    “The best place that I’ve stayed during the whole journey.”

    It wasn’t on my plan to stay here. I urgently booked this place since I missed my bus, so I was a little frustrated but it turned into a good fortune cause the place was really stunning! The owner of the place was so friendly, kind and welcomed me. There were cute snacks for me, the room was more than perfect and the lake view from windows was spectacularly beautiful. The bathroom was so clean, there was even a heater in the bathroom so I didn’t need to be frozen after taking a shower. The bed was so comfy and there were every facilities that I needed. I was just lying in a huge cozy bed and gazing the shining lake until sun went down. It was so peaceful and relaxed one night. And after checking out I realised that I left my jacket at there, so I was about to go back to bring my jacket. It was really embarrassing for me since I was carrying more than 20kg bags at that moment. But so thankfully, the owner brought my jacket by a car to where I was! It was really considerate kindness! I want to say “Thank you so much!” to him again. It was a totally warm-hearted experience.
