We were looking for a cheap place to stay for the first night and last night of our holiday, the rest of the time was in a villa. We chose Sayang Maha Mertha because it was cheap and in a good location. Oh were we disappointed. We should have paid a bit extra and stayed somewhere nicer. The room stunk like old mothballs mixed with cigarettes. There were centipedes crawling all over the floor. The sheets were supposed to be white but were a greyish brown colour and covered in stains. There were mosquitos all night buzzing around. Thank god we bought our own portacot for our baby... I hate to think what theirs would have been like. We arrived at 11pm, if we had arrived earlier I wouldn't have stayed. Needless to say we didn't stay the last night that we had booked. Ended up staying at Ida our last night. I have stayed in many cheap hotels and losmans over the years but this was probably the worst I have stayed in. Hopefully it has improved since we stayed there. It may have just been our room... but I doubt it.
I should also say that if you have a hotel transfer booked with them they may not pick you up. We were waiting at the airport for about 1/2hour for them (with a 6 month old baby) before my husband went and bought a sim card and called to find out why they weren't there. He was told sorry our van broken you catch taxi!
My thought are if you haven't paid yet dont!!! Find somewhere else.
