Intermittent Wi-Fi connection
Due to the weak and unstable Wi-Fi especially inside the rooms, most guests were not able to fully enjoy their stay. The Internet signal was irregular and was not working most of the time which lasted for a few days.

No air-conditioning system available in some rooms
There are no air-conditioning units available inside some rooms. Although there were fans provided, they were not enough to cool the whole place especially during a hot afternoon so most guests felt like they were in a sauna or steam rooms.
