What recent reviews say

Most guests praise the quiet village location, spotless rooms, and full kitchen setup with working appliances. Owner Sofiah is described as friendly and helpful. However, earlier reviews flagged sagging mattresses, bathroom wiring safety, and slow response to emergencies; some improvement has likely occurred since, but comfort inconsistencies and maintenance gaps have been noted.

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

One guest praised the peaceful village atmosphere and generous hospitality, including banana pudding. Another flagged an ageing air-con unit, missing hot water in both bathrooms, and basic toiletries, suggesting maintenance and comfort upgrades would help.
