Not worth the price
Pros:

Location is strategic. Just few minutes walk to the bus halt and the beach is few steps away. Hot water facility is given.

Cons:

The room doesnt have good ventilation. Washroom is pretty basic. No soap was given atleast. The room door opens to the reception and courtyard, hence privacy is limited. We heard noises of other people throughout the night.

Pros:

the staff was very polite and helpful.

Cons:

I recently stayed at this homestay and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the staff was very polite and helpful. The way he communicated was professional and friendly, and he made an effort to assist with anything I needed, which I really appreciated.

However, there were a few issues that made the stay less comfortable. The floor was not very clean—there was noticeable dust or soil, which would stick to your feet and make walking around barefoot unpleasant. Additionally, there were dogs kept inside the homestay, and they would bark at different times, including at night. This disrupted my sleep and made it hard to fully relax.

Overall, while the hospitality from the staff was great, I believe the cleanliness and noise from the dogs are areas that need improvement for a better guest experience.
