The lodge is in a beautiful little town, has all the services you might need, the staff is extremely nice!! the little downside is not in the hostel but in the town, because is a little town there is only one convenience store, there are some restaurants but when we got there, everything was already closed, but the views make you forget about everything.

Room was clean and the view from the room was breathtaking. Supportive staff. Kitchen with all required amenities. Just one thing to keep in mind, the staff is available only from 8am to 11am and 4pm to 8pm. So if you are planning to come from 11am to 4pm, then you gotta wait. No other option. Highly recommended!!

The hostel window offers a spectacular view. The shower and toilet have open windows, ensuring a steady flow of fresh air. The shared facilities are meticulously maintained, remaining clean at all times. Additionally, a dining area is available, featuring amenities for food preparation, refrigeration, and coffee service. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, consistently providing assistance with a smile. Our experience was, without a doubt, amazing. Super easy to check in also parking is available behind the hostel. Crash landing bridge is also nearby for a picture

Went with my parents and my brother. Stayed for three days. Had good experience with Mountain view Room for four people. Clean and finely spacious. It was noisy at times but were given ear plugs. Shared bathroom and toilets were clean and okay. It's far away from main hub hence only one bus every hour. There is a shared kitchen but no stove only fridge and microwave with some cutleries. Cannot cook food inside the room but only in the kitchen. All over, worth the stay closer to lake.

The perfect location for those who love nature and the outdoors. We had a car so it was really easy to drive to hiking spots but they provide bus passes for those who need it for the duration of your stay! The ladies at the front desk were so incredibly nice and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back.

The hotel is in a nice walkable area. The view from the room is beautiful. Overall it is clean. But the floor and wall don’t have good noise isolation so it is quite noisy when people walking on the upper floor.

Everything was kept clean during our stay. We checked in around dinner and were told that no towels were available for us until late afternoon the next day. It would have been nice to be able to take a shower! We used the dining area and there were plenty of the utensils and plates except for spoons! Not a one was there!

Cute, friendly, but uncomfortable.

Very picturesque and quaint. Reception isn't tended until checkin (16:00) but the place was wide open so we placed our bags in the dining room and hung out accross the street enjoying the oew and a nap. No ventilation at all in the rooms. We opened the windows to get air, but guests next door were loud, and smoking. In additon, no screens on the windows which allowed in some mosquitos. Mattress was very firm. Bathrooms and showers were clean and open. Staff was friendly.

Great location! Our room includes a walkout balcony view of the lake. Shared bathrooms are not convenient, although were clean. Was not expecting to have to rent towels which is just odd. Walls are paper thin. Rooms come with earplugs, but not towels. Telling of what to expect. Front desk is only open during certain hours, so when we got here early with plans to visit other places in the area, we had to wait till check in as to not lose our room. Parking is convenient.
