“Lovely overnight stay in a peaceful location”
Warm welcome upon arrival. We had a lovely and spacious room on the 2nd floor, overlooking the waterfall. It was nice to fall asleep listening to the waterfall. Also toilet/shower was quite big with floor heating. Lovely surroundings with grass-roof cabins. Peaceful location. Dinner was good and so was breakfast, eventhough the selection was a bit limited, no warm products. On the ground floor of the accommodation building, there is a common kitchen & tv room, fully equipped. If you don’t want to eat in the restaurant, you can cook your own meal. Site easily accessible with motorbikes.

“Great, atmospheric location”
The location was amazing with a huge waterfall facing the property and surrounding mountains and fields. There were various types of properties scattered around the site, traditional wooden structures with grass covered roofs. Nice and peaceful. The decor in the reception and dining room was atmospheric and traditional. The receptionist was very helpful and knowledgeable. Good food in the dining room for supper and breakfast. The bathroom had underfloor heating which added a feel of comfort and luxury. There was also a kitchen/lounge area where you could make your own food and relax.

An idyllic place and a great view to the waterfall. Very friendly and helpful service. Nice terrace where you can spend time. There is also a kitchen and a living room for the guests. The hotel rooms are comfortable enough, good beds. Dinner is served at the same place. Easily reached when you are traveling through the area.

The surroundings are very lovely! It's a good spot for if you want to go on a small hike and there are also options for longer hikes. The facilities are very convenient and pretty well kept. We stayed in one of the rooms, the bed was pretty comfortable, the room was clean and pretty spacious compared to the usual sizes of standard hotel rooms. The shared kitchen in the building was well equipped, clean and tidy. There was a nice selection at breakfast. At the reception there are a bunch of brochures telling you about all the little things to do in the area, which was useful. We also couldn't really hear anyone in the halls, which could have been because there weren't many other people in the other rooms, but it was still a very pleasant thing. We tried their dinner and the meat and fish were nice and tender, and the meal was overall filling.

“Great location, great restaurant, decent room”
Great location, near a great scenic drive. Property was quite nice for a campground (we stayed in the hotel building). Breakfast was great. Shared kitchen and living room as well as outdoor seating was a nice surprise in the hotel.

“Nice place for a road trip”
The hotel provided the dinner service that was really good, as it was difficult to find any restaurants or shops in the mountains areas after 6pm. The breakfast was very good. The room is clean and comfortable. The surrounding is very nice and quiet.
