Vraiment trop cher, la route est péniblement longue, le dortoir est infecte, ca pu, les matelas sont vieux et malpropres, la douche coute 7$ en extra...une grosse anarque! Expedia ne devrait même pas les avoir sur leur site. C'est une aberration.

Nous avions une voiture de location, et à quelques kms de l'arrivée un panneau nous a avertis que l'état de la route nous empêchait d'y accéder ! C'était un chemin de terre très caillouteux qui nous a obligés à faire 1/2 tour et finalement à dormir dans notre voiture( nous étions avec nos 2 enfants à 22h dans la nature !), sans moyen de communiquer avec la guest house.
