Despite some initial hesitation due to mixed Google reviews, Mayiivip Homestay turned out to be a great choice for our family trip. Since we were traveling with my elderly uncle and aunt and I have limited mobility, the single-story layout was a major plus.

Key Notes for Future Guests: ⚠️ Check-in Time: Agoda listed 12 AM, but the actual check-in is 3 PM—this needs to be corrected to avoid confusion. ⚠️ Deposit: Not mentioned on Agoda, so be prepared to pay one upon arrival. 📱 Pro Tip: If you don’t get a reply on Agoda, WhatsApp the host directly—they respond much faster!
What We Liked: ✔ Spacious, clean, and well-maintained with air conditioning in all rooms. ✔ Two bathrooms—one with a sitting toilet (master bedroom) and another with a squatting toilet (kitchen area), both with hot water showers. ✔ Basic toiletries (shampoo, soap) provided—helpful for short stays. ✔ Quick deposit refund (checked out Sunday, refund received by Wednesday).
Room for Improvement: Clearer Agoda listing (check-in time, deposit info). Better initial communication (though WhatsApp worked well).
Final Verdict: A comfortable, accessible homestay ideal for families with elderly members or those needing single-story convenience. With minor booking adjustments, it’d be perfect! We’d stay again.

It’s really frustrating to feel like you’re being scammed just to make easy money off guests’ deposits. Please stop this...
