"Miejsce z potencjałem ale trochę brak klimatu"

9.0

Sam obiekt jest świetny - 3 baseny z pięknymi widokami, chill w środku dżungli, bliskość przyrody! Jedzenie poprawne, ale nie jest tanio. W okolicy jest co robić na 2-3 dni. Plus za bezpłatny dostęp do wody pitnej i kawy rano i zajecia jogi.

WeÅŗ pod uwagę, że: - to nie jest miejsce dedykowane dla małych dzieci (bardziej dla par) - ceny transportu są zawyżone! A (niestety) jesteś skazany na to co oferują bo dojazd jest wyzwaniem - jak wezmiesz maly bagaż to możesz dostać się motorem jak duży to jedynie prywatny jeep (drogo) - to nie jest Minka! Aby tam dojechać musisz jechać autem ponad godzinę! Minus za obsługę, która sie nie stara, jest bardzo zdystansowana. To oni powinni tworzyć klimat miejsca ale tutaj na to nie licz... Poczujesz się jak kolejny turysta których mają setki.

"Epic family hostel stay"

10.0

Well, I had no idea this place would be so epic. We are a family of four and originally came for two nights… which quickly turned into three because we simply didn’t want to leave. It’s very easy to see why this place has won Hostel of the Year twice — they’ve clearly found a formula that works brilliantly. The whole setup is incredibly well thought out: * Sandwiches and snacks are available throughout the day. * Lunch and dinner are ordered in advance and ready at set times, which completely avoids long waits and stressful rushes. * Happy hour cocktails at the upper bar next to the pool overlooking the mountains create such a social atmosphere and naturally bring strangers together. * There’s also a family dinner each evening at 7:15 where you can choose to sit socially with others or keep to yourselves. The hostel provides clear guides for local activities and things to do, yoga by the pool on most days, and daily room cleaning, which really adds to the comfort. The gardens are gorgeous, with beautifully maintained paths, hammocks, and plenty of thoughtfully designed spaces to either socialise or relax alone. Falling asleep to the sound of the river and nature was amazing. There are accommodation options for different budgets, and communication before and during our stay was excellent. There are also some lovely local places to eat just down the road if you want to explore — although it’s probably best to arrange ahead rather than just turn up. That said, the food menu here has enough variety that you could happily stay onsite the whole time. It may not be ultra-cheap, but the menu is available beforehand, so you know exactly what to expect and it is all delicious. Most importantly, the staff went above and beyond throughout our stay. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We honestly didn’t want to leave.

"Nice accommodation set in the middle of the jungle, with great pools, a good location, and friendly"

7.0

Nice accommodation set in the middle of the jungle, with great pools, a good location, and friendly staff. The rooms are decent and overall it has a cool, relaxed vibe. What really bothered us, though, is that smoking is allowed around all the pools. Since there are many young European travelers, people are smoking everywhere, and cigarette butts and ashes are often left behind. Honestly, this just doesn’t feel appropriate anymore. We had a room near the upper pool, and people were smoking right in front of it throughout the afternoon and sometimes even in the evening, which made it hard to relax. A suggestion for management: it would be much better to create a second designated smoking area, for example like below the restaurant near the tables, and make the pool areas non-smoking.
