Chillige Unterkunft, schöner Garten, abseits der Stadt, ohne Rezeption
Pros:

Chillig Unterkunft! Sehr schöner Garten und eine gute Küche.

Cons:

Wir waren allein und haben uns etwas allein gelassen gefühlt. Die Rezeptionistin kam nur ein Mal am Tag kurz vorbei …. Viele Moskitos und ziemlich abgelegen.

Pros:

After my arrival I really liked the way this accommodation was looking. Tents nicely organized in between of tropical flora. Also the staff was great and friendly. But there it ended for me. I expected "nomad" atmosphere, calm, clean and kinda spiritual place. For young couples who would like to spend their night drinking in the nearby restaurant with a loud music till 1am, it's OK place to be. Unfortunately I was looking for a relaxing time and I was disappointed.

Cons:

In my honesty opinion, tent needs a better ventilation. Air inside was terrible, wet condition and moisture which accumulates there also due to use of air-conditioning which was loud.
Nearby restaurant plays loud music till 1am and then big rain started and my tent was flooded at the entrance. I didn't realize it till I finally woke up and found the entrance matt to be fully soaked.
I slept maybe 2-3 hours and left the place rather quickly.
