“It a trauma”
I hate everything about that property and that thing is not a place for human to stay there and I am very dissapointed that you still advertise this shit on booking.com And worse the owner says he told you that place is no longer in use but you keep advertising it!

“Gypsy Backpackers”
The Backpacker was what I wanted, a place to sleep and to chill when I wasn't on the move. This they met perfectly.

Arriving at the backpackers was easy enough, the road was a little warn down, but they also received a lot of rain that might have an impact too. We arrived in the rain, but our reception was still friendly. We checked in, settled in and was shown the place. We stayed in room nr4, just outside of the kitchen door. The kitchen has everything you need. And we used the outside bathroom / shower area. There is a small rainwater pool that we relaxed in. We also spent most of the time enjoying the company of the other guests. They are pet friendly too, they have their own pets, but their pets keep to themselves. It was a wonderful stay and will definitely be my choice of accommodation when I'm that side again.

“Perfect stopover”
The room was really nice. And the owner gave us a bigger room with our own kitchen, that was really kind. We liked, that we could cook on our own. Ah and the hot shower was good aswell. Perfect for a stopover.

“We had a great time visiting the waterfalls and surrounding areas.”
The location is very close to town, in fact it's a walking distance and some of the waterfalls are just nearby. The host was very friendly and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable.
