Not a good experience

This hotel was difficult to find and the owners did not answer calls for directions. Upon arrival there was much confusion about my booking and my request to upgrade to an air conditioned room took about 45minutes of phone calls. When I did get to the room there was a live rat in the toilet. No apologies for this or follow up. Would not recommebd

Ikke bra!

Rommet: seng+bad. Ikke trykk i dusjen. I hotellbeskrivelsen står det bl.a frokost og restaurant. Dette stemmer ikke. Vi måtte spise alle måltider andre steder. Ingen lokale hadde hørt om hotellet under navnet på nett. Men under navnet yaya inn.. Står beach hotellet,men det ligger ikke på stranden.
