My friend and I stayed here for one night and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Ajith, our host, was unbelievably helpful and kind. We had just made a shady experience with a tuk tuk driver and Ajith helped us get out of the situation and organised a new transport for us. He made us feel so safe and his breakfasts are phenomenal. The bedroom is clean, has AC, hot water - literally anything you need.
