I will start with the positive: the staff are lovely and friendly and I am sure they truly try their best.||However this guesthouse is a joke for the money they ask for a room. We stayed in Dec 2017 and the rooms were freezing (windows and doors don't close properly, very old conditions), the beds and rooms smelt damp and the showers were malfunctional, spraying water all over the place. I would be ok with all these things if the room as 20$ a night, but they charged us over 60$ a night for one double room (10$ extra for arriving earlier than check-in time) and over 75$ a night for a room with two beds!

Read moreWe stayed here for one night before traveling around in the country, and return after to stay another two nights. We were here at 24th of December, and had a little Christmas celebration of our own, and the staff put on some music for us without us asking, which was really nice. The rooms are clean, although some doorknobs missing, a light on the mirror not working and low pressure in the shower. But we managed to close the doors by locking them, taking some ekstra time in the shower to get all the soap off, and the light in the ceiling of the bathroom worked, so we saw just fine. The coffee is lovely, the breakfast simple, but really good. The short distance to the airport was also...
