    I might be lucky, but my room’s not as bad as some of the reviews say. It’s alright for a short one night stay.

    My bed sheets and pillow had hair on them and they smelled like aftershave, I have no idea if they’ve even washed and change them before giving me the room. There was loud music playing in the room opposite to mine the whole night, it was a bit annoying but I managed to sleep for a good amount of time. My door couldn’t be locked from the outside, so once I leave my stuff were completely unsafe. I didn’t really like the smell of the whole place, there was also the same smell in my room when I went in but luckily it all went out after opening the window.

    Very nice location for the waterfall walk. My room looked reasonably clean and tidy. It’s (marginally) alright for the price. They have a cold water dispenser in the communal area which is nice.

    Did not get that i booked. A very dirty room with spiders, no window, lots of spiders, broken bed, stinky matras, dirty sheets, poor loks, rubbish around.

    Very cheap. Friendly people who work/live there. Good location. Nice reception room. Clean toilets. Unique not polished village experience :)

    Mouldy cups and cutlery. No bins. No proper signage. Carpet in the room needs cleaning or better yet replacing. No soundproofing. Dog poop all over the grassy area. Late-night disturbance from loud banging next door (they decided to fix a broken door at 8 pm). The room/the whole place is somewhat tidy but definitely needs deep cleaning. It was dirty and smelly to the point that our allergies got bad and we had to leave early the following morning. I tried calling the phone number of the person in charge around 7:30 to let them know we are checking out early, but no response. I even sent a message but no reply either.

    The whole place itself is in need of massive love and care. The concept is really nice, spiritual etc, and even the location is not so bad.

    The rooms do not have nearly enough power plugs for charging equipment like phones, drones, action cam for all the guests. I had to plug my phone into the main shared guest area. Considering the quality of the place, and the cleanliness, I do think it is overpriced.

    It was located in a nice area, near the hiking routes we were aiming to do. There's a large carpark, and the place itself is set back far from the road, so it's very quiet.

    This place is a budget accommodation which is great for people who want to travel without the expense, however the only thing that I would say needs improving is the cleaning

    The location of this place is great, it's close to loads of waterfalls and the shops and restaurants are just a 10 minute drive away, host's are trying their best to accommodate everyone and were always pleasant and helpful

    No-one there when we arrived, so had to phone to find out which rooms we were in. No clean crockery or cutlery for making a drink and nowhere to wash up things from the kitchen. The manager had been away, so maybe clean things are normally supplied. And we could not find a rubbish bin, so there was a pile of rubbish on a lounge table. The microwave needed a good clean as did the rest of the drinks area.

    Good location for our walking in the area. Manager was very willing to supply what we wanted, but a pity we needed to ask for things that would normally be provided. The lounge had a kettle, filtered water, tea, coffee and a microwave.

    Bedding was not clean and had not been changed. Whole room smelt of old cigarette smoke. No heating as was broken so room was very cold and damp. The room and whole site was very dirty. Tried speaking to staff about issues but was brushed off with many excuses. We saw rats running around in the communal area and there was dog mess everywhere!

    • Solo traveler
    • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    The communal facilities let down the venue. One set of toilets were out of order (I don't think this is a recent problem). The other set lacked any toilet paper and some of the sinks had equipment stored in them rather than than being stored more appropriately. The kitchen did have a kettle but many of the beverages needed to be renewed. The container for these was full of used items and there were some old tea bags welded to the table. This is budget accommodation and I understand that. However, if the issues with the communal facilities were addressed (which could be done without much expense) a much better impression would be made and reviews given more positive.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The member of stafff who greeted me was friendly and helpful

    The location was great..we arrived 20 mins before our arranged book in time, but 40 mins after check-in time. The guy said he wasn't expecting us but showed us straight to a room facing into the main car park, right by the main entrance door. The room was as functional as it could possibly be, but with no luxury. The lino floor was filthy-definitely not been mopped in a good while! There were no facilities in the room, over than a kettle and the passable en-suite. However, the lounge area was nice enough to hang out in-although we were told there was no wood so we can't have a fire. Luckily, we were able to scavenge our own wood from the grounds and managed to get a cosy blaze going. Overall, a decent enough place for a basic stay-but nowhere near worth £40 p/night!!! Also, there are clearly people living long term in the adjacent and opposite rooms-not an issue until they wake you up 07:30 (when you're on holiday and trying to sleep!) by shouting at their dogs and leaving for work...it's not a holiday/relax vibe, but a working hostel.. I wouldn't have any issue if it wasn't so expensive for what it is.

    The location was great, and the atmosphere was super relaxed.

    This place has so much potential. With some money spent on it and some proper advertising this could be an amazing facility/bunk house. In such a prime location. I hope you do something with it.

    I had read the bad reviews so came with low expectations but had hoped with recent reviews improving that it wouldn't be that bad. The hotel is very loud and the communal areas are dirty. Although the place is old, it is definitely showing that age. The weird religious iconography everywhere doesn't help give a good impression either and is definitely an acquired taste. There seems to be quests living permanently at the property and they have taken over the communal area. I was awoken in the middle of the night by kids screaming and running up and down the corridor. I left after 1 night despite booking 2.

    The room as warm and clean. The location is great and has great access to the national park.

    The bed sheets had stains on them which was pretty disgusting and the only shower in the building I was staying in was broken so I wasn’t able to wash properly.
