    We loved staying in this very special property. The home is so beautiful and has retained all its old charm while being comfortable with good facilities and air conditioning. It will remain one of the most remarkable stays of our trip! 😁

    Un endroit exceptionnel et insolite que je recommande vivement à ceux qui souhaitent vivre une expér

    J’ai adoré l’ambiance et la décoration de cette maison, à la fois très spacieuse et particulièrement lumineuse. La pièce principale offre une magnifique vue sur le jardin, le temple et la seconde partie de l’ensemble, avec même la possibilité d’apercevoir des libellules dès le petit matin. Le temple est absolument fabuleux, notamment pour ses collections bouddhistes et ses magnifiques statues. C’est un lieu vraiment original, hors des sentiers battus, qui offre une expérience très différente d’un hébergement classique.

    Manque de miroirs (impossible de se maquiller dans le batiment principal) La clim un peu bruyante.

    The temple is unique, and worth a try. However, book with caution. This is a property clearly not lived by the owners

    4 pillows on each bed Rooms are spacious and shower system is good. Good value; especially if you are in a group of 4 or more. Clean - though I found a big spider in the main bathroom Quiet neighborhood. It’s in a residential area, 1.6km from the main popular tourist attractions, but still our preferred choice for its quiet authentic neighborhood. Just 5 mins walk away, there is a convenience mart. If you want to be where the action is, then this place is not for you.

    In the land of the raising sun, the sun raises at 4:45am in May. With no black out blinds in the room, if you like to go to sleep and wake up in the dark, this room is not for you. I wore my eye mask and still the light was bright for me at 5am. To the owners. It will be good to have black out blinds in the rooms. Check in drama. Upon check in, I found 2 keys in the digital lock box. One for Kuri room and the other for Hanare room. Naturally, I wondered which is my room as I don’t want to occupy the wrong room, thinking another guest could be checking in after me. Through texting the company via the booking app , the communication was not clear and eventually, I discovered that my stay includes both rooms. The entier property is all yours during your stay. If only I was told ! No mirror in the main bedroom. I struggled to put my make up on even by using my phone camera. Then I discovered the other annexe bedroom has 2 mirrors ! 🙄 Not enough hooks to hang your clothes and towels in the main bedroom. To the owners, I think the mirror and hooks are something easy to fix.

    Original, calme et confortable. À conseiller

    Son originalité avec le temple, son calme, la localisation pas trop éloignée des transports ou magasins “de base” Bonne literie (futons dans la chambre living) Les équipements (Clim, chauffage que l’on a du allumer le matin, plaque de cuisson, …) Excellent rapport qualité prix Gentillesse et réactivité de l’hôte

    La toilette extérieure, peu agréable, et qui nécessite de vraiment sortir de la chambre. L’absence de miroir dans la partie principale (ni dans la toilette avec le lavabo ni dans la cabine de douche ni dans la zone wc douche)
