The place had a great feel to it. I hope to go back some day and stay longer. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### CESAR CAMILLO Jul 13, 2022 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Demands improvements The place is adapted, what could be wonderful. However, important things are missing. First, rooms don't have keys. Second, there is no properly cleaning. Room and kitchen had dead flyes on windows and tables. The whole place has a stick dirt floor. Third, there was no information for us upon arrival and it took a while to find out which "adapted" room was ours. I really wish the guys are successful, but changes are needed. ##### CESAR CAMILLO Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stefanie Jul 8, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Einzig wirklich enttäuschender Aufenthalt in Islan Leider war das Bad alles andere als sauber. Die Lage ist auch nicht so toll, in weitem Umkreis gibt es weder ein Café noch ein Restaurant, in dem man was zu essen bekommen kann. Die Einrichtung ist insgesamt lieblos. Die Zimmer liegen hinter einem Gemeindefestsaal. ##### Stefanie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristin Jun 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very quiet and has a fully equipped kitchen. ##### Kristin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esteban Jun 20, 2022 ##### Esteban Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice remote stay!
