It was excellent.
Pros:

The property was good, the pool was clean, the field was in good condition. I enjoyed my stay, I will definitely visit again.

Cons:

There is nothing that I didn’t like. Perhaps you can add a glass in the rooms because most people comes as couples. There was only one glass in our room.

The owner needs to allow booking payments to be settled with bookings.com to allow guests to enjoy their stay without st
Pros:

It was quiet, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The fact that I had to pay at the property after assuming booking.com had taken my card details for payment on the 03/06/25. Received a email that the booking was confirmed. The 2nd booking I made a few days later was deducted from my account. The owner was contacted by the apologetic receptionist and could hear how he was shouting and insulting her over the phone. I had no cold water for the toilet and hand basin. When reported the water flow was somehow switched and ended up with no hot water. Overall Lungi was exceptional. Well done dear.

Little value for money.
Pros:

The place isn’t very well sound proofed so you can hear people in the hallway. We didn’t have hot water to shower with when we arrived in the evening. The sheets didn’t look too clean.
