"Generally, the hotel offers no dining services. Rooms are not properly cleaned, such that there is always sand in the room. Sporadic electricity, such that most of the time you are in a blackout, especially when the genset runs out of gas. The aircon does not function sometimes, making the room to be very hot. The shower has no hold water and it is not functional as well. The hotel does not accept online booking especially through Expedia."
