Mould or damp10 of 2881 in 29 reviews
My room was a bit damp, musty.

The furniture, such as the sofa and desk, had a slightly musty smell (excluding the bed and bedding).

Insects or pestscomplaints rising: 1.7 in 100 a year ago, 4.8 now10 of 2881 in 29 reviews
Due to the open shower there were many mosquitos
Booking network, June 2026, rated 9/10 by this guest
My only issues were the mosquitoes in the room, which were a real nuisance, the saggy mattress that made for an uncomfortable night's sleep, and the poorly designed bathroom floor that doesn't drain water properly.
Google, October 2025, rated 3/5 by this guest
Something broken in the room5 of 2881 in 58 reviews
The number of mosquitoes in the room is indescribable: the bathroom is partly outdoors, so it fills with insects and animals (two geckos kept us company during the shower), and the door separating the bathroom from the bedroom was defective and had great difficulty closing.
Google, October 2025, rated 1/5 by this guest
Heating and air conditioning3 of 2881 in 96 reviews
The only downside is the air conditioning, which shuts off every two hours when it's over 30 degrees Celsius, preventing you from sleeping at night.
Google, September 2025, rated 4/5 by this guest
There was a lot of humidity in the air during our stay, but also the air co in the room didn't get this better.
