Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms have shared bathrooms — The triple room in particular comes with a shared bathroom, which may not suit all travelers.
- Value score is lower than other categories — Guests rated value at 7.2, slightly below the property’s overall 7.7, suggesting some saw the price as a touch high for what was offered.
- Limited room variety — With just three room types and no private bathroom options listed, the choice is narrow for a 15-room guesthouse.
- No pets allowed — If you’re traveling with an animal, this isn’t the place – the policy is no pets.
