Water: very little water comes out for showering.
Cleanliness: some curtains had blood on them.
Bed: it is too hard and not comfortable.
A/C: very noisy.

Absolutes Highlight!!
Pros:

ALLES!

Ein absolut einmaliges Erlebnis. Wir sind schon so viel gereist auf der ganzen Welt; aber diese Nacht dort war etwas ganz besonderes! Man hört die Tiere, den Regen, sieht bei gutem Wetter den Vulkan.

Das Glashaus ist dicht. Wir hatten keine Tiere im Zimmer.

Alles ist so liebevoll gestaltet. Es sind zwei Glashäuser die abseits von der übrigen Wohnbebauung stehen. Durch einen gut getarnten Sichtschutz hat man Privatsphäre zu der anderen Partei, ohne dass es das Naturerlebnis stören würde.

Der Self-checking hat super geklappt. Die Betreiber waren über WhatsApp immer erreichbar.

Die Betreiber haben hier eine kleine “versteckten Schatz”.

Cons:

Gab nichts

Pros:

The house is very cool and you feel like you're in the jungle. The garden is pretty.

Cons:

The payment process was not well handled. The host threatened to cancel our reservation because they refused to take the PayPal fees. We had to pay $17 more than was shown on Booking.
The sink in the bathroom hardly allowed for cleaning of the kitchen utensils which was necessary because there was no intermittent cleaning during our 3 nights there. It was also not really possible to make breakfast there since there is only a coffee machine and a microwave, not even a cutting knife.

Pros:

Loved loved loved this spot! Normally I spend very little time at my hotel/airbnb because I’m so busy doing activities, but I deliberately made time to stay here and relax because I loved reading in this room while being able to see the rain hit the roof and the trees all around me

Kan beter
Pros:

Vriendelijke eigenaar en goede ligging

Cons:

Deze plek heeft potentie, maar er is veel achterstallig onderhoud: de kraan zat los, er kwam regelmatig zooi uit het dak gevallen en er zaten veel beestjes binnen.
