"First off, I want to acknowledge the excellent service and the decent food at the restaurant. The staff were warm and enthusiastic, even helping with luggage. As for the breakfast, which some reviews criticized, it's pretty standard for a B&B – not a huge variety, but they're quick to restock. Even though breakfast officially ends at 10 AM, I still found eggs and fried dough available past 10:30 AM.
Now for the downsides. Firstly, the ants in the room. In the first room I booked, there were large black ants on the table and floor. I reported it to the staff, and they promptly moved me to another room. The first night in the new room was fine, but then I found ants again the next morning, which was quite unsettling. I was worried they might have gotten into my luggage overnight. The hotel explained that ants are unavoidable due to the surrounding greenery, which I understand but can't accept, especially given the room rate. Basic pest control should be in place.
Secondly, the power outages. During my two-night stay, there were power cuts every morning. What's most frustrating is that the toilets are electric, which meant no flushing – quite an awkward situation. If it's a location with unstable power, I can understand, but couldn't they use regular toilets instead?
Lastly, there are nightly performances both at the guesthouse and outside. The guesthouse's show runs from 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM, while the outdoor bonfire party goes on until past midnight. The room's soundproofing isn't great, so it gets noisy and affects sleep. I understand it's a local cultural feature, but most guests are travelers looking for rest, and being disturbed until midnight is a bit much. However, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere, you might like it. Finally, the hairdryer in the room was broken. On a positive note, the landscape room did offer a good view, though there was a slight cow dung smell. The first room with ants had it, but the second room I was moved to was better in that regard."
