Melly Home Stay

Cost was 40000 per night, and you get what you pay for. The room itself is decent enough for a night’s sleep, but I chose not to shower in the evening due to the backroom being completely flooded (a normal occurrence everywhere in Singkil, being next to the swamp). The bathroom (squatting toilet, no shower) was dirty with cigarettes and yellow water.nnOn the flip side, however, the street itself is very pleasant and the hosts are friendly, helpful, and engaging. It’s well worth it to visit any of the coffee shops around the village to meet the locals. During my stay the host asked me many questions about my travels and told me about Singkil.nnIt’s a good enough place to spend the night and then catch a becak or hitchhike to the harbour for the ferry to Pulau Banyak the next day. However, there are also plenty of hotels near the harbour area if you care about cleanliness.
