We kregen een gratis upgrade naar een luxere kamer. Heerlijke ruime kamer met groot terras met een heerlijk bed. De kamer werd lastig warm, maar ze hadden een extra kachel en dekbed neergezet dus we hadden het heerlijk warm.

Wifi is alleen beschikbaar bij de receptie en eetzaal en niet altijd even goed.

"Tolle Unterkunft und Traumhafte Kulisse."

10.0

Wunderschöne Anlage mit tollen Zimmern in einer Atemberaubenden Umgebung. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft, dem Personal und dem Essen. Wir empfehlen unbedingt die kleinen Steinhäuser. Tolles Ambiente. Wichtig: Es ist für die Anreise zwingend erforderlich einen 4 x 4 Allrad Auto zu besitzen. Ohne ist die Anreise nicht möglich. Es geht über sehr steile nicht asphaltierte Passagen bis auf über 2000 Meter den Berg hinauf. Wir haben viele gesehen die es mit einem kleinen Auto nicht geschafft haben. Lassen Sie sich Zeit und genießen Sie die Fahrt es ist eine Traumhafte Kulisse.

Nichts.

"Bel endroit mais ambiance catastrophique"

7.0

Belle vie de notre chambre avec vue montagne et terrasse très agréable. Decoration très belle sur tout le site

L’ambiance dans la salle de repas le soir était vraiment nulle. On se croirait dans un réfectoire d’internat bien que la décoration est quand même sympa. Ça manquait peut-être de musique ou de serveurs plus sympathique bien que le pauvre était seul pour gérer toute la salle. Pas de verre à table, seulement une petite bouteille d’eau en plastique. Café soluble en gobelet

"Dishonest establishment offering very poor quality, motivated solely by money"

1.0

Rien

As a measured and respectful person, I am not in the habit of writing negative reviews about the establishments I book (even though I am a regular user of Booking). The Sama Height Resort is a dishonest establishment, motivated solely by money and not at all by the well-being of its guests, taking advantage of the fact that it is one of the only hotels in the area. Once you have paid (in advance only), the hotel loses all interest in you. You cannot trust the photos and answers that the establishment may send you in response to your questions. The rooms either have no windows, smell of chemicals, or have no heating (to give a few examples). In short, choose the hostels in the area that are run by mountain lovers, which are much more comfortable and affordable than the thugs at Sama Height Resort.
