flea bitten
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.

A good place to make a retreat
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nett, aber extrem abgelegen
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).

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.

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