Beji Ayu Homestay

I watched the hotel staff clean the room. He didn't use soap to wash coffee/tea cups in the room. He just rinsed the cups with water in the bathroom sink and used his fingers to rub off the coffee remains. He also didn't change the sheets and pillowcases. He just made the bed with the same linens. The facilities are old and worn. That's ok generally but the door to my room was uneven and the top corner had a big space between the door and the door frame. Light could come in as well as noise. The door was always open a bit because the door didn't quite close properly because it was uneven. It locked, but light would come in around the entire outline of the door as it was slightly open. Because the lock and door were uneven the door had centimeters of movement while shut so all night long it shook back and forth with the wind. It sounded like somebody trying to open the door constantly. Definitely not possible for a good night's sleep with all the banging noise. I told the owner in the morning and he said they would fix it after 5pm. I said OK and waited. Later that night, it still had not been fixed so I asked the person working at the desk and he said "Tomorrow." So, they were just putting it off another day and I had another bad night of interrupted sleep. I made a reservation elsewhere and left the next day. I couldn't rely on them fixing it the next day when they had already broken their promise to fix it once.Three nights' bad sleep--no thanks. On top of that, when I checked out the next day the worker overcharged me for the stay. I didn't want to argue, I just wanted to get out of there, so I left. Learn from my mistake and choose another hotel to avoid possible stress, frustration and being overcharged. There are many places nearby for the same price or cheaper.

Staying here for 5 days. Away from the noisy areas. Room is spacious, with fridge, tea/coffee, a/c, balcony and strong shower. There are several restaurants nearby and a supermarket. Breakfast can be ordered and eaten on your balcony. My wife was ill here and the staff provided any assistance we needed. The main tourist areas are about a £2.50 taxi ride. Recommend if you want the personal touch.
