid for it and we booked from the 1st till the 2nd
