Nothing to say here
Pros:

The surrounding area

Cons:

First of all, the staff lack proper reception and communication skills. They do not pay attention to details, ask about your needs, or check whether you are comfortable with your stay. Basic necessities such as toilet paper and towels were also missing.
The listing stated that the room had air conditioning, but when I arrived, I was told that the room did not have it. They then told me that if I wanted an air-conditioned room, I would have to cancel my reservation through Booking.com, book directly with them, and pay an additional amount.
I found this behavior exploitative and completely unacceptable, especially since air conditioning was advertised as one of the room’s amenities when I made the reservation.

Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our stay at this place due to several issues.
Pros:

The rooms are beautiful, very clean, and well-furnished. The location is excellent, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach. I especially loved the nice terrace in front of the rooms—it is a perfect and relaxing spot for sitting outside in the evening. The entire place is incredibly quiet and offers great privacy.

Cons:

The rooms are furnished, but there was no toilet paper provided. The towels are extremely small and do not absorb water well. There are also noisy dogs in the surrounding area, which makes it impossible to sit comfortably on the terrace. Furthermore, the staff completely lacks communication skills, and their interaction with customers is very weak.

To our surprise, as soon as we arrived, we were informed that the rooms we had booked did not include air conditioning, and that if we wanted it, we would have to cancel our original reservation and make a new booking. Additionally, the electric kettles were heavily calcified and badly needed cleaning, and the rooms and bedsheets were full of mosquitoes and geckos.

Pros:

Chambre agréable et spacieuse avec un petit patio au calme à 10 minutes de la mer et proche de plusieurs restaurants corrects'

Cons:

Contrairement au nom de l'établissement il ne s'agit pas vraiment d'un home stay. C'est un petit hôtel avec une dizaine de chambres. Du coup le contact avec le propriétaire est plus distant avec peu de conseils et d'échanges

Cómodo y agradable cerca de la playa
Pros:

Sitio muy limpio, gestionado por una familia muy amable. Cerca de la playa y de restaurantes. El desayuno muy bueno, bastante cantidad. Va muy bien tener la nevera en la habitación y fuera para tender cuando vienes de la playa. Lavamos ropa con ellos y también nos alquilaron una moto y fué todo muy bien.

Pros:

Eerst hadden we een kamer op gelijkvloers met terras aan de binnentuin. Dit bed was heel slecht. Daarna hadden we een duurdere kamer die wel een goed bed had.

Cons:

Mijn vriend heeft een gluten intolerantie. De eigenaar deed geen moeite om het ontbijt aan te passen door bv stringhopper of rijst aan te bieden

Pros:

De locatie is goed, dicht bij het strand in een rustige straat. De kamers zijn heel netjes. Er was ruimte om onze tuktuk veilig te parkeren. Goed werkende airco (weinig lawaai). De dochters waren super vriendelijk en heel behulpzaam.

Cons:

We vroegen bij het boeken vele maanden vooraf om 2 kamers naast elkaar te krijgen (we reizen met 2 jonge kinderen). 2 weken voor onze aankomst werd nogmaals bevestigd dat dit zeker in orde was. Bij aankomst bleek dit niet zo te zijn. Ze schrokken wat dat we hier niet blij mee waren (de kamers lagen op een andere verdieping).

De honden van het verblijf kwamen soms wel heel dicht. Ook 's nachts lieten ze geregeld van zich horen.

Prima locatie, bij een mooie en gezellige badplaats
Pros:

Het zitje op het balkon, vriendelijk personeel en ligging tov het strand

Cons:

Het bed was te klein (te kort), kraakte en lakens waren niet van katoen. Sliep hierdoor minder comfortabel
