I really enjoyed my stay! The staff was absolutely fantastic and helpful with everything. The location is a bit far off (I personally liked that a lot) but you can just rent bikes to go everywhere! The beds were really comfortable and the whole vibe is really peaceful.

It was absolutely fantastic. An incredible location in the middle of the desert. The food was delicious, the room spacious and comfortable, and the people helpful and very friendly. The nightsky was breathtaking and we could also rent bikes to explore more of the desert, thanks to the owners' tips. Definitely a recommendation to stay there!
