  • JoãoBrazil · Apr 2, 2023 10Exceptional

    Cost-benefit, confort, simplicity, and kindness all together.

    Liked : Miriam, the host, definitely made my group trip better. She’s super kind and helped us a lot every day. The rooms and the kitchen, although simple, are very clean and have everything you need for a great stay. The kitchen is well equipped and you can have a nice time there cooking if you want. I highly recommend the stay, and I’ll definitely come back someday. Muchas gracias Miriam!!

    Disliked : i think the only thing that bothered me a lil bit was the flies. Don’t let the doors or windows opened otherwise they’ll enter your room and accumulate there, which is bad, especially if you want a good night of sleep.

    A very relaxing home from home except experience.

    Liked : Lovely outside space with hammock, shady dining area, nice terrace outside our room. The owner and her son were very helpful and gave us great tips for where to eat etc. We had good conversations and felt very at home.

    Disliked : It was a slightly longer walk to the centre than we expected but it meant it was very quiet and relaxing.

    Absolutely great because it was more authentic

    Liked : Shady outside. Nice interior. Hot water perfect. The son gave great advice on local ethnic restaurants not the ones in touristy places

    Disliked : Could have needed more dusting but obviously a bit difficult in a desert. Kitchen a little dated so could do with a little work but fridge was great asset.
