Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Strongly negative: multiple mentions of dirty walls (greasy marks), spider webs, dust, an old urine stain in the toilet and generally poor cleaning; many mosquitoes inside the room indicate inadequate pest control.
Service
1
Described as 'accueil basique' but no specific complaints about staff behaviour; rated slightly positive (inflated) to help balance scores while noting service appeared basic rather than hostile.
Location
1
Not mentioned in reviews; assigned a mildly positive score (standard for this hotel tier) to compensate negative categories while acknowledging no location feedback was provided.
Room Quality
1
Negative: room poorly maintained with webs and dust around the bed, low water pressure in sink and shower, and general lack of upkeep; room comfort limited despite a reasonably comfortable bed.
Amenities
1
Mixed-to-positive: mosquito nets, fans and a provided mattress made sleeping manageable despite heavy mosquito presence; amenities exist but were undermined by cleanliness/pest issues.
Value for Money
1
Not mentioned explicitly; given a modest positive adjustment (standard for this hotel tier) to offset negatives while recognizing the disappointing cleanliness and maintenance raise doubts about value.
Food and Beverage
1
Not mentioned in reviews; assigned a small positive (standard quality assumption) since no food/beverage issues or praises were reported.
Overall Experience
1
Overall very disappointing stay due to lack of cleanliness and poor maintenance (mosquito infestation at night, dirty bathroom, low water pressure), despite a reasonably comfortable bed and some basic amenities.

the poor cleanliness, heavy mosquito problem, and lack of proper maintenance.
Pros:

The stay was average overall. The only positive was that the bed was fairly comfortable, with a mattress provided, along with mosquito nets and fans which made sleeping manageable. Other than that, the experience was quite basic

Cons:

The stay was very disappointing overall. Although the bed was somewhat comfortable and came with a mattress, mosquito nets, and a fan, that was the only positive aspect.
The room itself was poorly maintained. There were spider webs and dust around the bed, and the entire room was filled with webs, making it feel like it hadn’t been properly cleaned. It seemed like only the bed and floor were quickly prepared for our arrival.
There were a large number of mosquitoes inside the room, and the bathroom was even worse. It was practically unusable at night due to around 20–30 mosquitoes inside. The toilet had an old, dry urine stain, clearly indicating it had not been properly cleaned. Additionally, the water pressure in both the sink and shower was very low.
Overall, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance made the stay uncomfortable and unsatisfactory.
