Stay was generally ok. Facilities were adequate, though the microwave had plainly not functioned for a lengthy period of time.
The 10 MR/day tax charge to each person for occupation of a dormitory room bed is incorrect. This was not charged to me for similar dormitory occupation in a Kuala Lumper hostel. Why is this charge being levied on guests, at least those booking through Booking.com. You will never convince me the owner is paying the Malaysian Government 120MR/day in tax for full occupancy of the 12- person dormitory I was bunked in. The most the Government would expect is 10MR/day/room, no matter how many guests sleep in the room.

"CLOSED" shown on the glass of main door which is locked all the time, doubted it's really closed?
