    We didn't get the same type of rooms(smaller) as we booked. The staff was nice enough and gave us an extra room in another guesthouse because this property was full. But this issue was still annoying because it was late and took me quite a while to negotiate by cellphone.

    The location was good.

    Hot tub was gonna take 2 hours to fill up, decided to just skip it.

    Cabin-style hotel. Simple, but effective. Very functional, nothing fancy. Beautiful location next to the river. Restaurant across the street is good.

    When we got to the Guesthouse, we needed to call someone to get our key, since it was after hours. After calling a few times, we eventually got the person who informed us that our key was in the door of our cabin. Luckily, we had an international calling plan. Another family was checking in at the same time as we were and they didn't have international calling. We allowed them to use our phone. If we weren't there, they may not have known what cabin they were in or how to get the key.

    We had a beautiful view of water outside our cabin.

    Know that it’s a campy feel, not a luxury cottage. Know what you’re getting and I think it’s great for what it is. Just

    The place did not match the description on the website. We arrived a little after four and the office was closed. There was a number that we were supposed to call but it is not a WhatsApp number. I sent messages but no one responded. The kettle in the kitchen had water from a previous use. The website was not clear about cleaning or cleaning fees. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have stayed there. We had to clean it ourselves. There were no instructions and no cleaning supplies. I asked for instructions but again no response. It made me wonder if they actually clean the toilets and sheets.

    The tiny cabin was ok but it didn’t have a shower.

    Main room was pretty bright and darker/more curtains could be helpful if someone is sleeping on the couch.

    Pretty spot next to the river which our cottage faced. Appreciated the hot tub even though we didn't use. Larger than usual living/dining/kitchen space.

    We were very kindly given a bigger cottage than the one I booked , and this one had a sauna and a hot tub which was brilliant. We enjoyed our stay , the surroundings were beautiful and being able to hear the nearby river was lovely.

    • Two-Bedroom Cottage with Hot Tub

    There was very little space for having so many beds in a cottage. The 'hottub/spa' was not filled and seemed like it might be broken. I understand if we wanted to use it we'd have to fill it, which is not something I typically see at other locations.

    Having a kitchen was convenient. There were a ton of beds.
