  • Hotel Javy Review score: 8

    “A great value. Is a very pretty hotel with secure gated parking. Checkin was easy. Room was spacious and clean. One bed was soft and other hard. AC worked good. The breakfast was quick, plentiful and good.”

  • “Super helpful and friendly people. It’s a family run hotel and that shows. Super location as well with nice hot springs and we also had one with our room that was amazing. The food and drinks are exceptional especially for the price.”

  • “★☆☆☆☆ Misleading, Outdated, and Absolutely Not 5-Star – Avoid This Place! I rarely leave harsh reviews, but this one is well-deserved. This hotel shamelessly markets itself as a 5-star property — in reality, it's a 2-star experience at best, and that’s being generous. Let’s start with the blatantly misleading photos and descriptions on the hotel’s website. What you see online looks clean, modern, and luxurious. What you actually get is a dated, run-down building that looks like it hasn’t been properly renovated in decades. The carpets are stained and worn, the furniture is dirty and outdated, and the entire place has an air of neglect. The hotel looks more like a tired budget motel than a supposedly premium hotel. Everything just felt grimy and unloved. The pool is laughably small — definitely not what was advertised. You’d be better off calling it a decorative water feature than an actual pool. The elevator was broken during my stay, which means dragging bags up and down stairs and undoable for anyone with a disability— completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one claiming to be 5-star. The so-called "garden view"? Don’t fall for it. Mine looked looked like a construction site, complete with noise, rubbish and sewer smell — hardly the relaxing retreat they promise online. The only redeeming quality of this place is the staff. They were genuinely kind, professional, and clearly doing their best in a bad situation. I truly feel for them, as they seem to be the only thing holding this sinking ship together. In summary: ✔️ Friendly staff ✖️ Everything else I strongly urge anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. There are far better options in the area that are honest about what they offer. This hotel is misleading, outdated, and overpriced. A complete disappointment”
