I liked the historical aspect of the place. However, they shouldn't charge that much for a room without a bathroom. We had to share a bathroom with 9 other rooms and it wasn't specified in the ad. I'd rather donate some money for the cause than the accomodation. I also got multiple spider bites after staying at the place. It wasn't worth for the money I spent. I do think the staff were very nice and helpful.

We rented a 2 bedroom apartment that met the needs of our family. However the check in process is a bit strange as they just leave you the key in the door. We got there and there was no key in the door and the door was locked. After frw attempts to figure out if we are in the right place and have the proper room number, we knocked on the door and found other people in the apartment. They excused themselves by saying they made a mistake related to the room number and left and moved to a different room. The rooms and premises were nice. A bit noisy in the morning when the other guests left. The breakfast was basic,

Unique experience for a stay!
Very helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Clean room. We didn’t spend too much time here but enjoyed the stay. Things a little different: very quiet. Buildings ask to take off shoes before entering inside. Bathroom can get quiet wet after shower (it’s sort of open concept)

Had all the essentials
Very unique place to stay. Room was very comfortable, got amazing sleep. It was difficult to tell from the website what this was. We stayed in one guesthouse that was part of a large complex of many places to stay. We cooked in the guesthouse so didn’t try the food. There was a small grocery area with enough to throw together a meal if needed. Hard to tell what food the small groups had access to. No information listed in guesthouse regarding food access or hours of cafe.

Beautiful village with multiple buildings and some nice walking trails. We stay in 1 room with 2 bedrooms connected by a little kitchen and a bathroom in between. Room is clean and comfortable. Kitchen has basic utensils and plates, 1 small pot but no other cooking condiments or supplies. In each building, there is a full kitchen and a common area to hang out but we didn't use this amenity. Breakfast had hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese, bread, yogurt, cereal, fruits, coffee and milk. Check in and check out was easy. Location is convenient near the golden circle. We enjoyed our 1 night stay there.

Check in was a problem. The managers said emails with instructions were not properly forwarded by Hotels.com. Quite a queue for the shared bath in the morning. One bathroom had a drain problem. Beautiful setting. Reasonably new property. Pretty spread out.

Beautiful place. Very clean and spacious accommodations on a very attractive campus. Unfortunately, there was never anyone around to talk to, or to get more information or even literature on what the place is all about. For a community-living situation, it seems like it would be helpful to have someone around to welcome people or to explain what’s what. There weren’t even any human beings present at the breakfast (which was a nice breakfast). I’d like to know more about the place to maybe visit again or get involved in the future, but I suppose I’ll just have to find some information on the internet.

The reception was closed upon arrival and we had no instructions for self check in. We couldn’t find our cottage and the phone network being poor making a call to the property was very difficult. Eventually we got connected and managed to check in. The property is located in a very peaceful area and the room was also clean.
