The entire team is super friendly, caring, and attentive. From check-in at the pavilion and then being escorted to the villa, from daily activity bookings to in-room services, its dining experience. Of course we booked this property for its natural beautiful surroundings. It was a memorable 4-nights retreat, highly recommended!

Positives: - Hotel is situated in the jungle which allows for a unique and immersive nature experience - The 16 villas are beautiful and spacious, completely open and well equipped with a lot of attention to detail and local craftsmanship - Very private and quiet - Own waterfall and rice field on the property - Complimentary morning yoga - Sustainably sourced, plant-based food from the very own garden and close surroundings Negatives: - The service was extremely friendly but not well organized. They send you a link to a guest portal where you can fill out preferences, arrival time etc. Even though I did it they asked me several times again to fill it in. On arrival they didn’t have the correct info on file and even requested me to send them the booking confirmation from Expedia (which I found a bit odd and never experienced before) - The sheets and towels were not clean. There were stains on almost everything - Turndown service is from 5-7pm. They arrived at 5pm so I asked them to kindly return in 1h as I was just about to take a shower. They said yes but didn’t come back. At 7pm nobody had showed up still - When leaving they said they would send someone for the luggage 10min before I was being picked up. Nobody showed up, my driver had to wait another 15min for the luggage Overall it’s a very unique and beautiful experience with breathtaking views of the jungle. But you have to be into camping and being very close to nature (since they are very eco-friendly they don’t

Dear Anja,We appreciate your thoughtful feedback on your recent stay at our jungle hotel. It is valuable for us to hear about your experiences, both the positives and the areas that need improvement.Firstly, we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the unique and immersive nature experience that our jungle setting offers. Our commitment to providing a natural and tranquil environment is a key part of our identity, and we're pleased that you found it to be a positive aspect of your stay.It's great to know that you appreciated the beauty and spaciousness of our villas, as well as the attention to detail and local craftsmanship that went into their design. The presence of a private waterfall and rice field on the property is indeed a unique feature that many of our guests find enchanting. Our complimentary morning yoga sessions and the use of sustainably sourced, plant-based food from our garden and surroundings are elements that reflect our commitment to providing holistic experiences.We do, however, regret that you encountered some challenges during your stay. We understand that the service didn't meet your expectations in terms of organization and attention to detail. The issues you mentioned regarding the guest portal and discrepancies in information are not the standards we aim to uphold, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Furthermore, we are concerned about your experience with the cleanliness of sheets and towels, as well as the inconsistency in the turndown service. These issues fall short of our quality standards, and we are actively addressing them with our team to ensure that such lapses do not recur in the future.We also acknowledge the delay with the luggage service during your departure. Punctuality and efficiency are paramount, and we regret that your experience did not reflect this.Your final summation of our property as a unique and beautiful experience with breathtaking jungle views aligns with our vision, but we understand that the camping-style setting may not be for everyone. We're continually working to enhance our guest experience, and your feedback is instrumental in this process.Thank you for choosing our jungle hotel, and we hope that you will consider returning in the future to enjoy an even more seamless and memorable stay. Your insights are crucial in helping us achieve our goal of providing an exceptional experience for all our guests.

숙소는 너무 좋아요 자연친화적이고 새소리 들으면서 자고 다만 산 위다 보니 좀 추워서 물에 들어가면 추울거 같아서 수영장을 못 썻구 제일 별로인건.. 3박을 햇는데 비용이 620만원 적지 않는 돈인데 여기에서 제공되는 1일 2식 음식이 너무 별로에요 컨셉상 건강식 컨셉인지 모르겠는데 먹는거만 빼면 괜찮을 거 같기도 한데 다시 가야한다면…. 음 저는 안갈거같아요

안녕하세요 정송이님 , 먼저 숙소에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 숙소의 자연 친화적인 분위기와 새소리를 즐기실 수 있었다는 것은 좋게 들리며, 그런 경험을 할 수 있었다는 점이 특별한 것 같습니다.추운 환경으로 인해 수영장을 사용하지 못한 것은 이해합니다. 다음에 방문하실 때, 따뜻한 계절에 방문하시면 더 쾌적한 숙박을 즐기실 수 있을 것입니다.비용에 대한 불만을 이해합니다. 요금은 항상 고려해야 할 부분 중 하나입니다. 다음에 방문하실 때, 미리 요금에 대한 정보를 확인하시고 예산을 설정하는 것이 도움이 될 것입니다.음식에 대한 의견도 중요합니다. 숙소가 건강식 컨셉을 가지고 있다면, 그에 맞는 음식을 제공하는 것이 중요하겠지만 맛 또한 중요한 요소입니다. 숙소에게 음식에 대한 피드백을 주는 것은 개선에 도움을 줄 수 있습니다.마지막으로, 다시 방문 여부는 개인적인 결정이지만, 여러 가지 고려사항을 고려하신 후에 결정하시기를 권장합니다. 더 나은 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 노력하는 숙소들도 많습니다. 다시 방문하실 때 더 만족스러운 경험을 제공할 수 있기를 바랍니다.다시 한 번 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 더 나은 숙박 경험을 위해 항상 노력하고 있습니다.
