Venkovské domy na Novém Zélandu

"Lovely cheap and basic hostel with a brilliant location, swim in the lake, go on the swing chairs over the water, chill in the hammocks.. The facilities are basic but adequate. Good parking for motorbikes. The food was good but limited options."

No free tea or coffee. You basically need your own transport to enjoy this property.

"L accueil, la gentillesse, la vue, le calme, le repas du soir"

Rien. Tout etait parfait

"I was there for just one night. The owners were very helpful und kind. I got a pickup and early morning transfer from and to the airport. We made some short stops to buy some snacks and drinks for the evening. The atmosphere of the accomodation is family style and I got acquainted to the other guests which was very special and interesting. Very relaxed and friendly."

I have nothing to complain at all.

"Nice family :) Aku speaks english very well and she could explain a lot of things about Kirguis life. She also prepared a delicious plov for us. I keep a very nice feeling from this accommodation, really special connection. I would maintain the contact with Aku for sure!!!"

Everything was good.

"This is not a standard hotel or gite or whatever, this is a special place. Expect no luxury here, this is not what Karims guesthouse is about. It is about being in a small village and in nature. Basically, this is as close to a home stay as you can book on Booking. You can choose a room or the stilted house (recommended) in a garden full of interesting plants. Your water comes from a well or the river, your coffee directly from the bushes around you, and the food from...actually I don't know where, but it is amazing. One of the Kpime waterfalls is just a short, but nice walk away, and you can roam the village or take a long walk to Yikpa waterfall (~4 h one way). And when you come back, you lay in a hammock with a fresh and local cocoa or sit in the garden. And the best, you don't need to be in Kpalime, with all the chaos, noise, and smells. Although it is something different, I really enjoyed my stay. Karim is a fantastic host and La montagne verde exactly my type of stay."

Just be aware what you are booking, and there is nothing negative about it.

"The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food at the restaurant was lovely. The breakfast that you get in the morning was tasty and a large portion. 2 cute little dogs running around on the farm. Cows grazing outside your door."

For summer months, a fan would be ideal in the room.

"La struttura è a dir poco favolosa, immersa nella natura. Abbiamo soggiornato due notti ma avrei fatto volentieri una settimana. L'appartamento molto grande, con un corridoio che affacciava sulla strada; dalla finestra della camera si vedeva il fiume. Ampio spazio per parcheggio ed inoltre l'host è una persona eccezionale che ha saputo anche consigliarci cosa visitare e dove poter mangiare bene e devo dire che ha superato le aspettative. Stupendo tutto"

Arrivando di sera, quando già il sole era calato, abbiamo trovato la strada - per raggiungere il posto - abbastanza buia. Nessun problema, basta esserne a conoscenza

"The villa was beautiful with great views and the location is super quiet in the middle of the jungle. If you do not have your own car there is an option of taxis arranged by the hotel staff to take you to town. The staff were amazing, booked all our tours which you will get cheaper than when booking with tour companies and the guides were great. Beds were also super comfortable."

"Comfortable bed and excellent breakfasts. The host was very knowledgeable and provided suggestions for us."

A small table or something to sit at would be nice in case you want to play cards, etc.

"A real true experience to stay with a local family. Support them please! And their food is just more than good! Fresh juices..fresh fruit...very flavourful creative main meals."

Do not go here if you expect a luxury lodge. Go here for an experience!

"What an amazing place to stay. the house is beautiful and well decorated. The pool is amazing and made our holiday. The beds were very comfortable. The showers and bath were also very good. Plenty of cooking utensils and glasses and plates etc."

The meter for the air conditioning was a bit annoying but once I'd got enough coins ok.

"Was great staying at Shirin Ethno house, super friendly people & great homemade food."

Difficult to find with no sign (use the GPS coordinates in the description to find the house)

"Everything. This is on the top of the list of places I need to come back to. The surroundings and the tranquility are bliss for all senses. The small cabin has all the basics. The beds were very comfy - haven’t slept so well for a long time. Having to walk a couple of steps outside to get to the bathroom and to get water added to the nostalgia - this was what cabins were like in my childhood. However, here you get a modern toilet and a shower in a nice warm bathroom. We did not have that luxury. The small museum was very interesting. The host was nice and inviting and he has a lot of knowledge of the past and present in the area. There are possibilities of renting kayaks- and canoes not far from the property. Unfortunately we only stayed for one night this time. But we most certainly will be back to explore the lake and the surroundings."

"The support from the staff, especially from Elman. Also the view is breathtaking"

The curtains in the property do not provide black out in the bedrooms.

"The place was very clean and has all necessary amenities. It is a very pleasant place to stay in."

The shelf above the bed head is rather low and it is very easy to bump into it. The duvet is rather short for an adult.
