2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was dirty, broken door glass, broken bedlinen, dirty furniture and floors, noisy... we asked for another blanket, which we got, but it smelled like sweat. The bathroom hadcthe same smell. We were awoken between 3 and 4 in the morning by shouts coming from the road to the person who was looking after the property. These people entered the guesthouse and were extremely noisy. We left the guesthouse soon after these people arrived (about 04h25), because we did not feel safe.

Give this dump a wide berth.

The staff member is very helpful and service oriented, however he has a poison chalice in managing this run-down property. The conditions are appalling, the premises are filthy, crumbling and I refused to sleep in the disgusting bed, using a sleeping bag that fortunately, I travel with. I have no clue why this dump is on hotels.com. It is exceptionally poor value for money. If I found it in remote Mongolia with no other options available, I would expect the fee to be a couple of USD at most.
