Cons:

Havde bestilt 9 dage, men afkortet opholdet fordi det ikke var tilfredsstillende. Blev opkrævet det fulde beløb 24097,50 INR, da jeg oplyste om mine rettigheder til at afkorte opholdet, forlangte de 3000 INR mere en Booking.com forlangte efter at have redigeret opholdets varighed.

מלון פשוט,מיטה נוחה .מקלחת עלובה.מיקום מוצלח. שירות בסדר.
Pros:

אהבנו את המיקום ליד חוף הים והטיילת.ליד המסעדות.ממש קרוב הכל. המיטה היתה נוחה. הבעלים היו מּקבלי פנים. נתנו מגבות נוספות לים.החליפו לנו את החדר לחדר עם מזגן ,כמובן בתוספת תשלום

Cons:

לא ניתן להגיע עם רכב למלון על מנת לפרוק מזוודות. דרשו תשלום עבור נשיאת המזוודות למלון. לא היה מצויין בבוקינג את העובדה הזו. גם לא צויין שהחדר ללא מזגן. אולי באשמתנו.מים חמים תלויי שמש. ולא היה שמש אז לא היו מים חמים.היינו צריכים לשלם תוספת על המזכן אבל לפחות התקזסו בזה שלא אכלנו ארוחת בוקר.

A great place to be
Pros:

I liked where it was located and was not far away from the beach. I loved my stay there.

It needs more marketing. I guess not many people know about this place.

The hotel has lost it’s allure and needs an update
Pros:

The setting is very pretty and the hotel manager and cleaners friendly

Cons:

The bathrooms were in poor condition. The shower drain on the opposite side of the room so excess water needed to be swept clear. No cold water which in the very hot weather was difficult. The room wasn’t cleaned or towels replaced during our four night stay. The breakfasts were disappointing. Almost all of the items on the menu were not available on a daily basis and no effort was made to resupply which could easily have been arranged.

Perfect except for above
Pros:

Breakfast was fine / location and staff fine

Cons:

Only one problem. I really think they should have access to drinking water in the foyer. We purchased water of course but one night we were really caught out as I was unwell, staff were asleep of course and we really needed fresh water urgently . Most home stays has access to drinking water in Kerala .
