"Excuse me, but where's the sixth star?" I stayed at this so-called 4-star guest house, and let me tell you — if this is 4 stars, then I’m a teapot. Everything was excellent: the service, the cleanliness, the location, the sleep quality (I basically hibernated), and the value (they could charge more, but let’s not give them ideas). The room was so spotless I was scared to touch anything. The staff were friendlier than my own family, and I briefly considered applying for citizenship just to live there permanently. Clearly, someone at the rating agency dropped a star on the way in — please return it and restore justice. This place is 5 stars and a bonus gold one for good vibes. Highly recommend, unless you're allergic to excellence.

I was received by a happy owner and even happier staff, the food was okay and the facilities are clean... It is a remote place BUT it exceeded expectations because the town itself doesn't draw much

Second time for business purpose. Team is very nice and helpful, cuisine is simple and tasty, rooms are clean and practical (though a bit noisy = you can hear your neighbor). The place is quiet and with a very nice view. I would certainly go for personal tour
