Exceptional

10.0

An exceptional experience. Such an amazing place and the people and staff were so good. It’s rustic and you’re in the jungle, so you will always make some compromises. Claire the yoga instructor was great. An amazing family-run business, the community is heavily involved. I cannot recommend this experience enough. I loved it so much I came back twice and it just gets better. There are lots of things to get involved we. I did the cooking class 😍

It is an awesome place to relax and restore. The yoga shala is very nice. The yoga classes are very good. Thanks Thais and Olivia. The staff is very friendly. The food is good and the portions are big. The wildlife is amazing.

The matress in the bed is thin and very soft. No mosquito nets at the windows. Hot water smells like smoke from the fire. In my opinion to pricey.

Nettes Personal, tolle Ausflüge, immer bereit auf persönliche Wünsche einzugehen. Tolles Yoga.

Man muss sich im Klaren sein, dass die Unterkunft etwas abseits liegt. Wenn man nicht mit Tuktuk anreist, muss man den Rest zur Unterkunft hochlaufen, weil der Weg zu steil und eng ist.

Immersif, authentique mais un peu cher.

8.0

Immersion dans la jungle, notamment avec tous les bruits nocturnes. Les chalets sont isolés et très beaux. Beaucoup d'activités sur places sont proposées. Mais ne pas y aller si vous n'êtes pas à l'ase pour vous déplacer dans la jungle : il faut marcher un petit moment pour rejoindre le restaurant.

Le prix est quand même élevé pour des équipements pas toujours au top (pas d'eau chaude durant mon séjour)

Fantastic experience!

9.0

We were a family with two children aged 11 and 12 and stayed in the bungalow, which was perfect as the children could have their own room. We also took part in the activities, the village and waterfall walk and a trek in the Knuckles which were both great with very knowledgable guuides. As I am interested in textile crafts, I had asked if a visit to the Umbara weavers could be arranged and they arranged it for me in conjunction with the Knuckles trek, for which I am very greateful. Staff is very friendly and food was good!

It is a steep climb to the lodge, which we knew about. My son has motion sickness so for him it was tough. The location is remote, which is why we chose it, so one should be prepared for all kinds of insects etc. Also the water pressure in the shower was sometimes quite low.
