What recent reviews say

Many guests find the apartments spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a riverside location and kids pool. Staff respond quickly to requests and assist with late check-ins. However, chronic elevator shortages force guests to wait 30 minutes to an hour, and security flaws have left guests frightened when strangers gained entry via shared door codes.

Watch-outs

Homestay Haji Joret

4.5(11)✓ Google-verified

Guests value the authentic village setting and friendly local community. The house is well-kept, spacious enough for large groups, and positioned near the river with a jogging path; however, it offers limited amenities (no cooking, bring your own toiletries).
