    The outdoor shower means more mozzies and it’s a salt water shower, but this can’t be helped as that’s at every place on this island.

    The room was comfortable and spacious. The AC was great aswell. The breakfast was yummy and the staff were very friendly.

    The room is described as 'deluxe', but it's far from deluxe! Especially the bathroom. Lots of maintenance required! Cold, saltwater shower, which didn't bother us, but might not be to everyone's liking. Infrequent cleaning.

    Spacious bungalow (we had bungalow 1). Quiet location in a nice garden setting, close to the harbour. Tasty free breakfast. Friendly staff (but definitely not proactive!). Cheap price.

    The room could have done with a mosquito net due to a few cracks in the walls. But overall our stay was enjoyable!

    The property was very clean and quiet. Easy to sleep and easy to walk from the property to anywhere on the island. Our stay was comfortable and breakfast was really good! I especially enjoyed the pancakes! The staff were amazing, anything we needed they gave us!

    They prepare a great tasty breakfast—very nice and friendly staff. We had a problem with the light in the bathroom and since I wrote them it took maybe 3 minutes and they came and changed the lightbulb - very helpful and fast. If you need to lend a bicycle they can provide to you.

    The WiFi wasn’t working properly when I was there. They said something happened a few weeks prior and still hadn’t been fixed by the company. The cottages could use some maintenance but honestly, that’s reflected in the price so didn’t bother me.

    The cottage was quite big, A/C worked well, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s a bit tucked away, so it’s very quiet, and short walking distance to the harbour. The free breakfast was simple but decent for sure. And lots lovely cats to play with!

    We had a small inconvenience with a noise from a construction work on the yard, but onced we told about it to the host, workers stopped and didn't make any noise while we were at the place. The host is really careful!

    Breakfast was awesome, the location is very comfortable - a couple of minutes walk to the beaches, shops and nice warungs. The yard is green and beautiful, full of friendly cats :) the bed was very comfortable and room is way more spacious than it seems on photos!

    Though not an issue for me, be aware if you're planning to stay there there is; No hot water Low (day) light inside Possibility of bugs but that's anywhere on the island really Weak wifi but still works enough for streaming video

    I was at first a little hesitant because of the other reviews, but It exceeded my expectations. I stayed for 5 nights, It's a family run business and they're all very kind and helpful, good breakfast in the morning, nice view from the porch of palm trees and tended grounds, comfortable bed, good water pressure, working AC, small island so location is good anywhere, especially with a bike, overall great value for money. I've stayed in 5 different properties on Meno, here you get a simple but clean bungalow for a good price. Recommended.

    We loved DEA!! Lovely accommodation, super clean and fabulous location! The man running DEA was so kind, incredibly hard working and helped any problem we had. A bonus is you can hire bikes to explore the island here. The breakfast was great every day, good portions and tasty. We recommended DEA to anyone staying on the island:).

    Very poor facilities with no maintenance and very low cleaning standards. half of the lights didn’t work and there would be no fixing, nor any explanation, so the room was super dark. No hot shower, which I just wish was advertised. I accidentally left my phone charger behind when checked out. Texted asking about it, no response. Got a text a day later saying they’d have a look. No response again. I went back to the property a couple of days later and the keeper was no longer there, only the owner. She never replied my text but had my charger plugged in her house, using it. Very unusual behaviour for the area, from my experiences being on these islands few times before.

    The breakfast included in the price was pretty good. The place keeper was nice, but wouldn’t resolve anything, had to contact owner at any request/issue and some would just not be resolved at all.

    The stuff wasn’t as friendly as we were expectanting (or like any other place), and 0 details. The pictures show a beautiful garden, but it is not like this.

    The location is good and it is the cheapest place in the Island. The breakfast is handmade
