Tolles Erlebnis - hätte länger bleiben sollen
Pros:

Etwas aussergewöhnliches ist es auf jeden Fall. Man muss es etwas abgelegen mögen - es ist zwar gut beleuchtet, aber man ist schon etwas abgeschieden. Sehr schönes Bett und Bad / da fehlt es an nichts. Man kann das Leitungswasser trinken ! Das Frühstück ist wunderbar. Die ganze Anlage ist sehenswert. Sonnenaufgang aus dem Bett oder Sterne von der Hängematte. Und Julia hat mit ihrer Yoga-Stunde das Ganze perfekt gemacht.

Cons:

Ab und zu kleiner Hänger mit dem Strom sodass Licht und WLan wackelt. „Geländegängig“ sollte man schon sein.

Interesting experience for someone looking for something different
Pros:

This was a very interesting experience given the atypical type of room. That is a great alternative to try something new. Overall a very good experience, with very friendly staff and comfortable room.

Cons:

The rooms are a bit far from the parking lot as well from the restaurant. Definitely manageable to move around on foot but given the weather made it unpleasant. The staff however helped a couple of times giving a ride with their carts that are the ones allowed to move around the hotel - this helped especially when taking the bags to the room and taking back to the car during checkout.
