Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: A truly beautiful building, with a comfortable room and a very nice bed! The common areas are also lovely. The breakfast was very good and Moses makes sure to take care of everyone.
Negative: The room does not have mosquito screens on the windows and, as a result, a lot of mosquitoes gather inside. Although the bed has a large mosquito net, outside of the bed it is quite uncomfortable. Finally, the bathroom facilities (toilet, shower, and hot water) need maintenance.
