Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities are basic — The Facilities rating is notably low at 2.5, indicating that the homestay's amenities are limited—there's no gym, pool, or extensive on-site services.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't an option here—the property explicitly disallows pets.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals may be problematic unless arranged in advance.
  • No parking on site — There is no dedicated parking listed, which could be a hassle for guests arriving by car. Airport transfers are offered for a fee, however.
