Pros:

ausblick und lage war gut

Cons:

Der Eigentümer hat versucht, uns bei jeder Gelegenheit Geld aus der Tasche zu ziehen. Er hat uns erst den gebuchten Raum gezeigt und dann gesagt, dass er noch weitere Räume hat. Die hat er uns gezeigt und wollte dann den den Preis hochtreiben (außerhalb von Booking). Wir haben auf unseren gebuchten Preis bestanden und schließlich ein anderes Zimmer zum gebuchten Preis bekommen. Das ursprünglich gebuchte Zimmer lag direkt neben der Rezeption und konnte wahrscheinlich gar nicht vermietet werden, da der Zugang nur über die Rezeption erfolgen konnte und diese Nachts zugeschlossen war. auch beim Laundry Service hat er versucht uns mehr abzuziehen, als vereinbart.
Die Gesamtsituation hat uns leider kein gutes Gefühl gegeben.

Gute Unterkunft mit kleinen Mankos

Tolle Aussicht von der Unterkunft aus. Leckeres Frühstück.

Brilliant value for money, beautiful view and friendly owner. Would recommend to anyone ☺️
Pros:

The room was lovely and cosy, great value for money, had a mosquito net. You can sit on the front balcony and have a coffee in the morning, watch the view and listen to the wildlife. The owner was so lovely too. I really loved this place.

Cons:

It was not too far just not really walkable, especially at night. You pass a dump on the way. Tuktuks are good tho. Water was mostly cold to shower but that’s normal here anyways.

Toller Blick ins Grüne, Super Frühstück
Pros:

Tolle Unterkunft, sehr nettes Personal. Das Frühstück war ein kulinarischer Traum mit Blick auf die Berge und der Inhaber hat uns noch geholfen einen TukTuk Transport du organisieren :)

Amazing views with delicious breakfast and friendly stuff.
Pros:

The location was amazing. The view we got from our room and also the one from the shared area was breathtaking. We got our room right next to reception but it was quiet and everything was great. The bed was amazing and bathroom was okay. Stuff was so so friendly and helpful. We felt really taken care of. We requested a loundry service and it was perfect. Breakfast was what we loved the most. It was delicious and the two nights we stayed there we had different things. Home-made juices were amazing.

Cons:

Our room wasn’t the cleanest but for the price it was honestly okey. The WiFi is only working in the shared area not downstairs.

Amabilidad y desayuno inmejorable.
Pros:

El trato de su dueño y su amabilidad. Nos ofrecido una habitación con mejores vistas y alejada de la recepción para un menor ruido (pagando la diferencia). La cama era muy cómoda. Las vistas muy bonitas. El desayuno en la azotea increíble, mucha cantidad, variado, de calidad y delicioso. El mejor de nuestras vacaciones.

Cons:

Está bien ubicado, cerca de la carretera principal, pero tiene una cuesta arriba importante.

Gest house carina su una collina
Pros:

Proprietario fantastico, ci ha prenotato tuk tuk, dato informazioni ecc. Colazione ottima servita in una sala con una vista eccezionale.La guest house è in su una collina, ottimo perché non si è in centro, si scende a piedi in 15 minuti ma la sera si deve salire in tuk tuk. Noi avevamo la camera familiare, abbastanza grande.

Cons:

La camera è abbastanza sparata e la pulizia non eccelsa. Nulla comunque di particolarmente esagerato.
