  : Fantastic location, just at the start of the hiking trails. Fabulous view from the bungalows. Nice breakfast included. We came at the end of season (midOctober), so the restaurant was already closed, there was no staff apart from the morning and no more maps of hikes available - which we were kindly warned about beforehand. Considering these services would normally be available, I would really recommend staying here!

  : The location can't be beat! The bungalows are in the heart of the valley with easy access to the most popular hiking trails. The breakfast options were limited (this might just be because we traveled in the off-season), but delicious and the staff was helpful and provided a takeaway box for my friend when he slept through breakfast. During breakfast, one of the staff members asked about my plans and then gave me general info on the hike I intended to do, and made suggestions about other hikes in the area. The staff was quick to respond to messages, and the wifi at the property worked (though I wouldn't recommend trying to stream any content). I appreciate that the staff was able to arrange to move us after we didn't have a good experience in the family bungalow. In both rooms, there were electrical plugs near the bed, which was helpful. There were heaters in the rooms and we slept warm. There was also screens on the windows, which is a really nice feature since there were still mosquitoes. In the next section, I list some things that impacted our stay, but I definitely recommend the property and look forward to going back as soon as possible!
  : We originally booked a family bungalow; I recommend avoiding the family bungalow unless it's your only option. When you book the family bungalow, you don't get the whole bungalow; it's one bungalow divided in half by a thin sheet of plywood. We could hear every rustle from the other half of the bungalow and, unfortunately, there was zero protection from the noise of our co-habitants crying baby. It was a frustrating and unpleasant experience (though not the family's fault). I would have appreciated more transparency from the property that you're not booking "the entire bungalow" as it says in the listing, you're booking half a bungalow. And there's no sound-proofing. Given how much sound traveled, I definitely wouldn't book the family bungalow if you want any sense of privacy/peace.In the family bungalow, my friend's bed was super comfortable, my bed had pokey springs, but I could move to one of the other beds in the room. In the private bungalow we moved to for the second night, both beds were comfortable. The family bungalow (room) didn't have the advertised fireplace, nor the advertised washing machine and tumble dryer (not that we needed them). They probably mean that there's a washer / dryer for general use on the property, but the listing makes it look like it's a feature of the bungalow you're booking (though it's never shown in any pics).A previous review mentions a hiking map provided by the property, and you can see a pic of it in the Budget Single Room listing, but when we wrote ahead about getting one, we were told they didn't have any info available and we should stop by the tourist info center on the way into town. Granted, we were traveling in the off-season (October) so maybe they'd run out by the time we arrived.Despite the unpleasant experience in the family bungalow (room), I do recommend the propery.

  : Beat part, hands down, is the location in the park.
  : Incredibly small. Staff was limited due to time of year. Difficulty finding location and parking.
