Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report cockroaches in restaurant, moldy smell, dirty-looking toilets and generally poor room hygiene — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
7.8
Mixed but generally positive: several comments praise friendly staff, hospitality and reliable airport pickup/shuttle, though some reports mention unresponsive phone lines and poor customer service in a few cases.
Location
8.6
Frequently praised for proximity to the airport and free shuttle service; location/accessibility is consistently a strong point.
Room Quality
4.2
Many mentions of small, poorly maintained rooms: broken showers, leaking sinks, faulty AC, strong/slamming bathroom doors and mold — room quality is notably low.
Amenities
7.2
Some useful amenities (airport shuttle, basic facilities) are present, but guests also noted missing items (no coffee/teabags/milk/sugar, limited restaurant options) — amenities are serviceable but inconsistent.
Value for Money
6.8
Mixed impressions: a few guests find it acceptable for the market (Port Moresby) or cheap for certain visitors, while others call it not worth the price — value is slightly above neutral on average.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Several complaints about restaurant issues (cockroaches, unavailable menu items, poorly handled complimentary breakfast and missing basics) versus isolated positive notes about breakfast — overall slightly below average.
Overall Experience
7
Experience is mixed: positives include quiet atmosphere, friendly staff and airport shuttle; negatives from cleanliness and room condition pull the overall stay down to a modestly positive level.
