Positive Reviews
positive:
Incredible service by the hosts
Most of the positive reviews were centred on the amazing hospitality of the owners! They made everyone feel at home and treated guests as a family member. They provided useful tips and suggestions to make sure guests were having a wonderful stay, and were courteous and willing to assist special requests.
positive:
Freshly prepared breakfast
The freshly cooked and well-organised breakfast food served by the hosts themselves was outstanding according to most guests. The freshly baked banana bread was superb as well as the omelette, fruits, yoghurt, coffee, and tea. Furthermore, their Vietnamese pork roll was enjoyed by guests and was more than enough to complete their day.
positive:
Stylish rooms with elegant woodwork
Aside from the spacious rooms, most guests are impressed with the incredible workmanship and contemporary masterpiece of the host, which is depicted on the room’s designs. The luxury or King suites have great furnishings and are elegantly designed for guests who want luxurious accommodations.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No shoes policy
The ‘no shoes policy’ is disappointing according to guests. The policy requires guests to remove their shoes as soon as they reach the door or before getting inside the house.
negative:
Not-so-perfect location
Due to the lack of enough scenery within the area like beach or ocean view, guests were unimpressed. They also had problems finding the hotel’s actual location for there were not enough billboards, flyers, or advertisements. The hotel’s residential location instead of central or commercial was quite off-putting to guests.
negative:
Inadequate on-site facilities
The hotel lacks enough facilities such as business centre, bar, or additional recreational areas. Therefore, previous guests were not able to fully maximise their stay. Those guests who were opting to have some fun or were into the so-called night life had to go some place else within driving distance.
