“Good place, clean and friendly staff”
+The location is nice and the view is great during sunrise and sunset. Staff is very helpful and nice. Especially Ishan and the team’s hospitality was welcoming. Breakfast is good.
−The road to get there is extremely bumpy not paved properly at all, and sometimes if buses come might get blocked. cars with a general low ground clearance is difficult to go up and takes time to go slowly. Parking is limited up to 2 vehicles and that also need to be cautious since if your car is low it might hit the bottom. Vans or suvs are fine to go up.

“Breathtaking views, amazing host, despite whe bugs”
+The location is very peaceful but be aware that it’s an approx 20 minute Tuk Tuk to the city. Breathtaking view from the balcony and the dining area. Ishan makes the best breakfast. He helped us with the itenary and organised the driver for Cooking classes, daytime tours to see neighbouring towns, and the best spots to buy spices. He has been very helpful.
−Every night we had new guests (different species of bugs). Also, the netting on the bed did not cover the whole bed and my friend ended up with multiple mosquito bites.

“Excellent”
+We had a truly wonderful stay. The food was excellent and made our experience even more enjoyable. The guys who run the property were absolutely fantastic , very kind, friendly, helpful, and always available whenever we needed anything. A special thank you to Ishan, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Thanks to his kindness, local knowledge, and willingness to help, we were able to experience the city in a truly authentic way and discover places and experiences we would probably never have found on our own. We highly recommend this place and will definitely leave with wonderful memories. Thank you so much to the whole team!

“A perfect stay with glorious views.”
+The sunrise and views from our balcony were spectacular. The room was clean and spacious. Ishan, the host, was very polite, considerate and attentive to our needs. As well, he prepares a healthy breakfast for the guests. We were very fulfilled with everything we ate. Please don’t take notice of the reviews which mentioned about it being too difficult for tuk tuks or taxis. A good amount go up and down for the temple above so it’s easy to get rides. Overall, a perfect stay!

“Great view!”
+The sunrise from the hotel! The view is outstanding. The calm, quiet ambience where you can sit and listen to birds and monkeys, while watching sunrise. The staff was a young boy who was very ambitious and helpful. He behaved in a very mannerful way and made sure to fulfil every request we had.
−The road leading to the hotel is slightly bumpy but we didn't have that many issues going with a car.
