Rooms
Earth Village B&B offers an interesting room type that has captured the curiosity of guests. Despite its small size, the rooms are praised for their simple and neat decoration, which contributes to a comfortable atmosphere. The B&B’s self-service check-in is noted for its convenience, making the arrival process smoother for travelers.

However, the establishment struggles with some maintenance issues that affect the overall experience. Common concerns include dim lighting, peeling paint on the walls, and an unpleasant musty smell. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with some areas, such as the room itself, receiving positive feedback, while other areas, like sheets and blankets, fall short. The rooms do not match the photos provided, leading to disappointment in their actual condition.

Practical elements are also problematic, such as the height and usability of the water heater switch, and the weak hot water dispensing system. The bathroom exhaust fan is broken, adding to ventilation issues, and the small bathroom size may not meet every traveler’s needs. While the room atmosphere is comfortable, certain aspects like the fan covered in thick dust and loose floorboards pose safety concerns that require attention.

Despite being a budget-friendly choice, guests found the small bathroom spaces and lack of thorough cleaning to be significant drawbacks, overshadowing other potentially redeeming aspects of their stay. Overall, the lack of attention to cleanliness poses challenges for guests seeking a comfortable and hygienic visit.
