Cannot understand the great ratings. Everything was mediogre. The rooms are decent but nothing more than a hut with a chair and a table. The water is dripping out of the shower with no possibility to have decently warm water. Its either burning hot or cold. The wifi was basically nonexistent.

The staff was very kind and helpful. I would definitely stay at Engiri Game...
