Sadly this was a very bad experience. The pictures make this House look twice as big as it really is. If you are planning to go 6 people- I would really not recommend it. If you are taller than 180cm, you probably won’t be able to stand up right in other rooms than the bathrooms. The beds are SO Small, and SO uncomfortable! We left two days early cause we simply didn’t get any sleep! The area is completely isolated... you can not find a supermarket or anything- so make sure to shop on the “main island” before you take the ferry. It was not very clean. And the sofa was broken, and all chairs were very uncomfortable. I prefer not to leave anyone a bad review, but I feel like this place was just NOT good enough! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ---
