Players coming to Jakarta, are happy to find different types of food in the village, but they have some complaints from small rooms available to stay. An Indian player said the rooms here are small. Each room has three beds and one bathroom. It would have been nice to have a little more space. You feel a bit uncomfortable, but there is not much trouble.
