8.4 out of 10, Very good, (6 reviews)
"It' a very nice and quiet place with well furnished tents (the bed is very comfortable!). The kitchen is well stocked and clean, so are the bathrooms and showers (hot water is working well). The staff is very friendly and helpful! I was supposed to stay two nights, but ended up booking three more, as i really enjoyed it. I would recomend this place for anyone that likes nature but still wants to be close to the town, or if you just want to relax, wind down and rest up."
