So Comfortable!
Pros:

This place felt like we accidentally stumbled into luxury. An entire cabin just for us?! As hostel-hopping backpackers, that felt like winning the accommodation lottery. Everything was super comfortable!

Cons:

The only downside? It’s far. Like, “hope you like walking or have a teleporter” far from the town centre, restaurants, and grocery stores. So stock up on snacks or mentally prepare for a mini hike anytime hunger hits.

Very good
Pros:

The cabins were nice.

Cons:

It was far from town, and host didn't text us until the morning of, and we were on the bus with no wifi, so we arrived and had no clue what to do. We had to knock on a door and the person staying there called and helped us.

Spacious mini house
Pros:

We loved the Cabana, it was spacious and clean, with everything you need for cooking and also a barbecue in the garden, very quiet area. Check in was super easy. Nice view over the village and lake.

Cons:

The flush of the toilet didn't work well, we told the owner and we hope he can fix it.
Keep in mind it is located 15 minutes from bus station but with an unpaved uphill road (not easy with a trolley luggage) and 25-30 minutes on foot from city center, but we liked it and would recommend it for sure.

cool cabanas with lovely courtyard and free parking
Pros:

Cool place at the edge of town. Great if you have a car because it's a bit too far to walk.

I had an apartment that came with a small oven with two hot plates to cook simple meals on top. I could not figure out how to control the heat of the plates but with care, I managed.

There is a gas heater in the living room and bedroom which kept the place comfortable most of the time. The kitchen comes with basic things to cook.
Bathroom has warm water. Towels and soap included.

The bedroom has three beds, I needed only one. It has a cable (no smart) tv.

The inner courtyard looks lovely and peaceful and has well maintained grass and nice flowers. There is a barbeque area and a seperate seating area outside for sunny days.

The internet is functional most of the time but at various intervals weak data transfer and sometimes unstable. Phone reception is OK but not super fast. It may be improved with a cabled internet connection in the apartment itself.

The host of very kind and helpful and even helped me to wash some clothes.

Overall a good place to stay for a few days.

Pleasant
Pros:

We have a two-floor apartment, with a kitchenette and a bathroom downstairs, and a big bedroom upstairs. It is clean, the towels are nice.

Cons:

However, there is not enough furniture, there are no cabinets or shelves and there is no place to put things either in the bedroom or in the bathroom. It doesn't feel cosy.
A bit complicated to check in if you don't have a local sim card.
There is a nice garden but too many cabanas on a small surface. Quite far from the town and you have to walk uphill to get there.

Great for the price.
Pros:

Everything was excellent. The cabanas are cute and nice for the price. Cute courtyard with garden and iron fence. Table/chairs on lawn. Group eating/BBQ facility in back. Kitchen/bathroom/bedroom/dining area inside the cabana. Decent wifi. They let me check in early which was great. Rodrigo is responsive over WhatsApp.

Cons:

Heads up: There is no checkin/checkout place (everything is done over WhatsApp). The location is a bit of a hike from town if you're walking. Neither of these bothered me though!

Close to bus
Pros:

The outdoor place is nice to relax, the appartement was spacious and everything was clean when we arrived. Everthing worked well in the kitchen.

Cons:

There were a couple of issues with the appartement unfortunately.
-flush didn't work properly
-there was not always hot water in the shower
-the towel holder in the bathroom kept falling
-shower curtains kept falling.
Overall we were not happy with the washroom.

Also there were a few spiders and other small inspects even if we made sure all the windows were closed.

Location wise, if you put the address on booking.com in google maps,, you won't get to the right place. You need to right cabanas uaken in google to find it.

It is 10 min walk to bus station but 25-30 min walk to city center.
