Negative Reviews
negative:
Dirty and disappointing.
Counan Guest House rooms are dirty and extremely rough around the edges. The entire property is poorly maintained and extremely disappointing. It’s one thing to have a dated or budget accommodation but the minimal expectation is that it will be kept clean
negative:
Poor service.

negative:
