What recent reviews say
The Cedar Villa draws large families and groups with its spacious layout and stunning pool overlooking the surrounding landscape, yet most recent reviews reveal chronic maintenance failures that override the architectural appeal. Visitors report dirty floors on arrival, uncleaned pools with excess chlorine, non-functional air conditioning and karaoke equipment, broken plumbing, sheets not changed between guests, and a pervasive smell from adjacent pig and fish farms. The potholed access road damages low-riding vehicles. Extra charges apply for basic items like mattresses and pillows despite premium pricing, and one guest reported serious health issues (rat infection, fever) requiring hospitalisation.

Common questions
- Is the access road suitable for all vehicles?
- No. Multiple reviewers report the potholed entrance road damages low-clearance cars, and some passengers had to get out to reduce weight.
- Are bedding and basic items included, or do guests pay extra?
- Basic sheets are included, but extra mattresses, pillows, and blankets incur additional charges despite the premium rental price.
- Is the pool regularly cleaned?
- No. Reviewers describe green water, moss around edges, and excessive chlorine. Maintenance appears limited to chlorine application rather than proper cleaning.
