    Out of the control of the owners - but the prayer call is very loud and can be heard very early in the morning - so would recommend some good ear plugs!

    Simple room but had everything we needed - good AC, lots of space, hot shower in a shared bathroom. Location was great as well - within 10 minutes to the main areas on the island. We did have breakfast included in our stay but never had it - was very little communication about timings and or where to go. However we were happy to try some of the cafes nearby so it wasn’t an issue for us.

    We booked this accommodation as it included the use of the bikes. There were 3 bikes available, but one of them had no chain, and another, the brakes didn't work and the rim was broken. We asked if they had any others, but they didn't get back to us, so we ended up having to pay for other bikes. The check in time on Booking.com is also wrong, check in is 1pm and check out is 11am.

    Good sized room with balcony. The bed is comfy and the AC works well. The bathroom is downstairs but it wasn't a problem as the property only has one other room so privacy isn't too much of an issue. Staff that we saw were friendly and the breakfast (5 minute walk away) was really nice.

    The bathroom was located on the ground floor while the room itself on the 1st floor There is no garden or any kind of greenery inside the property unfortunately

    The location is very close to harbour. The AC in the room is great, silent and powerful Also the bedlinen is simple the best, silky and super comfortable

    Our host Lina was super attentive and came as soon as something was needed. The place was great value for us. The gas stove was really good so we could cook simple meals. Free bikes were a great addition also.

    Halfway through the month construction started next door but it wasn't too bad. A closet to put away clothes would have been nice.

    Privacy, ability to cook, peaceful place.

    nothing

    The hotel has two locations, one of which is a little far away and cannot be found on Google Maps. However, the room itself was very good and comfortable so I have no complaints.

    I stayed in the room upstairs with the toilet downstairs. The other room may be fine but this one is... I was talking with the owner on the phone and on WhatsApp, he seems nice but didn't actually help with issues - The toilet faucet is not working, he said he'll send someone to look at it but didn't, at the end I found an employee in the area and he just looked at it and said "yeah it's not working". So I had to wash my hands and brush my teeth in the shower. Another employee just lay down on my terrace downstairs, and also came up outside the room to check something in the electricity I think when I was changing (the door is made of glass) I also asked the owner to let me know when the room is ready for checkin, he said ok but never responded after even repeatedly asking him, at the end I just came and entered the room which was open. Breakfast at a nearby restaurant is minus average. Surrounding isn't so quite at night I wouldn't stay here again, it's cheap but there are better rooms at the same price.

    The location is right in the middle of the island

    When we were there, the stove in the kitchen didn't work and there were no knives.

    The room was very nicely done and comfortable. Showers were clean and were located downstairs just below our room. Breakfast was very tasty! You just need to ask about it as it's in a restaurant about 5 min walk from the hotel. Also better agree on the time for breakfast if you're leaving the island in the morning.

    The hygiene. Ask them twice to please clean the bathroom. The shower grate have the ADN of every guest that had ever visited the place Breakfast not served in the property and AFTeR 8… many people come to this island to dive, a breakfast at 8 is way too late. There’s not much the accommodations Can do about the morning call from the Mosque, but if your a light sleeper you might wanna consider going far north

    The AC works well, there was a kitchen, the location. Fair value for money.

    If with bags, it can be a bit of a walk but the location is quiet. You do hear the mosque but that's almost everywhere on the island so was still relatively okay.

    It was a very quiet area and the staff were so friendly accommodating and nice. Went out of their way to provide and prepared great breakfast everyday!

    Can’t think about anything right now. It was a really good value for money.

    The location is Perfect, AC works great, bed comfortable and the free bike and breakfast was a big plus. When I come back to Indonesia, I will define stay there again. Lina was super lovely.
