Room was spacious and clean. Contained all the facilities to cook inside if you get there late. Laundry facilities are shared with the owner. The only drawback was the shower - flow was weak, and the inside heater was not sufficient for two showers.You should wait between the showers. However, we had a pleasant stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and comfortable.

Bed - comfort Kitchen - Function good with Rice cooker, Oven, microwave, Stovetop of 4, waterbolier, refrigerator (would be nicer / added value if it is a normal height refrigerator with freezer since there is more than enough place to place one). Did not provide knife sharpener, scissors kitchen paper and aluminium paper. Dinning table - Good and stable Sofa - 2 person sofa is good and comfort Bathroom - The shower is very soft, doesn't give any satisfaction in taking a shower, the toilet flushing is also not easy, often has to flush a few times in order to get it clean. But the bathroom is clean and big. Would be nice if the shower is in a shower box instead of open style with curtain. Heater - 2 heaters all work very good. Daily changing of towels, very good and clean. ##### Hooi Yen Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice clean room, comfortable bed and well equipped ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald 8 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardins du Luxembourg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Les-Jardins-Du-Luxembourg.h53530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Budapest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels.d179994.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [iQ Hotel Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-IQ-Hotel-Roma.h3546384.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollington Park Glamping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newbury-Hotels-Hollington-Park-Glamping.h45711187.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ludhiana-Hotels.d2158.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gothenburg-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Scandinavia-Hotel.h598664.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Taplow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Taplow-Hotels.s50-0-d10842.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Zafiro Palmanova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Zafiro-Palmanova.h1200269.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LCY) to Hondarribia (EAS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/eas/london-to-san-sebastian) > > [Flights from Inverness (INV) to Cardiff (CWL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/inv/cwl/inverness-to-cardiff) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Billund (BLL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bll/london-to-billund) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Nottingham (NQT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/nqt/glasgow-to-nottingham) ### Activities > [Things to do in Rugby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Rugby.d5675.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Colico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Colico.d6155493.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Cala Coticcio Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cala-Coticcio-Beach-La-Maddalena.d553248621579082967.Attraction) > > [Ibiza Town Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibiza-Town.d1559.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Disneyland® Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Disneyland-Paris-Paris.d6035062.Attraction) > > [Namibia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Namibia.d125.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Cardiff Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Market-Cardiff-City-Centre.d553248635171373357.Attraction) > > [York Dungeon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Dungeon-City-Centre.d6079271.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Albufeira Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Holiday-Rentals.d4692.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Cameroon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cameroon.dx30)
