Thanks for your review :)

Management were extremely rude and unaccommodating. I’d suggest other guest houses nearby for better facilities and service.

Hi Timothy! Apologies for not being able to host you this time. According to our guest policy, all our roomies must be vaccinated, so perhaps in the future you'll have the opportunity to stay with us again! Cheers!
