Schöne Unterkunft am See mit Garten
Pros:

Liebevoll geführte Unterkunft mit Garten in dem Schmetterlinge beobachten kann. Grosse Zimmer. Direkt am See, mit Sonnenaufgang

Cons:

Etwas ausserhalb, für uns als TukTuk Fahrer kein Problem.
Englisch könnte besser sein.

Good for the budget, nice people and good location.
Pros:

Good location beside the lake but no lake view. Only a few minutes by Tuk Tuk to all the local sights and temples etc. Staff were friendly but limited English.

Cons:

The room wasn't dirty but little attention to detail with a cockroach (always a possibility in these sorts of forrest/ water locations) and a couple of unwanted hairs around.

Pros:

The room was newly decorated and spacious with separate shower and toilet rooms. This family run hotel is in a quiet location not far from tge lake and everyone is very helpful and friendly. The temples can be seen from the lakeshore and give lovely reflections at night.

Cons:

Unfortunately renovation works took place above my room from early morning, hence the lower rating.

Great location by the lake ,language was tricky
Pros:

It was beside the lake and a tranquil spot away from the city. The room was great and spacious. You could walk or cycle all the way around the lake. Good to visit ancient sites. The garden was peaceful and well kept.

Cons:

As others have said the language barrier here was more pronounced. Staff waiting in the room for a tip it was awkward. We were overcharged and it was difficult to explain.

Pros:

Bella stanza, molto grande e silenziosa. Letto comodo.
Personale gentile e disponibile.
La struttura si trova vicino al lago da dove si può fare una bella passeggiata e raggiungere alcuni templi ed il giardino reale.
Buona scelta sia per la colazione che per la cena.
Possibilità di prenotare taxi e fare massaggi.

Cons:

Tutto ok ma ho un consiglio per gli ospiti: la stanza non ha finestre ma solo una porta a vetri, di notte è molto calda ed il ventilatore è rumoroso. Consiglio di utilizzare l aria condizionata (a pagamento).

Nos gustó mucho donde estaba hubo casi ya que buscábamos tranquilidad y estaba apartado del bullicio de la ciudad.
