Zimmer mitten im Bambus-Wald

Die Leute ware super nett und standen mit Empfehlungen zur Seite (Restaurants und Märkte). Das Zimmer war riesig und sehr komfortabel eingerichtet.

8/10 Very good

Lovely and exotic family-owned business

The room was roomy and lovely, and a private terrasse provided us with a beautifyl spot for our morning coffee. The layout of the guesthouse is charming and enhanced our feeling of vacation. The family-feel at the guesthouse is wonderful, and made us feel very welcome. They took care of reserving activities for us without issues. The only downsides: no wifi apart from the main room, and the pool wasn't really in a usable state for the duration of our stay. All in all, good value for the money, and we would go again!

8/10 Very good

One of a kind!

After a little bit of a rough start, but with fast and adequate response from the management, we had a great stay among the magical gardens of Bamboo Guest House. The breakfast was very satisfying. The place can be a bit rough, but its the ambiance that makes it special.

8/10 Very good

Amazing little hideaway in a beautiful garden. Staff very friendly and helpful. The only things is, absolutely the poorest wifi i have ever experienced anywhere in any guesthouse, you can't connect unless you stand by the reception.

8/10 Very good

A very unique place. Staff very friendly. Matrasses a little saggy.

8/10 Very good

Great if you are the relaxed traveler

Has It's own charm but don't expect the service level of "real" hotels

4/10 Fair

Not worth the money

Not a very nice place. Kind or unorganized. WiFi did not work. Room full of insects, even a frog. Room smelled from damp. Towels smelled from damp. Far away from everything.

Lite avsides hotell, men en rolig upplevelse.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place

Beautiful hidden hotel that reminded a lot like these cozy bungalows in the islands of Thailand. The entire place is like in the jungle and everything is well thought out with the design, art and relaxed atmosphere. We had a room which was really big and even had a private pool. The staff/owners where really friendly and helpful people. Good breakfast. Good Wifi. Free parking.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful forest feel

Lovely stay, wonderful staff, excellent breakfast!

6/10 Good

Very friendly staff but tired facilities

Lovely staff who couldn't do enough for you. The hotel is in need of a refresh: tired room, poor shower (no bath), pool was small and had patches of fibreglass showing. Lots of Mosquitos attracted by the lovely gardens- but no screens on windows or doors and no ac!
