Positive: An old- fashioned guesthouse, simple and quiet, the hosts too are polite and helpful in an older style. Far enough back from the road to cushion traffic noise. Relaxing to sit on the terrasse in front of your bungalow with a cup of tea.

Positive: Fantastic people, we had some interesting & in-depth conversations on a range of topics.
Negative: Unfortunately the rooms are not very clean & need some repairs. The most disappointing part of our stay was when we paid the bill. We were charged for water, cups of tea & a strange tax we haven’t heard of before. Breakfast & dinner costs were exorbitant. This very basic accommodation ended up costing more than much nicer accommodation elsewhere. Felt very deceived.
Summary: Lovely people but run down & not value for money.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was great, filled with plants and flowers. The host was very nice, he got us a car very early when we left because the area is remote so no ride apps working. Not luxurious but great worth for the money.
Summary: Everything is so green and nice.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We couldn't find anywhere to stay in the town we ended up in at sunset, so found the nest on booking.com. The owner was so friendly and very accommodating, staying up for a late check in and ensuring we had dinner on arrival. Our room was comfortable and close to town. We also heard elephants nearby. Plenty of space for parking our tuk tuk onsite as well.
Negative: N/A
Summary: Hidden Gem, Great place to stay!

Positive: Absolutely the best part of staying at the Nest are people who manage this lovely guesthouse. They welcome you with a smile, cup of tea and great conversations. They even offered to join me on my trip to the indigenous people of the forest in Dambana. More places with atmosphere like that <3
