22/06/2010	Standard Location Value	We arranged our bungalow and 2-day volcano trek through Ruben, the owner of the bungalows. Although the overall experience was memorable and adventurous, I was disappointed with the value, reliability, and quality of the accommodation and tourism services provided by Ruben. Bangwere is in a beautiful location on a cliff, reachable by boat (10,000 vatu) from Craig Cove (about 3 hour trip). We also enjoyed the hearty meals and the walk to the village of Ranvetlam at night for kava and dancing. However, we found the standard of accommodation to be disappointing and severely overpriced (at $30/person, or $60/bungalow in our case). While the bungalows are cute from the outside, they are very basic, with makeshift walls and floors and spiders. No mosquito net was provided, and the mosquito coil stopped working. Roosters were noisy, especially after 5 AM. It was not a pleasant sleep. The "western" shared bathroom unit was ok, but the running water was only turned on in the morning.
