Vraiment trop cher, la route est péniblement longue, le dortoir est infecte, ca pu, les matelas sont vieux et malpropres, la douche coute 7$ en extra...une grosse anarque! Expedia ne devrait même pas les avoir sur leur site. C'est une aberration.

Nous avions une voiture de location, et à quelques kms de l'arrivée un panneau nous a avertis que l'état de la route nous empêchait d'y accéder ! C'était un chemin de terre très caillouteux qui nous a obligés à faire 1/2 tour et finalement à dormir dans notre voiture( nous étions avec nos 2 enfants à 22h dans la nature !), sans moyen de communiquer avec la guest house.

Wir konnten auch nach der checkin Zeit noch anreisen. Die Küche ist direkt am Schlafsaal ohne Tür und allgemein ist es dort sehr hellhörig.
