There is no view! The queen beds are awful...all of them. They feel like a pull-out couch bed mattress. They were so bad that my husband and I slept in the twin beds that had a bit of a better mattress. The price versus what you get is super high. No view, horrible mattress, no shampoos even (what????), the line for check-in was super long as they had one person working and there were about 7 guests trying to check-in. Luckily, we were only staying for one night so I didn't complain...not worth it as we checked in at 5:00 p.m. and out by 10:00 a.m. the next morning. But, I would not recommend this place unless you just need a quick place to stay as there is nothing else available. On the plus side, it was really clean. ##### CP Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 13 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent property for large group. We were surprised to find out each room has en-suite. ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved this property!! It was spacious and comfortable enough for our group of 10! The kitchen was very well equipped, and I love that there are attached bathrooms for each room! There were 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Each bathroom was spacious enough and I love that everyone had enough privacy but could gather in the living room any time. The heater kept the house warm and toasty in winter and I also love that it's a single storey house which meant we didn't need to lug our luggage up the stairs. Everything was kept in clean condition and the decor was modern. It's a short drive from the town where the restaurants and supermarket are at. Surroundings were quiet and peaceful. The only downside was that there aren't any laundry services available in the house. Overall a great house for big groups! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### KT 6 May 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities シャワーのお湯が1.5人分しか出ず、4人家族で行った私たちの三人はお湯が出ないで寒い夜を過ごす羽目になった。また到着が18：30（日の入り17：30）であったため、事務所も分かりづらく最悪は宿泊する建物が見つけられず大変な思いをした、始めて使う人は事務所がクローズ（18：00）する前に到着する事が重要な事である。また五人使用できると言う事で、一部屋に知らない人が一人いてプライバシー感が持てず嫌であった。とワイゼルの同様なロッジでは8人宿泊できる所を4人（家族）のみで使え設備も1.5ランク上という感じを受けた。ここのお湯はタンクに100リッター位貯めていて、これが無くなると水に成ってしまう、十数年前ベトナム現地マネッジメントのホテルがそうであった。予約を入れる時は別な部屋に見知らぬ宿泊客が入る予定があるのかを確認しておく。お湯は量に限度が有るか確認しておく。事務所とロッジのロケーションを夜間でも分かるのか確認しておく。これらを納得して借りる必要が有る。 ##### KT Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ---
