The owners take good care of their guests and are very friendly, even though they speak close to no English. The food is delicious! There are multiple dogs and cats living on the property. The house is very old and the temperature inside is almost the same as outside. Beware, there is no heating in the guestrooms nor toilets and temperatures can easily fall down to zero at night, so you will be sleeping under at least 3 blankets. Also, there is no showers or bath on the property. Google gives the wrong location to the place, it is actually not in Kuju town but on the countryside. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ---
