SPOT ON 91620 Skypiea Guest House

The women running the place are older and actually quite nice, and there are lots of rooms to choose from if you book directly, from standard to king-size. I stayed for a day. The price gap between booking sites and direct rates isn't something I can control, though customers have complained to me about it several times. And come on, expecting a comfortable room with full facilities for 100,000 Rupiah doesn't make sense. You can sleep for free in a mosque.

The online rate and the price at the property didn't match, with extra charges on arrival. I was okay with my first stay, but when I tried to become a regular guest, things went badly. I messaged on WA in mid-August, and the admin said a room was available and unbooked. Once I arrived, they said first it was being renovated, then that they no longer took daily stays, then that nobody was there to look after it, and finally that I hadn't given at least H min 1 notice, so there was no deal. I reached Tasik at 10, though check-in is generally at 12 or 2 p.m., and only asked to stay one day while I looked for somewhere else. They said, "not my business." If daily stays aren't allowed, remove the ads from oyo, traveloka, and the other sites instead of trapping guests. The online price differed from the on-site price with extra fees. BEWARE GUY'S, this was a nightmare place. There are many better places in Tasik.

I was fed up by the time I left. It felt like prison, with an iron gate and the gate closing at 8 am. The garage didn't look like the photo, and the bathroom was dirty. I booked online through the Oyo application, but on arrival they asked me to pay again, calling it extra tax and service charges. They should close the online application so nobody else gets cheated.

Watch out for this. I booked online at a lower price, then was asked to pay extra when I arrived. The price on arrival was different, it feels like a scam!!!
