Wildhomestay

Second time staying here, and the service has definitely declined. The food is still quite good though. It was fully booked both days we were there, so it was pretty noisy with all the people. The pet-friendly aspect is still a big plus. However, the self-service BBQ selection isn't as extensive as it used to be.

There are many hiking trails nearby, but we couldn't go because of the rain. The air was great, and since we went during the off-season, we were the only family there, so it was very quiet. There were no slippers, and we had to bring all our own disposable toiletries.

I arrived with high expectations, and I understood the intended design was a rustic, aged mountain feel. However, when I first got there on a very hot day, the lock was broken. After I got in, the window was broken and wouldn't close, and there was no water. I thought, 'Okay, they'll fix these things.' Then, while eating at the guesthouse, a bug got into the dish (the food taste was just average, by the way). The staff had a good attitude and came to check it, then took the dish off our bill. But by then, I was almost at my breaking point. After dinner, I went back, showered, and got into bed. The ceiling was made of wood, and as I turned my head, I suddenly saw bugs falling down – and not just one! While they did have many fun activities and facilities, which fits with the 'rustic charm' concept, it was all too rough. The environment was just too, too bad. That night, I had to spray insect repellent all around the bed before I dared to sleep.
