This property is completely falsely advertised online. It's is old, run down and the facilities are out of date. The local staff were lovely and helpful and are obviously doing what they can with what they have. It needs so much work. The bugs in the room on arrival was not ideal. Everything is old and run down. This is not a 3 star hotel and has been falsely advertised with misleading images on Expedia.

An extraordinary hotel in the middle of the city. The entrance, the many colours and plants make the stay special. The room was fine although there was little water pressure in the bathroom. The food in the restaurant was fine but not special. The staff is friendly and helpful. A minus point though is the location, it is far from the city itself.

Had a great time with the family. Although the restaurant is not fully open yet, they allowed us to bring food in the room so we don't have to order food outside all the time. Would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends. The staff are friendly and approachable. Note: The pool needs to be cleaned frequently for the guest to enjoy swimming.

Property was cute, especially for the price which was very reasonable. The restaurant overcharged and was slightly limited with options, and staff did nothing about the random guests that were smoking in the area, which was posted as a no smoking area, disturbing my meal.

The resort as a whole was nice and relaxing. Only a few staff members, very friendly and accommodating. There was no beach. The picture online where I booked had a picture of the beach, I should have known that there was no beach as it didn't list it in the amenities. A little misleading. It rained 90 percent of the time we were there.

The sculptures and decorations caught my attention in booking this hotel. Very unique. However, the restaurant is not always open which is totally different from other hotels and there wasn't any note about we have to inform them the night before if we want to dine in for breakfast or not. First night we did have the chance to eat because we informed them the night before since we will leave early, before 7 am (open time), however the next day which was Sunday we didn't have breakfast and no one was around. We did not know that they close the restaurant on Sunday and we didn't inform them the night before because we though they will be open at 7 am. It wasn't us who didn't know, we saw many guests coming to the reception as well asking for breakfast and no one was around. I think it is best to always include breakfast during the stay esp that the location does not have any restaurant close by that guests can walk. Pick up from tours are always between 7-8 am so having inhouse breakfast would be ideal. Staff are all nice and accommodating. No attitudes. In rooms- we don't have thermos or water heater for coffee or noodles if we want to have snacks which would have been nice to have since guests come from different time zone and may need to have something warm anytime.

Cute spot with friendly staff

Deep Forest Garden Inn was a very nice stay. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and did the job for a single night. As well as the pool and garden area was very nice too. The only downside was that the location didn't have many shops or restaurants within walking distance. Overall a great stay
