Ok
The gentleman at the reception seems like an angry man, he told me he did not list his guesthouse on Hotels.com and could not find my booking. The room he gave us was eventually really nice, comfortable and clean. The ladies working in the kitchen are amazing and offered great service with smiles and warm etiquette all the way. I liked the place so much but that gentleman at the reception *sour face*
