All we needed
Pros:

It’s close to both the volcano and downtown. Rooms are very spacious and have everything we need. Coffee corner + pool for our 5 year old covered our basic needs

Cons:

There was dog poop scattered around and we dog it in our shoes twice.

Pros:

Le jardin magnifique et très bien entretenu. Les cabines grande propres bonne literie.
Un grand merci a Elisabeth qui est très efficace.

Cons:

Rien.
Euh ..... juste une chose que le propriétaire dise a sa famille de ne pas utiliser la piscine avec ses amis très bruyants quand il y a des clients.
Merci Élisabeth d'être intervenue.

A good place for a couple of nights.
Pros:

Very goodocation just 400m from a massive souvenir shop and pizza restaurant, and 2 km from the Baldi hot Springs. Although next to the main road, very quiet inside the room. Enchanting garden, and the view to the volcano, superb (if the clouds are playing game!).

Cons:

The price for which we booked the rood was challenged by the reception staff, who added 13% as tax which seemingly is not disclosed by booking.com. Rather difficult to believe.

Niets
