Pros:

Très bien situé.
On peut se faire a manger.
L'accueil de la famille était sympa dommage pour la barrière de la langue avec les parents.
Et jai eu de la chance car jai pu garer ma voiture gratuitement juste a côté.

Cons:

Il manque juste une petite terrasse extérieure...

Pros:

バスタオル付き、ベッドも快適でした。大きめのバックパックごと入れられるロッカー(鍵付き)もありました。オーナーさん家族もフレンドリーで心地よかったです。

Cons:

ベッド横のコンセントがすぐ抜けて使いづらかった…(多分ベッドによる)
キッチンはありますが、共用のというよりはオーナー宅のものを使わせて貰う、という感じで自由に使える感じてはなかったです。とはいえ、使いたいと申告すれば使わせてもらえました。※バター、油の持参必要、ないと多分使えないかも…

Close to old town.Great overnight for quick stop.
Pros:

Arrived late to the property however were still welcomed by the owner pleasantly.The bed is installed with curtain and the shower/toilet is inside the room.

Close to old town but if you need to go to the town center you might need a little bit more walking.But it is fine.

However the kitchen is pretty simple and could be tidier during my stay.

Cons:

None

Good for 1 night, close to bazaar
Pros:

Stayed 1x night at Cico Hostel, was good for this amount of time. Was a good location (very close to bazaar), reasonably priced, friendly hosts and comfy bed with plug, light and privacy curtains.

Cons:

The 8 bedroom dorm room was very small, not a lot of floor space (although there is a locker) and only 1 bathroom (toilet and shower in same bathroom), which meant you often had to wait a long time. There was also not much of a social or common area, which made it hard to meet people.
