One night stay Oct. 2024. Property is on the main road, but far enough back that it's not noisy. Our room was huge - it included a second bedroom which slept 4 more! We didn't need that. Good kitchen. We bought food from the grocery store (1.5 km away) and cooked our own supper. The 'downtown' is about 1.5km. in the other direction, if you're looking for restaurants. Good accomodation. Recommended.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Never again

Reception met with friendliness. The room was not where reception indicated. All surrounding people were smokers and the entrance to my room required me to walk through smokers and butts. My outside table was dirty with ash. People sat outside room smoking and it entered my room
