    It was not very clean, just OK. And installations need some renovation.

    Very affordable, hot water, air conditioner, friendly and helpful staff.

    That the window goes towards the inner yard, hence not much privacy if the curtains are open. Cleanliness could improve but I think that is pretty common for the island. (Toilet and dust)

    Super welcoming family, spacious room, colored walls with a nice picture which made it look really nice, super close to the beach and the food court and so on. Free drinking water.

    Quite basic and a bit aged facilities, cleanness can be improved

    Nice location, close to the beach and the flamingo lagoon. Large room. The host doesn’t speak English but are very sweet. Could use the their kitchen (although it is not like a shared kitchen for the guests,but more like borrowing the kitchen of host’ house type of feeling. Good Wi-Fi which I heard it is not common in this island

    There was some weird material seemingly falling from the ceiling and accumulating on our stuff. We would clean it up and it would be back again in a few hours. Not sure what it was.

    Very friendly staff (just fyi, they don't speak a lick of English here but are still great). Room perfectly fine for the price. Good location close to all downtown stuff.

    Doesn’t have a beach view, but the price outweighs that amenity.

    Perfect location to walk everywhere, beach nearby. Hosts were very accommodating even moved our room when they couldn’t get our hot water working.
