Great stay, thank you dilip
Pros:

Very cozy and nice stay , overall good for us we stayed 2 nights only

Cons:

Be aware: he claims to have Wifi but he purposefully does not fill any package and it’s very clear that it is turned off and he refuses to turn it back on keeps saying it’s working. For breakfast they provide quantity for only one person to share for 2 people and if you ask milk for tea they refused
We didn’t fit in with the behaviour and attitude of the owners at all. But overall good

Pros:

I had a great stay at this accommodation. The room was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to relax. The breakfast and dinner were both delicious, with a variety of tasty options that made each meal enjoyable. A special mention goes to the owner, who was very helpful and even showed us a shortcut that allowed us to reach the beach in just 5 minutes—definitely a game-changer for our stay! Overall, a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend it.

Good local home stay
Pros:

Cleanness 10/10
Not far from the beach.
Very good breakfast.
Value for money 10/10
Owner has a TukTuk so can help you to arrange any trip.
You have very good mosquito net.
You live in the real local home and the family is very friendly, they don't bother you at all :-)) I felt very comfortable and safe with them.
Thank you :-))

Cons:

Room is dark. It has open roof on the sides (never seen it before) ( I was a little bit afraid what can come in during the night when I will be sleeping but only tiny lizards were visiting me and they were eating insects so I was happy everytime I've seen them. Once I got used to it I've extended my stay with this lovely local family )
You don't have kettle in the room however you could ask for tea or coffee and they would prepare for you.
I did not experience hot water in the shower but it was hot during the day so it did not bother me to refresh in cold water.
