Didn't stay here , just had lunch - absolute best burgers in town - really good , make sure you have one . Will definately will be going back for more , thanks - your food is great . , looking forward to returning .

I stayed 3 nights and it was perfect. Gary is very very nice and very helpful if you need something. The breakfast is big and very good. The room was clean. Try the burger downstairs, it's delicious ! Just a little bit noisy because it's very close to the main road.

Looking for clean rooms? Aircon? Breakfast included? We stayed in the newer rooms, but also had one night in the older rooms. Would have been happy to stay in the older. The staff are great. Gary and Tyo are brilliant. Have any questions about the local area, if Gary can't answer it, it isn't worth knowing. Breakfast is included in... More

Spent couple of nights here in September 2012. Thanks to Gary and Tyo, this place is quite a laid back yet well kept. Breakfast was great as noted by other reviewers.

Great place, clean and friendly. Tyo and her husband Gary are warm and friendly to everyone.

Have also had the pleasure of a Hamburger and... More

We left Ari today after spending three wonderful nights with Gary and Tyo. We changed our room after the first night to an AC room. The breakfast cooked by Tyo is really great, keeps you going for the day. We will defiantly come and visit again. If you need to hire a bike or car speak to Gary and he... More

The host Gary makes this place a joy to stay at, nothing is too much trouble and his western food is simple but delicious. I booked one of the air con rooms(9) and it is like having your own apartment, comprehensively kitted out with A/C, fan, lcd, dvd, fridge and even your own cooking range outside, complete with kettle, pans,...

I've been here on four occasions now. I went twice on one trip around Indonesia and twice on the second trip a year and a half later. I've stayed in hostels and hotels all over and this is by far the most homely and friendly place I've been, on my second trip around they even managed to recognise my face... More

My wife and I turned up without booking and were immediately offered a beer by Gary, the owner, who then introduced us to everyone in the bar/ cafe and made us feel really welcome. We took room 13 and for the price it was really good value. The bed was large and comfy, the aircon worked well, the shower was... More
