    The room was impeccably clean and fairly quiet, not to mention views over garden from the window. It was convenient having a safe, a work desk, and a dining area. The location was great and excellent, close to the beach, convenient to go everywhere. After long day I visited Leaf & Vine for a couple of drinks.

    What an excellent stay, no complaints whatsoever. Low-budget hotel, best staff and unbeatable location. A good choice of outstanding food. Big size and fairly quiet room with a view to garden. Location so close to a cute garden as well as all the shops. Also, close to everything;))

    I booked it many times and can recommend. I loved to be here, everything was perfect. I booked a big room with a view of the garden. Most of the staff were wonderfully friendly and best. This accommodation was in the central location close to the center.

    Had a good new year's experience. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Good location, close to the beach and with plenty of restaurant options nearby. Good Wi-Fi, fast and reliable.

    Room was not very clean, dirty floors and bed sheets had stains. Noisy room, could hear every sound from outside and the hallway.

    The location of this place was really convenient, as it was close to the center and within walking distance to the beach. There was also a restaurant next door that served great food at all hours of the day. the room was comfortable with basic amenities provided such as mosquito nets. the staff were friendly, however, the breakfast could have been better.

    The noise level was quite high due to the proximity to the main road, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed the family-like atmosphere at the inn. The owner, Murshith, went above and beyond to help me with anything I needed. He arranged surf lessons and even took me on a tuk-tuk safari, where we saw elephants, crocodiles, and more. The location was great, with good restaurants nearby and the beach within walking distance. The breakfast was delicious, and the communal area outside the rooms was a cool place to relax.

    Felt like royalty, no complaints whatsoever.

    The rooms at Wanderlust Inn are super cozy with a private bathroom and a bidet. It's like having a spa in your own room! Some rooms even have a lovely balcony where you can enjoy the view and soak up the sunshine. Perfect for lazy mornings. All the rooms here have a comfy seating area, so you can relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the air conditioning in the double room I stayed in. It felt a bit too chilly for my liking.

    Had a blast at this place! The garden was lovely, the terrace made for great chill sessions, and the food at the restaurant was mouthwatering. Too bad I couldn't bring the garden and terrace with me when I left.

    Such a shame they didn't have a teleportation service to bring me back whenever I wanted. But hey, who needs that when you can just book another fantastic stay, right?
