The location is fantastic, and the amenities were excellent, making it a comfortable base for exploring the area. However, I did encounter a few cleanliness issues. Despite requesting a thorough vacuuming of spiders and ants, they remained in the same spots when we returned, which was a bit disappointing. With a bit more attention to room upkeep, this place could be perfect.

it’s actually a divided hut behind the main building of hostel. Quite hot during the sunny daytime, no air con and fans available. The only fan in bathroom was super loud. Just like motel at back. Should be aware noise when cars and other guests passed though the stone road.

Overall it was a good night stay. Although we had the view as the room was in front, the noise of others can be heard like footsteps and even the smell of people smoking is coming inside the room.
