What recent reviews say

Families value the large pool and peaceful rural location near a mosque and rice fields; rooms come with TV, WiFi, and water heaters. Privacy is a sticking point: the owner lives adjacent to units, and lights go off at 10pm, limiting late gatherings. Water pressure is weak, parking is tight, and recent reviews are mixed on owner responsiveness.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
