Overall it is a good place to stay. Two things to be aware of. 1) For Americans, the room is warm and stuffy. It was a high of 60s/low 70s when we stayed but the room was still warm. A fan and dehumidifier are provided and do help but when you are used to A/C, it's an adjustment. We kept the back door cracked at night to try and help get cool air flow. 2) The wifi/Internet is unreliable. During the morning/mid day it worked fine the few times we were in the room. However, at night between 8pm-1am the WiFi was hit or miss and for the 7 nights we stayed, it was mostly a miss. I did a speed test every night and it ranged from unable to connect to the server to .14mbps at the slow end to 2.84mbps at the fast end. During the morning it would test at 80mbps but during those hours at night the Internet was out as much as it worked. We are lucky one phone had an international data plan or we would not have been able to look up anything at night/get any work done. Overall Smauel is a good host and the place is good for the price but beware if you need a reliable internet access, you will need to look elsewhere.
