Payment mix up left a sour taste
Reviewed By Suraj SWe booked one night at Eljie hotel after a recommendation from a friend. We got a great deal on Agoda, with a VIP Room priced at IDR228,000. For those coming from the airport, we were told there is no public transport to the city and the only choice is a taxi. Grab and GO-JEK is not yet available in Gorontalo. After negotiating hard with the taxi drivers, and also talking with a tourist who was departing from the airport, we found that there is a standard price of around IDR150,000 to the city. We later heard that somebody got a price of IDR120,000 after walking out of the airport. Arriving at Eljie, we realized it is a sharia hotel, and the signs in the room say the hotel does not accept unmarried couples and requests guests not to wear shorts. But the unmarried couple requirement is not uncommon in Indonesia and I saw people wearing shorts inside, so it is not really that strict. The hotel allowed us to check in when we arrived at 9am, but the receptionist on the desk at the time was not experienced as he didn’t know how to handle our booking through agoda, did not request payment (we booked for payment on arrival) and when I asked about renting a motorbike or the menu for the hotel's restaurant, he told me to ask another receptionist later. We later found that it is not possible to rent a motorbike from the hotel and there is a menu in the room. Not all staff speak English but they are mostly willing to help and friendly. Breakfast was yellow rice, bakwan (fried snack), green vegetables, watermelon and tea and coffee. Laundry at the hotel is a little expensive as they charge per piece, so the receptionist advised to walk down the road to find a laundry place. If you turn left as you leave the hotel and walk for ten minutes, there is a laundry place that charges by the kilo. We paid IDR40,000 for 4.1kg for the next day service and the staff were very helpful. The VIP room is like a throwback to the 1980s, but it was spacious and clean. The bed is a good size and there is a comfortable sofa area. There is also a large tv but without English channels, and tea, coffee and mineral water is provided in the room. There is also a water cooler in the dining area on the ground floor if you need to top up. The bathroom was basic but also clean. Attached to the hotel is a tour desk. The staff don’t speak english but they have their services translated into English in a small catalogue. We didn’t book a tour, but from what we saw the prices are very reasonable. For example, the whale shark tour which includes transport, a glass bottom boat tour, swim with whale shark including snorkel equipment and prawn food, trip to a cave and finally to a gift shop was IDR700,000. However, while we were there we were told it was not the season to see the whale sharks so unfortunately we did not go. Directly in front of the hotel is a small shack selling standard Indonesian food. We ordered roti bakar and fries which was tasty and good value, and the women working there were very friendly. Opposite the hotel is a family karaoke place, and around the corner there is a place called basic food where we had dinner. The food there was also standard Indonesian fare but the taste was excellent and the prices were low. We paid IDR30,000 for noodles, chicken and rice and two iced teas. The staff there were also very friendly. Overall we were quite happy, but then in the evening we got a phone call from a senior manager telling us we had not paid yet, with a tone as if we were avoiding payment. We were not asked to pay when checking in and I had spoken with a number of staff throughout the day, and at no point were we requested to pay. What’s more, on the phone we were told the price for the room was IDR440,000, which is the list price for the room. But we had booked using agoda with the price advertised as IDR228,000. After retrieving my booking confirmation, I went the receptionist who told me if I wanted the agoda price I would have to move rooms. But I said no, because we had booked the vip room. The hotel could not retrieve their own records on my booking to check the price. After both of us repeated this point a number of times which was very frustrating, the manager called the owner. After checking my confirmation properly the owner said I should pay the price I booked - IDR228,000. The senior manager then acted as if she was doing me a favor, and even worse did not apologize. She then said she hadn’t seen my ID, to which I pointed out the receptionist had made a copy in the morning. In sum, the rooms were dated but clean and spacious, the location is strategic to nearby amenities and our stay was pleasant and good value for the price we paid. However, the payment mix up was very frustrating, at the very least the manager should have apologized for their error instead of making us feel like criminals. Be sure to print out your confirmation if you book through agoda and tell the staff you want to pay when you arrive.

Likely the best place in GTO for travelers
Reviewed By LMilichIf you come here, keep in mind that this is an extended family compound, and that you'll be sharing space with the family and its menagerie of animals. In most ways, this is a positive, and Mimin will go the extra mile to be inclusive. Cleanliness is a bit of an issue. We stayed a week, and the kitchen area early in the mornings is carpeted in the debris of the previous day, which of course attracts flies. Other than this, the room was spotless, the mattress very comfortable, the fan alone perfectly adequate for nighttime cooling - blanket for sure needed! The bathroom is spacious (mirror ought to be cleaned, though), the shower is cold water yet plenty warm enough by late afternoon. The (western) toilet is not set up to flush, which must be done using a scoop. Breakfast: a choice among nasi goreng, nasi kuning, or toast/egg. Buy your own fruit and place it in the fridge, though. Wifi was good and reliable. We came to dive with Miguel's. The property is 11+ km from Miguel's (which is in the Pabean area of town), but Pak Irfan (a neighbor of Mimin's) is happy to do the shuttle, and is reliable. He'll do airport pickup too - but his car is quite small, so if you arrive with a mountain of luggage (or more than 2 people), this might pose a problem. WA him at 0821-8778-9309. The nearby national park is evidently closed to visitors at the moment, for Covid reasons. This makes slim pickings indeed for things to do, other than diving. Gorontalo town doesn't have much to offer, though now with modernity sweeping through, it has a mall with JCo and its excellent frozen yoghurt. Walking from Mimin's to Limboto lake will fill a couple of hours of idle time, but there's nothing to see there except people fishing. We didn't go to the ruins of the Portuguese fort - shrug, why bother? One positive of Gorontalo is that the people are very friendly.

Slechtste beslissing ooit!
Reviewed By Mrlou89Het hotel was dronker grauw somber en gewoonweg vreselijk. De kamer was basic zonder wasbak of douche. Het bed was smerig en er was geen muskietennet. Maar er waren wel erg veel muggen. Er is wel een arco aanwezig maar deze stond recht op het bed gericht. Het raam was dicht getimmerd met een stuk hout. Het ontbijt was te smerig voor woorden dus hebben deze maar overgeslagen. Om de ellende te compenseren zijn we naar het Maqna hotel gegaan. Kortom geen aanrader!
