We slept in a tent and the tent was nice. The place was very well maintained.

You can hear the music around the entire grounds.

"Leuk hostel met heerlijk zwembad"

8.0

We hadden een cilinder kamer gereserveerd. Gezellig en knus en de airco was top!

De deur kan niet helemaal goed sluiten, daardoor bleef er altijd een kier openstaan waardoor er warme vochtige lucht binnenkwam.

Nice vibe

The safari tent is not recommendable. It is extremely noisy in there, because of the location close to the busy road and a bar. It was quite loud, music wise, until at least 11 PM. During the night lot of noise from passing traffic. The tents are charming as such, but not if you want a good night’s sleep.

"Bon emplacement mais bruyant"

6.0

Les extérieurs sont agréables, piscine et jacuzzi. Les communs étaient propres et régulièrement nettoyés.

Nous étions en tente et le plus gros moins du séjour a été la proximité avec le bar de l’hôtel et un bar voisin qui jouait de la musique très forte jusqu’à minimum 23h. La tente était assez usager et une odeur assez forte d’humidité persistait. L’aspect hostel pourrait être un peu plus présent, il n’y a pas de cuisine ni de vrai espace commun pour se poser et se retrouver (nous avons dû aller dans notre chambre pour pouvoir juste grignoter des chips MÊME si nous consommions au bar de l’hostel). Dernier point, au vu du prix global du séjour, devoir débourser 10$ de parking est un peu exagéré.
