It is a good choice for traveller on a budget. I liked that they offered discounted tours for guests and made bookings really easy.
The accommodations themselves weren’t the best, but for the price they’re truly value for money.

Estancia a buen precio
Pero las instalaciones viejas: el baño descuidado en regadera y ventana, la cama no comoda (rechinaba) y la colcha muy desgastada.
El desayuno súper y la atencion del personal imoecable
