8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
We loved the set up of the hotel, the staff were super friendly and accommodating and the nature around was beautiful.
The spa was quite pricey.

Great staff and nice hotel overall in a good location.
The bathroom was very small and could have been cleaner.

6 / 10Average·May 2026
The rooms and beds were comfortable. Nothing flashy or luxurious in design, but clean, well-kept, and perfectly good for relaxing after a day out. The service was the highlight: every member of staff we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made a big difference given how self-contained the stay is.
We stayed at this hotel knowing it was quite remote, but it really became clear just how reliant you are on the property once you arrive - there’s essentially nothing else around. That does shape the whole experience. That said, the location itself is absolutely stunning and a big part of the appeal.
The biggest letdown was the food. If you’re coming here expecting great dining, you’ll likely be disappointed. The menu is very westernised, and the food we were initially served was quite bland - more like basic English-style cooking, with little to no spice or depth of flavour. Breakfast in particular was very average, while dinner was slightly better in comparison but still nothing special. When we specifically asked for local dishes and requested proper seasoning, the kitchen delivered something much more enjoyable and authentic. However, even then, the pricing felt hard to justify. It was expensive for what you get, and because of the location, you don’t really have alternatives - you’re effectively dependent on the hotel for all meals.
We also booked a tour through the hotel, which we would strongly advise against. It was very disorganised and, at times, felt unsafe. We were given minimal instructions and little in the way of preparation, which made the experience stressful rather than enjoyable. Unfortunately, I was also injured during the tour, and there was no apology or acknowledgement from the staff. It could have been much worse, so I chose not to escalate it at the time, but it did leave a negative impression.
Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service in a beautiful setting, but the remote location, underwhelming food, and poorly managed tour offering are important factors to consider before booking.
