Pros:

La ubicación es un poco complicada cuando no se lleva vehículo propio

Cons:

Falla en el agua caliente el segundo día.
Colchón muy duro y almohadas en muy mal estado.
No cuenta con espejo ni espacios para colocar artículos de higiene personal en el baño
No cuenta con espacios para colgar ropa, ni para colocar artículos personales en la habitación
El espacio entre la puerta y el piso es muy alto, lo que permite que entre el aire frío a la habitación

Fantastic view and staff, beware of not getting the room you booked.
Pros:

The location and view was amazing. Cute baby and young family that run it. I met very interesting people and loved chillin there, the food was very good and a good value. Hot water!!

Cons:

I booked a family room with a window and a view with a balcony. I was given a jail like "cell" that was freezing (received no sun) and was next to a patio that hard a super bright light on and people chillin outside which was loud. I was told the night I arrived I would get the room I booked the next day. But was told later and later again and I never got to be in the room I wanted. I understand I had to switch my dates due to a getting into an accident and not being able to walk well. I was given more blankets the next night so I was able to sleep in the freezing, clearly hastily finished room.

Ended up renting a diff place due to the bathrooms.
Pros:

Beautiful art, room was clean and cozy, host was kind and welcoming. They speak only Spanish.

Cons:

If you’re a rugged traveller you won’t mind the bathrooms.

Theives and liars
Pros:

Nothing, it was horrible

Cons:

The room smelled bad, it was constantly noisy, the grounds were trashy. And at the end the owner came into our room making a big fuss and demanding an extra 500 pesos for no reason. It was a huge ripoff and I guess that's what I get for choosing the cheapest room available. Would never recommend this place that is run by thieves and liars

The place to stay!
Pros:

Amazing rooms with cool art, fire place and balcony with beautiful views. The Staff were lovely and beyond helpful, with great food too. Completely blew expectations out the water.

They have an amazing roof you can sit on and admire the views as well. Hope to go back one day.

Cons:

Nothing

Very basic accomodation
Pros:

I ended up not staying here, partially because another place opened up which I preferred, and partially because it wasn't what I expected. There's nothing wrong with it technically, but it just was very basic, nothing but a room with a bed and bathroom. The people were very nice but I ended up leaving and abandoning my reservation.

Cons:

Bed was a low quality mattress with no mattress pad and just a thin set of sheets. The power outlet was hanging out of the wall. No decorations or anything to spruce it up or create a nice feel.

Better than sleeping on the streets
Pros:

It had a roof, a bed, and a handful of warm blankets to survive the frigid nights.

Cons:

Had I known it was essentially a step above camping, I would’ve likely went somewhere else. There were bugs in the bathroom sink, the toilet’s handle was broken, the shower’s water was unbelievably cold, and the room itself was very dusty with spider webs everywhere.
