Normal
Pros:

El desayuno estuvo muy bueno

Cons:

El único detalle es que en la habitación en la noche, habían como unos bichitos que parece se metían por la puerta que da a la terraza. Eso le molestó un poco especialmente a mi pareja.

Nice peaceful place near town surranded by nature
Pros:

The location was incredibly convenient, with a beautiful view of the volcano. Surrounded by lush greenery and a variety of birds, we could hear and see monkeys in the mornings, which made the whole place feel so peaceful.

The room was basic but comfortable, with a clean space and a very comfortable bed. We had booked a double room but were given a twin instead. When we asked about it, we were told the double room was smaller, so this was supposedly the better option. The bathroom had a spacious walk-in shower, with shower gel and shampoo provided (though no conditioner). There is no door to separate bathroom from bedroom. just a glass door for the toilet ( no much privacy )

There is also a nice-sized pool, and guests are given lovely soft, colourful towels to use.

We really enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a great variety of options including eggs, cereals, pastries, fruit, and more. The lady serving breakfast gives eggs, sausage, hash browns, etc. in small portions, but don’t hesitate to ask for more!

Cons:

Bathroom and bedroom are connected with no door .. there is only a glass door that separate the toilet ( so no much privacy ).
Room was not new and I was told by the lady at reception that they don’t allocate the new rooms to people who book via booking.com

Excellent stay
Pros:

Great place to see with fantastic view of the volcano. It’s clean with nice breakfast! The staff are great especially the lady behind reception, what a character and so helpful! Yes, it’s a walk from the main bit (20-25mins) but we didn’t have a car and it didn’t bother us. Ubers are extremely quick and cheap and plentiful.

Cons:

Nothing
