Ben's House

The location made it quick and easy to get to the market, and the room price was reasonable. Rooms were nice and clean, with daily cleaning, and the pool was good for cooling off. But the shower barely had any pressure, just a drip, so I had to catch water in my hand and pour it over my head. They supplied bath towels but no hand towels, and all the pillows were lumpy. The mirror wasn’t hung up, so it pointed at your groin, and you’d have to kneel down to use it.

I stayed four days and the room was spacious, with a big balcony and a sea view. They have smaller rooms too. The hotel met my expectations apart from a few issues: there were water supply problems for two days, and sometimes I had to wait for water in the washroom. The shower was small and had no pressure, and the water was either cold or too hot. The AC also leaked overnight.

The staff were polite, but I can’t recommend this place. There was no water at all after 9:00 PM, and the sheets and pillows were dirty with visible stains. The beds looked like prison cells. The rooms looked nothing like the misleading online photos, so I’m uploading pictures to show what the hotel actually looks like. The pool was green, which usually points to poor maintenance, algae and unsafe water. There were no sunbeds or chairs, and the place felt abandoned. This absolutely isn’t a 3-star hotel, and it’s a long walk to the beach.

After a 15h flight, this really wasn’t what we needed. The location was good and the staff were nice, but the beds were uncomfortable. The water was cold and only dripped out with barely any pressure. The air conditioning didn’t work, and the fan was so loud that we couldn’t sleep most of the night. It was still very hot.
