Ok for a short stay but very basic. They serve breakfast. Terrace is cool, location good. They help you organize your trip to the nature reserves.

No privacy curtains, very basic rooms.

Excellent location and very friendly staff that can help you arrange tours! Free tea, coffee, and toast for breakfast!

The dorm and bathroom were dirty and there was a terrible smell in both. Only the bottom bunk beds have curtains. Pillows and beds are extremely hard!!! I had to roll up my towel and use that as a pillow.

Zentrale einfache Unterkunft. Zimmer sind Grosszügig. Personal freundlich. Es gab ein einfaches Frühstück dazu. Heisse Duschen und Klima im Zimmer.

Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach und das Bett hart. Das Wlan war nicht das beste.
