Mountain getaway with sleeping next to a stupa

The temple is at a serene location, with a beautiful view. The staff is very kind and helpful, the food was amazing. The rooms are well equipped and very clean, same for other facilities. There is a morning prayer at the temple which I recommend to join in the morning.

Beautiful and tranquil escape

Beautiful monastery atop the hill that has a very authentic feel. The prayer ceremony at 6am is an absolute must and lovely to witness. A great stay and the room was amazing too.

It was great. The path to the place was hard, but facility and hospitality were well above its price level.

Very relaxing and enjoyable stay despite the last minute booking, and cyclist friendly is another plus.

This was a wonderful hotel experience. The staff were so nice and helped me with everything. They cooked delicious food and they even cooked dinner for me when I came back late. They greeted me with a smile every time I saw them. Their hospitality warmed my heart and I will remember this stay forever! I will definitely be back!

Amazing and memorable stay I had there. They met me by the train station and then I spent a lovely calm night on the mountain and at 6 in the morning we had a pray in the temple. The bamboo path to the temple is something! Also they cook very good) Thank you for the hospitality, I'd like to come back soon. 😊

We had a great time. The hosts were very nice and kind, and we were happy to be able to see the morning ceremony. The hosts were also very accomodating, and they picked us up at the station and brought us back when we had to leave.

The owners,/staff are the kindest people! You can laugh with them, the lady cooks fantastic, they pick you up from the train station, they invite you to the morning prayers. They make you feel at home and are absolutely wonderful! Also the sound of the crickets at night when going to sleep. So so nice...

Excellent

Every family member at the temple is warm, friendly and full of smiles. The male boss who picked us up and gave us explanations was very kind. The two young girls serving in the restaurant were attentive and lovely. The chef is very good and willing to prepare vegetarian food for me. Thank you for your reception.
