    What a lovely place! The little tents/cabins were so comfy, we really enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the great price, it’s really good value for money. It’s also great to have a kitchen as functional as this, and the owner (a nice woman whose name I sadly have forgotten), was very kind. Only a 5 minute walk from the beach too. Definitely recommend!

    The doors on the tents didn’t close. Very low light inside the rooms. Nothing between the shower and the toilet in the room bathroom, so the whole bathroom gets wet on every shower

    Beautiful garden

    There were no lockers to store your stuff. The bed sheets are from a synthetic material that irritates the skin.

    Overall, it’s a good value for the price. It’s close to the beach. The beds are quite comfortable.

    No security at all, no lock on the tent, not even a working zip, and no safe in the room. I had to hide my stuff in my pillow cases and was constantly worried while out. For that reason, I didn't extend my stay and wouldn't return

    Good location for the price, cheap but still close to the beach and party spots. Bed was comfortable and the fan worked

    I'd rather have taken one if the tents instead of the cabin The cabin was spacious but all open and not very clean. A lot of dirt falling from ceiling onto clothes overnight No available filtered water to fill in bottles The shower and sink water looks like Coca-Cola and smells off. The bed is very short, sleeping diagonally and still pushing the mosquito netting with head and feet sticking out

    Great location Shared kitchen Nice hammocks and concept

    Staff were very disinterested and appeared bothered by us arriving to check in. Despite us arriving 30 minutes after the check-in time of 2pm our room was not ready. The two staff sat chatting and seemed annoyed about needing to clean our room. We also paid extra for a room with a private bathroom. The quality of the bathroom was poor and the sink did not work. The kitchen was also very dirty and basically unusable. Overall the facilities are really lacking

    The water of the shower was full of iron and dirty. We couldn't use the shower and bathroom. They give me aa discount but they rented anyway the room with this problem. If you have an issue like this and you know it. Of course you need to remove it from booking.

    Location very close to the beach.

    The property was dirty in general. The tents were very dirty, the kitchen as well. Our room was spacious but the mosquito net around the bed was disgusting, dirty with blood stains and I don’t know what else. Moreover, next to the entrance of our room there were 6-7 garbage bags, quite disgusting as well.

    it was in the center and close to the beach

    Because it was a tent, I could hear music from 3 different places, my neighbor snoring, and someone’s alarm going off way too early in the morning. Unless you lock your zippered tent, it feels weird just walking away from all your stuff.

    I liked that I had a private space and an oscillating fan inside. The set up was nice.
