The property itself earns consistent praise for cleanliness, comfort, and stunning paddy field views. However, nearly half the reviews are one-star, citing the owner's rudeness, deposit disputes, and delayed refunds that can take days despite promised 24-hour turnaround. Insects have been reported, though staff will address them if asked. The experience hinges entirely on avoiding a refund claim.
