A bit worn down and too many mosquitos, but friendly staff and fine service.

4/10

3km of terrible sand roads The host and staff were very friendly but the lodge is falling to pieces. We tried to sleep the night as we were thinking of staying a few days but between the mosquitoes and fleas it was impossible to get a nights rest so we rather left . This could be a great venue.

8/10

Wonderful enjoying the company of our cousins

8/10

Mycket speciellt ställe, det känns som du är 100 mil från bebyggelse. Hjälpsam service.

2/10

It was terrible. I wont advice any person to visit that one. Parking far away from the room, shower was notbin a good condition, tap water was dirty road to the hotel is not in a good condition

2/10

Worst service and facilities. Don't even bother staying here. Save your money and go elsewhere.

6/10

It was a little scary to get to the hotel as we arrive at night. The reception made by the owner was excellent, the cleanness of the rooms was very good. The breakfast was excellent. There are things need to improve: water quality, maintenance of the furniture, as my daughter's bed got broken when she went to sleep. In terms of rooms we received more than we paid.

2/10

Unprofessional staff, not able tout look at à computer.We booked but when we arrived they hadn't checked the mails, and we had to find something else in a hurry, as it was fully booked. To avoid. Welcoming is terrible.

4/10

Trotz der einsamen Lage (Etwas abenteuerliche Anreise),haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.Interessante Anlage,super Dinner

8/10

Nachdem wir auf der Suche nach der Location schon umgedreht waren, fanden wir es schließlich doch noch. Gut 2km hinter jeder halbwegs normalen Straße bzw menschlicher Zivilsation. Nervig war das nicht vorhandene WiFi bzw. jeglicher Internetzugang, obwohl genau dies der Grund für unsere Buchung war (in der Hotelbeschreibung wird es einem als vorhanden verkauft).

10/10

After two kilometer of poor driveway to the hotel we finally arrived to a place well worth the money. Frindly staff and rooms better than expected made our day.

10/10

excllent accueil confort et propreté parfaite

8/10

Das Lodge ist zwar sehr abgelegen und nicht ganz einfach zu finden, dafür umso überraschender die Umgebung. Totale Wildnis. Ganz liebe und hilfsbereite Leute.

4/10

se encuentra muy alejado de cualquier servicio, las habitaciones son amplias, pero no disponen de calefaccion, el precio es mas que razonable.
