The staff are great they picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station free of charge. Breakfast is included and delicious and the manager speaks great english and is very helpful and knowledgeable. ##### Teresa Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jens Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Amenities The staff are very friendly, attentive and doing their best to assist with any needs. We had a good dinner there. In general, the breakfast is sub standard, and nobody seems to really know what is included. The one day out of four where there was a breakfast buffet, it was acceptable. ##### Jens Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Very friendly staff and good service, helping with laundry, motorental etc. Bikes at your free disposal. Some of the rooms are noisy from the road and hang out area, request a room farther away. Without the rooster from next door waking me up every night at 4am the review would be several grades better. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Aïlan Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un bel hôtel pratique avec seulement 12 chambres. La piscine est très bien et grande, mais nous n’étions pas dans la saison chaude pour en profiter. Les chambres sont propres, mais la propreté des tables et des chaises dans les espaces communs laisse à désirer et sont rarement lavés. L’odeur d’égoûts nauséabonde dans la salle de bain est présente surtout en soirée, mais si on laisse la porte fermée en tout temps c’est mieux. Bon petit déjeuner Nous n’avons pas aimé l’odeur du feu en permanence, j’imagine qu’ils font brûler du bois peut-être pour repousser les moustiques, mais cela sent toujours le brulé . ##### Aïlan Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Olle Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Väldigt fin lodge med litet eftersatt underhåll. Vänlig och hjälpsam personal! ##### Olle Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 1泊2日の洞窟ツアーの前後に利用しました。 ツアー後は、服も靴も泥だらけだったので、部屋についているパティオのシャワーで泥が落とせたのは、助かりました。ツアーの後に、プールでカラダを伸ばせたのも良かったです。 スタッフはみな勤勉でプール掃除なども頻繁に行っていました。また、朝一番の電車に乗るため、朝食が取れない私たちに急遽バインミーをつくって持たせてくれるなど、ホスピタリティ溢れる対応をうけました。夕食も3人で5品とビールを頼んで600,000ドンと手頃な価格でした。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Osma Nov 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La piscine est très jolie . L'hôtel est très beau et ma chambre était grande. Le seule point négatif, c'était l'odeur d'égout dans la salle de bain ##### Osma Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Stettler](https://www.expedia.ca/Stettler-Hotels.d56404.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Franschhoek.h1556523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Whistler Peak Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Whistler-Peak-Lodge-By-Vacasa.h9759840.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Maine](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maine-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d221-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [remm Tokyo Kyobashi](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Remm-Tokyo-Kyobashi.h29086614.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d179995-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [MOXY Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-MOXY.0-0-d178293--bMOXY.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lesvos (MJT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mjt/toronto-to-mytilene) > > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/pvr/toronto-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Lapu-Lapu (CEB) to Davao (DVO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ceb/dvo/cebu-to-davao) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/lhr/hamilton-to-london) > > [Flights from Alberta (YOJ) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yoj/yzf/high-level-to-yellowknife) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Chattanooga (CHA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cha/calgary-to-chattanooga) > > [Flights from Lloydminster (YLL) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yll/yyc/lloydminster-to-calgary) > > [WestJet Edmonton (YEG) to Goffs (YHZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-edmonton-intl-to-stanfield-intl/ws/yeg/yhz) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/maa/toronto-to-chennai) > > [Flights from La Ronge (YVC) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvc/yeg/la-ronge-to-edmonton) ### Cars > [Van Car Rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Thailand Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Thailand.d178.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Jakarta Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Jakarta.d178269.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [San Patricio Melaque Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Patricio-Melaque-Vacation-Rentals.d6202659.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Whistler Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Whistler-Village.dx6058449)
