Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which could be tight if your flight arrives late in the day.
- Facilities score lower than other categories — While the guest house is well-regarded overall, the facilities rating is the lowest of all categories, suggesting a more modest setup than some might expect.
- Pool is seasonal — The outdoor pool is only available seasonally, so it may not be an option during cooler months.
- No on-site restaurant — There's no full restaurant, but the guest house offers in-room breakfast and special diet menus, which may suffice for many.
