"Sehr nette Besitzerin. Lage etwas versteckt im Kampung. Nah am Flughafen. An einem kleinen See mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Essensmöglichkeiten an der nahen Hauptstraße. Küche mit Kühlschrank und Waschmaschine. Super für Leute, die eine Übernachtung in Flughafennähe suchen."
Alles bestens!

"One of the better hostels I’ve stayed at, conveniently located next to the bus station and a short walk into the town. Luggage storage for when you want to head into the mountains. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly, as well as the kitchen and rooms. Very social atmosphere with the common areas having lots of seating and the staff being warm and welcoming. Ramado was an absolutely gem of a host, super helpful with advice :)"

"Room was clean and spacious. Kitchen available was well equipped. Super quiet and peaceful. Loved eating breakfast and watching the birds!"
Little bit out of the city but still close enough to bus station and a cheap taxi ride back from town if you don't want to walk up the hill.

"Very well located in center of Athens. Walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. Value for money and facilities. Additionally providing luggage storage facilities before check-in or post checkout was added convenience. Good Roof Top Bar with view of Acropolis"
Nothing in general to be mentioned that i didn’t like.

"A very nice and atmospheric resort. Beautiful surroundings. Lots of parking spaces. There is a gazebo on site where you can barbecue and spend a nice evening. Additionally, a small playground for children. The rooms are very clean. Two toilets and 3 shower cabins per floor."

"good and quiet location parking in front of the house"
Very run down and under maintained accomodations in that context, way overpriced

"Perfect location, right beside the castle. There’s a path just right in front of the hostel. You can go up from there and it took about 10 minutes you’ll have the good view of the castle"

"Efficient, worry-free and simple. Self check-in, self check-out. Always nice to see renters who are still trusting the world. Also, great communication!"
Maybe a hello from the owner would had been nice, but its optional.

More detailed/accurate information about the activities to do around would have been appreciated, but overall it was an excellent stay with a very attentive staff.

"- Great value for money - kind and friendly staff - daily thorough cleaning - beautiful garden - profits going towards helping kids with HIV - good food at good price"
- would have been great if there were a kettle for guests' use. Needed some hot water to soothe my stomach and had to ask the staff to boil a cup for me.

"Sehr nette günstige Anlage, nette Gastgeber, super Frühstück um 15Soles, gutes Essen zu fairen Preisen"
Sehr rustikal, viele Moskitos im Zimmer, die ziemlich genervt haben, kein Ventilator, aber zum Schlafen gab es aber ein Moskitonetznetz! leider hat es immer wieder geregnet und da das Badezimmer draussen war, musste ich durch den Regen, am WC hat es auch geregnet, Kakalaken in der Dusche und dem WC

"Comfortable beds, very clean, nicely decorated. Excellent pilgrim meal and wonderful service"
The push shower was the only thing I did not like but that really doesn’t matter much.

"The property is really located downtown, easy to find, and close to places where you can buy necessities."
I like the property because the staff are kind and will help you when you’re carrying belongings.

"The staff have very good receptive skills and are great people ! Then an ever smiling lady Leocardia is one of a kind and she makes the guest feel at home that you may forget you are away from home."
The approach of the owner was a bit dissatisfactory after we had been delayed at the immigration office in Chimoio.
