We came across River One Residence after doing our homework on TripAdvisor...and it was our first ever decision to stay at a guest house/lodge. Apart from being unsure how the stay would turn out, we also didn't know what to expect from shared bathrooms.

This place is great. It is certainly one of the cleanest guesthouses I've ever stayed in.

We stayed here for 2 nights, and were very impressed by the welcome we received. It's basic but has everything you need for a pleasant stay in this fascinating town.
