The host was incredibly kind and attentive to our needs. The description of the place was accurate, and the kitchen was very well-equipped. I wouldn’t hesitate to return!
One of the beds was hard as a rock and there was no hot tub as stated in the details It was kinda muggy in there not sure how that air con worked. No coffee or sugar most places do provide that. All in all it accommodated me and my company
Spectacular & peaceful location. Very well maintained, clean space. The property is very well equipped, especially the kitchen appliances. We were around 12 people & we all had an great time there. We booked this property in July so make sure you are taking mosquito repellent spray with you if you are spending time outside especially in the evening near the water.
The host (Wali) was most kind & extremely responsive to call/msgs.
We will definitely be recommending it to other people.
Stay was good, the house was pretty much as expected but to sleep 10 adults an air matress or two wouldn't hurt.
River was dryer than expected but I hadn't researched that enough before hand.
Otherwise beautiful house and everything went smooth.

Thanks alot for the review. The rain has not been very generous yet this year so water levels are low.
Hopefully that will get better.
Thanks again
I and a group of friends had a reunion here and it was perfect for what we needed. Spent some great time by the fire and out on the patio while BBQing. The kitchen island inside was also fantastic. At one point while it was raining outside all 10 of us were able to stand around the island and continue our conversation. It says sleeps 10 but you'll have to share a bed with someone if you're traveling as a group of adults. We knew this before arriving as the pictures of the property showed all the beds, but just something to note. Overall it was fantastic and perfect for what we needed.
