Guest reviews
Many of those who rested in this hotel speak of it as a great opportunity to visit this land. Russians separately note almost a family atmosphere and excellent cuisine. Many express special thanks to the chef.
Most tourists liked the fact that the hotel is located away from city noise, in a secluded corner, where you can still find wildlife. Guests are satisfied not only with delicious food and comfortable rooms, but also with the work of the staff, whose cordiality and responsiveness were highly appreciated.
The only drawback noted by some Russians is the lack of ATMs at the hotel. In order to cash out, I had to get to the center of the village of Gennadi, although some found this forced walk only pleasant.
