Nothing

It was not what it seemed on pics

Orca suite had beautiful views over the ocean, and was exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Felt the shower and toilet facilities were a bit impersonal.

Worth staying just for the views!

10.0

Very kind and friendly staff. Absolutely stunning views

Situated at the top of a very steep hill. Views were incredible but it is not walkable to local town, restaurants, etc

Never book this crooked guesthouse.

1.0

We arrived early for our 1 night pre booked pre paid stay to be told our room had been given to someone else and there was no other accommodation available in the area. We were informed we could make a 2 hour drive over the mountains in the dark ( where we knew there is a township ) and stay in a cabana. No thanks. The owner would not acknowledge that by giving our room to someone else, effectively leaving us homeless, was not just legally but morally wrong and begs the question how much money changed hands to give our room away.

Stunning views with ample space

9.0

The views of the mountains and ocean. Stunning from the location of the house. Great staff. Peter is a gem!

Just that the shower could have a door to separate it from the toilet and prevent spillage, but this is pretty minor. The WiFi was also pretty spotty.
