There were so many things, but overall, all the staff were very hardworking, kind and good people!
First of all, it seems that the reservation for 4 nights that I had made on Trip.com was not made at the time of check-in. There are many staff members, but there are only about two staff members who can communicate in English without any problems, and it was difficult to find them every time lol.
I was hurriedly guided to my room, but I couldn't find the air conditioner remote control, and a staff member just brought me a towel (probably the room was hastily provided, so it was not fully prepared?) When I asked for the remote control at that time, they brought it to me relatively quickly. The wi-fi password was handwritten on the phone, but it was faded and I couldn't read it, so I looked for a staff member again and asked lol.
I thought there would be hot water, but it was room temperature (it was a little cold at first, but if you try hard to take a shower, it feels like it's getting warmer for some reason, but it was exactly the same temperature lol) and the water pressure was quite weak. I asked the staff, but it seems that the temperature probably can't be changed. I asked them for at least the water pressure, and it improved a little. However, the water pressure was weak again the next night, so I asked them to adjust the water pressure every day for four days before taking a shower. When the staff came to check the water pressure, they stood on the bath mat with their shoes on, and the bath mat turned black because the shoes were wet with water... This happened two days in a row, so we told them that the water pressure had improved and it was okay to check it. It may be a cultural difference, but I guess they don't care about guests' bath mats turning black.
The laundry service, free bicycle rental, and currency exchange that were listed on Trip.com (same as ***********) were not available lol
The location is nice, right in front of the sea. It's a 10-20 minute walk to the town, but I was so scared of the stray dogs at night (they sleep and relax during the day, but are super active at night...) that I had to use a tuk-tuk every time.
The hotel itself is not bad, but the shower was the only thing that bothered me. There were also frequent power outages every day. (It wasn't particularly difficult, but it sometimes took several hours lol)
The staff were all really trying to solve the problem and listen to our requests. They were very calm and friendly, and always had a shy smile lol
However, their English was quite weak, so it was necessary to be patient and communicate.
Good hotel!!!
We spent 7 nights in it
The owners are very hospitality and responsive, prepared for us big shrimps and carried on the Marble Beach, of course for a separate fee.
Breakfasts were not very diverse but big and saturated)
The hired worker, a tall young man very much helped us with the kid, played with him while we ate) the child himself asked for him on the handles))
The girls who cooked us breakfast were also very nice and kind.
Our room was on the third floor and we had a whole veranda - it was very convenient - to play with the child, to hang wet clothes, to look at stars or to drink morning coffee, the husband smoked.
The location is also good - the third house from the beach) The beach is quite clean, much cleaner than in the tourist area of Uppuvelli.
There are many shops with fruit and cafes, where locals eat - not as insabious as in tourist restaurants, but also delicious and 3 times cheaper
From the downsides
-in the room there was no place to lay or hang clothes-no closet, no hooks, nothing to hang shoulders-we had a mountain in the suitcase and around. Many clothes were hanging on the veranda
'the fence has always had a flock of local homeless dogs, they are harmless but noisy
- No hot water. While it was cloudy was not comfortable to wash, then it became normal)
-WiFi works badly, on the veranda caught better
-TV isn 't available, he certainly wasn 't declared, but it turned out to be boring to wait for the sunset without it
We are unlikely to return here again because of the great variety of hotels , but for not very attractive tourists the place will be very even suitable )

MMr Adam PorterGreat location just a short walk from the beach. Dennis was our host when we were there and he was absolutely fantastic, recommended good restaurants, helped organise transport, looked after us at breakfast and made you feel extremely welcome. Rooms are certainly ok for the price you’re paying but refurbishment is needed. Showers didn’t seem to have hot water, air conditioning was great though.

GGuest UserMy friend and I stayed here for two days. The service was very good. I bought beef and crab sea shrimp to the kitchen for processing. The staff was still helping. It was very convenient to walk out for less than 3 minutes. It was super beautiful to watch the sunrise and sunset. The hotel environment is also better, clean and hygienic. If you go again, you must choose this one.
MMaso Maso (Maso)This is budget accomodation. In no particular order. Good Wi Fi, comfortable bed with a good mosquito net. Room ok size, as was the bathroom. No hot water. A stone throw from the beach and plenty of good quality restaraunts and cafes nearby. Of note was a good hand made jewellery shop, on the main road, which makes silver jewellery. Repairs can also be done at the same shop.
MMariiaОтель в общем нам понравился, но соседская собака.. она лает просто так и ночью плохо спит..
В комнате кондиционер и вентилятор. При заезде в номере была вода, но по продлению ее не добавляют. Через трип ком завтраки платные, 1000руп на двоих, нам не понравился первый, больше не просили.
Жить можно)
LLisa_AХороший отель, ни чуть не пожалели, что остановились здесь. Вкусные завтраки, вкусные ужины, хороший чистый бассейн и очень приветливый персонал. В комнате пахнет очень вкусно - лемонграсом. Минус комнаты - сильная слышимость. Мы пытались уснуть пораньше, так как предстоял ранний подъем но до 10 вечера слышали, как соседи звенели вилками и болтали, ужиная.
Еще один минус - расположение кондиционера. Он дует прямо на кровать, а одеял в отеле нет, только простыни. С кондиционером холодно, без него - жарко 😁
Но в целом, эти два минуса не перекрыли позитивный настрой, так как отель показался нам очень классным. Отдельный плюс я хочу отметить за книжку с заданиями, которую дали моему сыну. Очень много интересных заданий, которые он выполнял, пока ожидал ужин, или в течение дня.
По прохождении книжки есть подарок - мороженое.
Очень мило.
Кстати, в пяти минутах от отеля чудесный пляж! 🥰 и там почти нет людей.
GGuest UserSiamo stati qui due notti, la famiglia è molto disponibile e cordiale. Abbiamo anche fatto qui colazione, hanno un salone comune al piano terra dove ad ogni camera/gruppo viene servita. Le stanze sono in buono stato ma sulla pulizia si può fare di meglio, soprattutto nel bagno.
