Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was absolutely incredible! The rooms were always clean and comfortable with a breathtaking view. The perfect service from the very friendly and helpful staff, along with impeccable cleanliness and very good food, made the experience even better. The rooms were nicely decorated in a local style with a great attention to detail, spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a private terrace and an amazing bathroom.
My stay at Matlai by Inge was absolutely amazing. The rooms are just perfect with everything you could possibly need, including a private terrace and a stunning bathroom. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, with everyone being incredibly friendly and helpful. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the food was delicious, beautifully prepared every day. The only downside was the slightly higher price, but considering the value for money, it was worth every penny.
