"The place is beautiful, and the sights are amazing. I especially loved the incredible view of the volcano. However, what I didn’t like was the bathroom. The electrical box is placed in a location where, every time we take a shower, the handle gives us an electric shock. This is very concerning and should be addressed for the safety of the guests. The place is beautiful, and the views are amazing. I especially loved the beautiful view of the volcano. However, there is a serious safety concern with the bathroom. The electrical panel and electrical wiring are installed inside the bathroom, very close to the shower. Every time we took a shower, we could feel electricity coming through the shower handle. This was very concerning and made us feel unsafe. I strongly recommend that the electrical system be inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician before other guests use the bathroom. For your safety, I would avoid using that shower until the electrical issue has been checked. Feeling electricity through a shower fixture can indicate a dangerous electrical fault."

"Time flies when people enjoy places like this. We enjoyed this beautiful House!! There were a few concerns with the fruits that were piled up and uncleaned under the mango tree. It attracted many wasps and mosquitos that didn't allow us to really enjoy the outside without getting bit or almost stung. The rooms were very spacious and organized but they weren't as clean, some had cobwebs and a lot of dust and a few dead ants and such. Minor details compared to our comfort at stay. Mainly, there was big power outages our first two nights where the power would go out completely for the whole house for long hours. We had a bit of food in the fridge that did go bad, and saved the rest when the power came back about 5-6 hours later. Other than that, the house was very accommodating and it was a nice experience for our stay on the island."
