The ‘cabin’ was quite literally a cement room with no running water and a very small electric heater that was out of order. The room was clean and the service was alright. The amenities however were absolutely terrible, the showers run on a recycled water system so you’d be lucky to get anything more than a dribble of cold water. The doors to the amenities block constantly jammed and the kitchen did not cater for travellers as you had to purchase plates and cutlery from the office, which was shut by dinner time so we had to use whatever we could find to cook and eat. This place would be great if you have a camper with a toilet but walking 200m to the bathroom in the middle of the freezing cold night was not ideal.

Basic accomodation, but perfect for a camp ground with the most spectacular views. Shared facilities were clean.

The room was cleaned in a rush, so wasn't cleaned properly. We got the room ready way after 2pm. Plates and glasses were dirty from last use! The fridge is big enough but makes a loud humming sound all night long. Apart from that, the place is a wonderful one, the rooms were big enough and well planned. Plenty of facilities for the guests to use like common toilet and shower, shared kitchen etc. will visit again for sure
