What recent reviews say

Recent guests praise the spacious layout, functioning pool, and full kitchen for groups. Older rooms feel outdated with worn furniture, flickering lights, and maintenance issues like faulty doors and moss buildup; some found the antique decor unsettling rather than charming. Cleanliness is inconsistent, though owner is described as responsive and the property works well for families willing to overlook the retro feel.

Recent shift: Deterioration in maintenance and cleanliness over time. Early reviews (4-6 years ago) highlighted beauty and comfort; recent reviews (1-9 months ago) flagged worn furniture, moss on walls, flickering lights, and occasional poor cleaning. Newer guests report better cleanliness than mid-timeline reviews, suggesting some recent effort but concerns remain.

Praised for
  • spacious rooms and large pool
  • clean and well-maintained (recent stays)
  • full kitchen and cooking amenities
  • family-friendly setup for groups
Watch-outs
  • old, dated furniture and decor throughout
  • maintenance issues (flickering lights, broken doors, moss on walls, rusty kitchen)
  • creepy, uncomfortable atmosphere from antiques and old decorations
  • occasional cleanliness lapses (hair on beds, items not cleaned properly)

Families and large groups consistently praise the spacious layout, complete amenities, and private pool suitable for children and adults. The property stays clean, the owner Aisy is attentive, and BBQ facilities plus nearby durian orchards make it ideal for gatherings and relaxation without outside intrusions. One reviewer wished for living room air conditioning, but this is a minor note. The combination of reasonable pricing, ample facilities, and family-focused design has earned strong repeat-visit intent across the reviews.
