Amazing!!
Pros:

The owner and staff are so nice and helpful. The price was super cheap and I was worried, but the stay was actually really good! Since everyone in the village knows Complexo Alemanha, it was easy to get back to the lodge.

Cons:

I should have brought something for mosquito bites.

Very poor
Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

I went out to do some shopping outside the lodge and I returned and checked out. When I got to the place I was staying. I found USD 100 missing from my purse. I was very upset. I did not mention anything to the owner as I had already left and everyone would have denied anyway
