    Review Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    The property boasts a great location near Venna lake, making it perfect for nature lovers. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms and beautiful views, along with the helpful caretaker. However, maintenance and cleanliness are recurring concerns, with reports of unclean rooms and basic amenities lacking. Despite the drawbacks, it's considered budget-friendly and a decent option for family stays.

    I found the location on Google, and the reviews were good enough for me to choose that cottage, so in my experience, the overall stay was pretty good, and I didn't experience any bad thing; everything was up to date.

    Not worth the money. The room was dirty, the bathroom had a bad smell, and the staff didn’t seem to care. I checked out earlier than planned. Wouldn’t stay again.

    Not maintained properly, eventually only one caretaker who is unavailable most of the time. None of the toiletries were provided. Blankets weren't clean.
