Kim's Family Hotel

Reliable and good communication with friendly staff.

They are very responsive to querries prior to the check-in. Staff are very accommodating, they allowed us to leave our bags when we arrived early and to take the breakfast ahead of time because we will check out early the next day. Its good for solo budget traveler, has basic commodities. Towels are supposedly rented but they offered to us free. If you want to tour in baichay area it is a good place to stay but if your going to tauchau port it is 10-20 minutes ride from there. They also offered different tours in the homestay.

Towels should be free.

The location was in a separate mansion on a hill. The owner was very helpful in bringing our luggage up there as it was steep. I also got a motorbike ride to the accommodation 😃 The rooms are very spacious, with generous balconies. Built to last with marble floors and solid furniture. The owner put the table tennis 🏓 table up for us which was great ! They also changed some money into cash which was very helpful and the breakfast was nice. Excellent value for money !

You need to be comfortable using Grab as it is located a bit out of the foreshore area. A shade over the large outdoor area where we played table tennis could encourage more use of this large space in the hot weather. Could supply handwash in the bathroom. Grab rail or step for bath handy for older people.

I got an upgrade from booking.com which was good but the room doesn’t look that good at night as it does in the picture. It does look much better in the day with the windows open.

the room was facing the road and traffic was loud. Don’t expect anything luxurious. It was very basic. I fought with the owner because he told me he would pick me up but then he booked a taxi and told me to pay him. He did pay half but it was still very expensive and he was rude for a while but then the tension passed and it was fine.
