Nice, clean room and bathroom. Hot water and AC. Family was welcoming and helpful. Did the safari through the owner. Just be wary of hidden costs. Nothing offered is free (breakfast, dinner, tea, water, bikes etc.) We didn’t know this as we weren’t told beforehand so had a surprising final bill. Other than this, our stay was really lovely!

Lovely stay, amazing facilities and price. Helpful family who helped me organise a cycle tour of the ancient city. It was private and a reasonable price.
