“Good, clean, comfortable and nice.”
Nice remote guesthouse, rooms were good, and facilities were good. We never saw any staff, but there are key locks to get the key to your room and to be fair, it's not a bad thing. They left a freshly-made waffle for every guest, which was a nice touch.

“Comfortable accommodation in wonderful area”
Wonderful area, very nice to walk around and to the waterfall. Comfortable and clean house, nice big dining room with wonderful view. The hosts sent us prompt, clear informations. We loved how organized and available they are, and yet descreet and stealthy at the same time. We would stay here again for sure.

The place is very nice, but it's a few kilometers away on a gravel road that isn't in great condition and wasn't mentioned when I booked.

“Hidden gem with amazing views, and we absolutely loved it.”
The guesthouse is in quite a rural location about 5km off the main road, and driving f to it takes you through some of the amazing volcanic landscape. It is very well maintained, clean and the home made waffles waiting for us when we arrived went down well :-). Just a pity we only had a very short 1 night stay as I’d loved to have explored the area around the guesthouse.
