Honestly one of the best hostels in the world if you want to get away from the world that is, you definitely need a car but you could also get away with just a bike depending on your fitness levels. I was only meant to stay here a week. I ended up staying there a month. Honestly I fell in love for the place

火星に来たような景色の中での宿泊体験

10.0

この宿は、公共交通を使って旅をする人には不便な場所にある。しかし、目に焼き付いてしまうような、地球とは違う惑星に来たような、強烈な景色の中で過ごすことができる。 オーナーや宿泊者と作る小さなコミュニティは、束縛はまるで無いのに温かく心地よい。 週に一度開催されるナイトマーケットへ、オーナーが車に乗せて連れて行ってくれたので、とても楽しかった。

部屋のシャワーではお湯が出ない
