"The hotel is located in a remote area connected only by a rough gravel road with plenty of holes. The room is tiny, merely 10 sq meters. One of the beds is sacky. The shower spills water and wet the rest of the bathroom. Dinner was disappointing, but there really isn't any other choices given how remote the hotel is. Breakfast is acceptable with no surprise."

"My partner and I were passing thru and stayed here for one evening. Out of all of the places we stayed this one was one our favourites. It was just so cozy and unique. Our check in was simple, we were not greeted by staff but were given easy instructions. We stayed in one of the trucks. The room was small very small.. but it was a fun and unique experience and fine for an evening. We did notice many other rooms that were bigger but we really wanted to stay in the truck! We also had our own private bathroom which is always a plus. What we really liked about this property was its restaurant! You have to take off your shoes when entering but wow, it was just a great atmosphere. Our server was so friendly and kind, he even offered us fresh tomatoes to try straight from the garden. They have cozy sitting spaces, I noticed a dart board, they even have a really cool and unique pool located outside. Breakfast was included. Overall this was a great find and a fun stay. I do recommend this place if you’re considering. Great for solo travellers, partners, groups and families. Thank you for the wonderful stay!"
