8/10 Good
"Overall, the experience was great, and the hospitality of the owner was amazing. We can’t wait to go back. The Property has a lot of amenities, which was really fun. The only better experience that we had at our stay was accidentally, the toilet was not clean but apart from that was a terrific experience."
