8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (177)
"We are a family of 4 with 2 small kids and spent a very good time in an on-site room. Totally recommended and we would come back there. Unbeatable location. Meters away from dark sky project. You can stargaze from its backyard, too! Only 2 comments: some guests left food residual in the sink; maybe a major enforcement is necessary. The bunk bed ladder is squared and very uncomfortable. We would buy tshirts if they had the bending machine design. Thank you Haka House! "
