Séjour incroyable
Pros:

Séjour insolite avec tout le confort nécessaire ! Le petit-déjeuner est très bon et bien servi. Le personnel est au petit soin et le restaurant vaut vraiment le détour, belle vue en prime! Les cabanes individuelles sont très confortables et permettent de profiter du calme et d'un beau panorama.

Cons:

Un petit meuble d'appoint supplémentaire pour poser ses affaires serait plus pratique.

Bel hôtel mais survendu.
Pros:

Les cabanes offrent une jolie vue et beaucoup de calme. Le restaurant est bon et le petit déjeuner aussi.

Cons:

Déception à l’arrivée notre cabane qui semble en bois est en fait toute en plastique à l’intérieur. Et nous n’étions pas immergés dans la nature à ce point. Au final le prix de la chambre est trop élevé.

The place is clearly run down… might have been good at some point but no one cares enough about it anymore.
Pros:

The concept is nice, the main building has some potential and the location is easy. Breakfast staff was friendly.

Cons:

The front desk was not welcoming at all, not one smile. The facilities are run down, the spa wasn’t working properly and was not clean. The restrooms in the main building were dirty, toilet paper on the floor etc.
The bathrooms in the rooms are very small, don’t even have a shelf to put our cosmetics on… breakfast was good but very basic and limited for a 4*

Emplacement magnifique dans un bel établissement, aux prix malheureusement surfaits.
Pros:

La vue et l'emplacement
L'originalité des bungalows - même si très petits
La liberté que cela offre
L'accueil et l'aide avec la valise
La facilité de réservation

Cons:

Le fait que lorsque nous avons pris la chambre, un sac avec les linges des précédents et leur poubelle restaient dans la chambre.
Les prix qui sont vraiment trop importants tant pour la chambre que pour le repas du soir.
Le fait qu'en 20 minutes d'attente avec le repas, le barman ne soit même pas venu prendre une commande au bar, alors que le bar était vide. Il était trop affairé à autre chose

Idyllisch
Pros:

Das Ambiente der kleinen Hütten und die Sicht ist ganz klar das Highlight dieser Unterkunft. Sehr gutes Essen, super Service.

Cons:

Leider waren wir mit der Sauna nicht ganz zufrieden. Es gibt keine Slipper, keine extra Handtücher, keine Uhr. Kleinere Reparaturen notwendig. Für den Preis haben wir etwas mehr erwartet.
