This home has a bug problem. The house is quaint and the location is fantastic but we saw at least 4 cockroaches and swarms of small beetles in the house. The swarm of small beetles was in the second bedroom and they were so bad I slept on the couch the second night. I do understand that this house is in the rainforest and bugs are a thing, but over the years I have travelled to numerous rainforest and tropical locations and have never seen as many bugs in a rented house as I saw in this one.
The host did leave a manual that helped identify the bugs we saw but honestly it didn’t provide me with much peace. I wish I had known that the house had an active bug issue when booking as I would have booked elsewhere. I want to give the host credit - he did explain each of the bugs and talked about what he was doing to fight them but it didn’t help my situation as they were still alive when I was there.
