"Nicole was absolutely amazing. Her customer service truly made my stay warm, attentive, and always willing to help. I stayed in a private junior room, and I’ll be honest: it was the tiniest room I’ve ever seen. Definitely not enough space for two people, so if you want comfort or space, this isn’t the spot for that. Also, the elevator only goes up to the 4th floor, and my room was on the 6th thankfully Nicole helped me carry my bags upstairs, which I appreciated more than they know. What really stands out here are the activities. They were amazing super social, well organized, and they keep you engaged the whole time. You literally don’t get time to be bored. If you enjoy meeting people, this place is perfect. My breakfast was included, and it was okay nothing special but good enough to start the day. Despite the tiny room, the hostel vibe, the location, and especially the staff + activities made my stay great value for the price. You’re paying for the area and the experience, not a luxury room."

"Everything was as advertised. Secure and perfect location. Looking forward to another stay"

"**Tourist beware** The host does not include the exact location of the property in the listing and did not provide details about how to get to the property until after booking was complete. What the host hid from the booking: The property is up on a hill inside the park, which is NOT accessible by uber. You can only get to the property from a very rough and unsafe dirt road. The only option is to rent a car or hire a driver for extra cost. The owner did not disclose this very important detail before booking and when we realized it was too much of an inconvenience for us and would impact the quality of our trip, we were already past the refund period and we lost 50% of our booking fee (coincidence I’m sure…). This withholding of information until after booking is at best an unethical business practice and worst potentially a scam. Be careful with booking and ensure this meets your needs before booking so you don’t lose money like we did. "
