The double room I booked is comfortable and has mosquito netting on the windows.
The place has beautiful surroundings and is safe, but there is no asphalt nearby. Bolt drivers should stay east of the place, otherwise they'll take the Bolt recommended route, west of the place, and have a *lot* of trouble getting there. Like I waited 50 minutes.
To find a restaurant you go down to the creek, where people wash their clothes, cross the small bridge (to the right), then go to the left and follow the main path until the road. Not many food options though. Quite isolated but friendly.
Not enough pressure to let the shower work.
Many power losses. No Wifi, as it is mobile, expensive, and they prefer to keep the money.
Afterwards I also stayed in the bunk beds, then you have to share a squatter. That means it's always wet. Those may have bed bugs? I was scratching myself afterwards.
The teenage host may invite his friends if you let him and the place becomes a loud teenage party and it's their place, not yours.

Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Leckeres Frühstück und Möglichkeit für Abendessen, welches sehr gut ist. Es hat alles was es braucht und ist gemütlich.
Lage ist etwas abseits und schwer zu finden. Der Gastgeber ist jedoch immer erreichbar und holte uns ab oder kam dem Taxifahrer entgegen, um ihm den Weg zu zeigen. Somit kein grosses Problem für uns.
