Unfortunately our stay was uncomfortable due to several issues that were not clearly communicated before booking.
1. Cooling: We were told not to open windows or balcony doors because of the central AC/air-filtration system. Despite temperatures around 30°C during the day, our rooms remained extremely hot and stuffy. We repeatedly asked for the AC to be adjusted, with little effect. The first night we could leave our doors open, but once another guest arrived, we could no longer do so and had no practical way to cool the room.
2. Shared bathroom: This was our biggest concern. “Shared bathroom” appears only in the About section and is misleading. We understood it to mean a bathroom shared between our two rooms, not with a complete stranger. Had this been clearly stated, we would not have booked.
3. Noise/odors: The shared kitchen meant hearing another guest cooking and using cabinets and dishes, while food odors entered our room. Since windows could not be opened, there was no way to ventilate.
4. Payment: At 5 PM, the owner’s son knocked asking for payment while we were resting, despite being told we could pay at checkout. At 8 PM, the owner’s wife messaged again while we were having dinner asking for payment
5. Privacy: This is a family-run property with the owners living on-site, which can make the experience feel more like staying in someone’s home than a guest house. One morning you are being served pastries and the next you are asked who took them from the kitchen.
