Reviews Summary

"Lived here for about 18 months. Apart from the internet, it’s a really good spot. All the staff are super friendly. It’s quiet, no dogs or chickens or construction. It’s close to everything. Walking distance from Bingin beach. The nephew of harry (the owner) is a surf instructor should you want to learn."
