"super Lage und so ziemlich alleine auf der Trauminsel mit freundlichen Menschen. Der Chef ist sehr hilfsbereit. Die Unterkünfte sind sehr einfach,aber ok. Der Geruch war eigentlich das größte Manko, darum haben wir so gut es ging im Freien geschlafen."

"It does have potential, but poorly maintained. The owner was away when we visited, and he didn’t tell the manager that we would be there, so when we got there, the rooms were not ready, the manager wasn’t there, either.
