"Amazing place. The space of the room and view are really spectacular. The host, who I only communicated with over text, was responsive. My only caution is that this place is fairly remote meaning the power/internet can go out and if it rains hard the little river you have to cross to get there can become a burden. Bring everything you need to chill for a few days."

8/10 Good
"Great experience here. Only reason for the 4 star overall was because the price is high for what you get, the free breakfast was very limited due to the season we went and the jacuzzi’s were under maintenance so couldn’t be used."
