HOTEL.COM doit vraiment faire de quoi pour améliorer ces désagréments avant que les clients comme moi changent de site. ##### sylvain Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Aug 2018 #### Okay place You get exactly what you paid for. I mean it’s cheap and not nice. Plus you hear planes landing and taking off all the time, it’s because the whole area does. The staff is nice and helping. I didn’t leave this place with any regret or annoyance. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Irina 8 May 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Только переночевать Мы выбрали этот гест хаус из-за отличного расположения и не прогадали - все развлечения чавенга под рукой! До пляжа идти три минуты через другой отель. В комнате только кровать и вешалка. Если вам нужно только где-то спать и хранить рюкзак с вещами, то это место подойдет. Жить тут полноценно, конечно, совсем не удобно. ##### Irina ### 10/10 Excellent #### Céline 5 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Céline Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 14 Sept 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don't chose Chewang area!!! When I arrive to the hotel one of the receptionists gave me a room without a locker so anyone could enter there and on top of that of the floor I found dead cockroach so I wen back to the reception asking for a different room so she got angry with me giving me an attitude and I had to pay 200 bats for a better room! Disappointed about the room and the area in general!!! Looked very spoiled and dirty area! You couldn't walk on the street without being stop! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 May 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Squalid I'm not the type of person who complains about cheap places. I know what I'm paying for, but, in the case of Green Guest House, I need to tell you that I had to just cut my loses and go somewhere else. Normally, I would look past the soiled sheet and the hairs and bodily fluids and just sleep with my clothes on, but it would've been too warm in the rooms for this. There was also this pervasive sewage smell and, yeah, I know at this price I can't expect the Ritz, but the smell was so strong, especially without much ventilation, it was hard not to gag on it. For another hundred baht you can find a much more comfortable place. Unless your just looking for a bed to pass out in, I would strongly consider avoiding this place. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 7 Sept 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Posizione non male Stanza buia, aria condizionata rumorosissima impediva di dormire, materasso con molle rotte sembrava di dormire su un letto di chiodi ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 23 Feb 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice place, near to everything. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller
