"Pros: The family running this business is very kind and have good humour. They welcome guests in a friendly way and have good recommendations, they also don’t charge as much as other hotels for tours. The room is very clean, the AC is strong, the showers are warm and the bed is soft and plush. There’s also a breathtaking view of the lake from the balcony. The meals are also delicious and priced on par with other restaurants in the area, if not a bit cheaper (this was very much appreciated).
Cons: It costs money to get to access and leave the hostel and the boatmen are keen on gouging tourists. It should cost about 10 per person, sometimes they demand up to 50.
We reserved an early morning ride through a young man at the hostel and agreed on paying the standard fee one night earlier but as we got on the other side, the price suddenly doubled. He said it was per person so we ended up paying 40." ~Syed
