It is a really affordable place to stay. The management and the bungalow keeper are very helpful. But the linen should be changed.

The booked family room was given away without communicating with us. They claim that they thought we wouldn't show up and no contact numbers. But email and a message via the booking.com app are possible for confirmation. Had to stay in a standard room which was left. Mosquito net is indeed necessary in these rooms.
