Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Two very bad things, and other pretty bad things.
1. There is a different menu for Westerners. We noticed other guests were eating meals that were not on our menu, and the next day for breakfast the same thing happened - we were given a Western breakfast (no menu, no order taken, just given), and the other guests had a Thai breakfast. I then found the Thai menu, and discovered that it was a book, with more than triple the number of meal options. Once asked about this (using a translation app) the host showed her colleagues, and they all laughed, before she responded (with app): "We gave you a Western breakfast because you are Westerners".
2. We barely slept the first night because of the cold, and the very thin bedding (January). The next night we got an extra duvet and 4 blankets, which were enough to keep us warm (but bathroom visits were uncomfortable).
Other things which are really quite bad, but not as bad as things 1 & 2:
Restaurant closes at 7,
Large openings for mosquitos in room,
Smaller holes plugged with tissue paper (seriously),
Toilet not attached to floor (don't shift your weight!),
Sink is outside, in full view of the street, and there's nowhere to put anything (not even the floor - toothbrush goes in your pocket?)
Nowhere to put anything - just the floor (nowhere at all outside),
Deck boards outside are really, really far apart (2-3in) - do not drop your phone! Tread carefully!
Don't stay here! But stay nearby, because it's very beautiful.
