Interesting, different, and excellent value.

Deeply relaxing

Pros: Beautiful location and property. The waterfall is gorgeous, highly recommend enjoying a morning bath there… Includes wonderful typical breakfast and wonderful people as hosts.

Cons: All good, but recommended to come with a 4x4

I loved it but there is a room for improvement

Pros: Staying in a tropical forest where since the morning you can watch exotic birds from a terrace is something very unique.

Cons: For the price you pay it lacks a lot of details. Accommodation is in the middle of the jungle so your clothes get wet all the time and there is no place to hang them on to dry. There was no chair in the room, no clothes rack, no drying rope on the terrace. Additionally, the towels smelled strongly of humidity and were not changed even once. Outdoors bathroom: there is only one anti mosquito bulb above the sink but none above the toilet; It is a tropical forest so insects are a big thing especially at night. Additionally, no place to put your clothes on not mentioning hanging a towel. I put my pajama and a towel next to a sink and it got all dirty. Kitchen: if people are supposed to cook there, they will be washing dishes and there is no kitchen towel or a dish dryer rack. Terrace: mosquito bulb on one side only. Two uncomfortable small stools to seat on, while it could be some comfortable chair you could sit and enjoy the view.

Highly recommended experience :-)

Pros: Wonderful accommodation in the middle of a beautiful jungle-like garden (best reached by 4x4). The tents are a really nice idea and you can see and hear different animals directly from the porch. The owners were very friendly and the dinner was delicious (book in advance). I would book again anytime.

Cons: There was only one chair and no table in front of the tent. A small fridge in the tent would be useful as the accommodation is quite remote and you can't keep things cool and fresh.

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Really feel in the jungle with lots of wildlife nearby. Had it's own waterfall which was beautiful. Good breakfast and kind staff.

Cons: Very steep unmade drive to accommodation. Need to park at the bottom of the slope unless you have a 4 wheel drive. Booking.com app did not show that we had booked glamping tents rather than rooms. Could do with addressing this. Having said that the tents were fine and not too many bugs!

Hajnalka 10/10

Simply perfect!

Pros: Calm place to relax and turn off from the daily rush is perfect. Between the houses are big space, so you can have your privacy!!!!

Cons: Nothing, only bit difficult to move inside the hotel but is not a problem due to the position of the place.
