"Great little property. Staff is really nice. I mean really nice. Pool was decent. Location is a little secluded and quiet, but you can get to town in less than 10 mins in car. Don't use tuk tuks. It's challenge for them to climb the hills. Not a new facility but its maintained pretty well."

"The torturous winding road and hairpin bends,make this hotel quite difficult to get to; it is also at the top of a very, very steep mountain, SO steep and narrow our car could not make it to the top. We had to get out and climb the next kilometre on foot, with our baggage, up a rough, unmade, rocky road; when we eventually arrived we faced another climb up two dozen steep steps to the door.

"Spent two nights here, room was clean, ac worked well and good hot water for taking a shower, the only issue is i was on the ground floor so close to the kitchen, where guests ate and staffed work so it was noisy in the mornings and evenings., but not much you can do about that so maybe request a room upstairs if your a light sleeper :) but overall id stay here again."
