Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was flooded by the river in December. They are remaking all the gardens. The front desk people are terrible. They dont have information and are the opposite of a client service. The food is wonderful. It is an eco-hotel without running water in the toilets but that is part of the philosophy. Tryed to pay with the credit card online so I did not have to pay a surcharge, but the front desk had not updated the system so it could not be done and had to pay a surcharge.

Prima plek midden in het oerwoud! alleen jammer dat de kamer niet écht schoon was -onder de wastafel en op andere plekken spinnenwebben/stof (natuurlijk zijn we midden in het oerwoud, maar daar kan aandacht voor zijn om het nóg beter te maken). Daarnaast lekt de warme douchkop en lekt het dak op meerdere olekken bij hevige regenval.dou
