Reviews and Ratings
I felt like I was in a little village with these sparkling clean bungalows. The rooms are brand new and spotless, though a touch of decor updates wouldn't hurt. It's like staying in a cozy, semi-detached village setting.
The hotel offers large and well-equipped rooms with 2 comfortable beds and plenty of storage. However, the lighting is too dim, and there may be intermittent loud buzzing/squealing noises. Each room has a porch area along the river for sitting out at night, set in a nice landscaped environment, but it's a bit of a hike from the main action.
I had a wonderful stay at this eco hotel. The rooms were cozy, the service was excellent, and the location offered great opportunities for wildlife spotting. However, the dining experience had limited options, and the wooden chairs were a bit uncomfortable.
