I loved this hotel it's so good, cheap, comfortable rooms I got the one with balcony and it was amazing i even could see the sunrise in the morning. The staff is amazing and supportive I got everyday bottles of water and good breakfast and even tuk tuk to go everywhere. It's very quiet around and a great walk from the hotel to the main road.

Rummet var bra men lite slitet. Trevlig balkong med sköna utemöbler för att njuta av den vidunderliga utsikten. Fantastisk personal och mycket god mat i restaurangen.

Rent og pænt og super fin udsigt. Dette er ikke et Luxus hotel men tæt på naturen. Utrolig venlig personale. En af ejerne er kok og lavede både en rigtig god morgenmad og aftensmad. Hentede noget naturmedicin da vi havde lidt mave problemer. Ejeren har sin Tuk Tuk og han kørte os rundt i 6 timer og så vandfald, tea fabrik, broen mm. Under halv pris af hvad turoperatører tager:-) hjalp os til sidst med at finde en bil som kørte os til vores næste destination
