The house owner was lovely. Tranquil garden. Big breakfast with lots of fruit and different treats every day. Powerful fan and good wifi! 10/10

Verborgen paradijsje
Pros:

Een heerlijke plek in de natuur. Een fijne tuin, terras met stoelen en tafel voor je kamer. Goede Klamboe. S,avonds hoor en zie je soms apen op het dak die van de mango boom eten. Dus ramen en deuren dicht als je gaat slapen. Vogelgeluiden, 2 rustige hondjes, eekhoorns...Lekker wisselend ontbijt. Wij konden er zelfs avondeten tegen een meerprijs. Er is een gemeenschappelijk ruimte met serviesgoed waar je koffie of thee kan zetten. Wij zijn er 6 nachten gebleven.

Cons:

Het ligt wat afgelegen van het centrum of stranden. Een pad door het " bos". Zaklamp is nodig als het donker is.

Beautiful clean property, amazing host
Pros:

Sweet host who cooked me a breakfast and even covered it so it wouldn’t get ruined when I slept in. Very clean, such a comfy mattress and location is private but only 10-15 minutes walk from all the tourist beaches

Cons:

No complaints

LOVED my stay
Pros:

I loved this place - ended up extending my stay 3 times. It’s really cozy with a beautiful garden. The hosts are amazing, super helpful and just generally really good, kind hearted people that make you feel like home. Don’t even get me started when it comes to breakfast. THE BEST. Really good nutritious meals, generous portions, served on time and also different each and every morning. I will definitely come back!

Pros:

Quiet homestay away from the busy/touristy areas around Hiri. It's right in the middle of nature and you can see monkeys, monitor lizards and many birds around the property. Breakfast is amazing and different everyday. Wifi is good but not good enough for meetings if you're working. We had to go to coworking places in town, but there's plenty to go to like Pranaya and Dots.

Cons:

Only downside is there's no Aircon, but there's a fan .

Pros:

Przepyszne jedzenie przygotowywane przez właścicielke, piękny ogród w którym można złapać oddech po intensywnym dniu. Bardzo cicho i spokojnie, ale wciąż w odległości spaceru do plaży. Polecam!!

Cons:

Wszystko super
