Valomia Guest House

We’d booked two nights, but the place looked shut when we got there. There was no one at reception, so while waiting for a call back we looked around. The pool was green, and there was dirt and dust everywhere, with ladders and other things left lying about. It looked nothing like the photos. The room seemed okay through the window, but after seeing the rest we’d already decided not to stay. Have a look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I guess lockdown was hard on the place.

A quiet, affordable place to stay around Padangsambian. Getting there is a bit difficult, and I think the facilities need an upgrade. They should provide more water during a stay. There was no toothbrush, and the towel wasn’t very clean.

The owners are very friendly and around 24/7 if you need help. Breakfast was nice, especially the smoothies. The guesthouse is clean and cozy, tucked at the end of a small road in a quiet area with lots of local people. There are plenty of warungs nearby, and the next supermarket is about a 10 minute walk. WiFi is available, though the signal in the rooms isn’t very strong.

It’s right at the far end of the lane, and you can’t see the little place from the gate. At first you might have doubts, but there’s a lovely little secret tucked inside. The staff and owner are nice, and breakfast is good. Worth the money to come here.
