"I've paid online for a separate room. Once I arrived I noticed that there is no available room for me. As alternative they bring me to the other guesthouse far away from this place. The new place had broken wi-fi, there was no any infrastructure near the guesthouse. The back way I've been forced to be paid by myself."

Rooms was very dirty, they said they do not clean every day if we do not ask, not clean towels and they don not give new, you have to pay to se TV, and the internet was very slow, all this is stated as free on the booking page. We booked with breakfast, but next morning at 7.30 there were no staff to serve breakfast. The rooms are falling apart and no ones care.

"This is an extremely budget friendly place and you get what you pay for. There's little privacy, you'll pay to use the kitchen, it's pretty dirty, and it's far from the center, but if what you need is a cheap spot, look no further! On the plus side, the staff was friendly, it's not far from the big Buddha overlooking the city and the wifi worked great."
