点评:At first we were very impressed with the reviews we read on the hyperbolic website. Our room was a standard double room (perfect for a minimalist) with attached bathroom.
Here are the pros and cons of staying at the Sattva:
PROS:
Location - A serene ambience where you can hear the sound of silence
Meals - wholesome with lip-smacking treats and coffee
Activity - lovely and informative tour of the plantation by the owner
Hosts - gracious
CONS:
Despite knowing in advance of our arrival, the property still messed up as follows:
Unkempt bathroom - the tray for holding our shower products had dead bugs and a cockroach.
Lack of hot water - during our three-night stay, there was no hot water for two days and nights. According to the owners, the hot water heater kept knocking off their main circuit, leading them to activate the generator. The convoluted explanation made us realize that the chances of having a decent shower were slim to none.
Uncontrollable fan - The fan on the wall was ideal during the hot afternoon; however, controlling it was another matter. The owner having tried multiple remotes to control the fan's movement, could not connect and finally gave up.
The strangest thing was that we were the only two people at the retreat, and yet the folks at Sattva could not provide basic amenities except, of course, the scrumptious food.
On a side note, the property is in a beautiful location, particularly if you are interested in seeing the stars at night. Alas, two extremely, extremely bright lights come on at dark, obscuring the sky. What a pity!
Our conclusion - Sattva is rather an overrated homestay and not worth the 60USD per night.
翻译:起初,我们对在夸张网站上看到的评论印象深刻。我们的房间是标准双人间(非常适合极简主义者),配有连接浴室。
以下是入住 Sattva 的优缺点:
优点:
位置 - 宁静的氛围,您可以听到寂静的声音
餐点 - 有美味的小吃和咖啡,营养丰富
活动 - 业主带我们参观种植园,非常愉快且信息丰富
主人 - 亲切
缺点:
尽管提前知道我们到达,但酒店仍然弄乱了,如下所示:
浴室凌乱 - 放置淋浴产品的托盘上有死虫和蟑螂。
没有热水 - 在我们入住的三晚中,两天两夜都没有热水。据业主称,热水器不断切断主电路,导致他们启动发电机。复杂的解释让我们意识到,享受舒适淋浴的机会微乎其微。
无法控制的风扇 - 墙上的风扇在炎热的下午非常理想;但是,控制它又是另一回事。主人尝试了多个遥控器来控制风扇的移动,但无法连接,最后放弃了。
最奇怪的是,我们是度假村里仅有的两个人,但 Sattva 的人们无法提供基本的便利设施,当然,除了美味的食物。
顺便说一句,该物业位于一个美丽的地方,特别是如果你有兴趣在晚上看星星。唉,两盏非常非常亮的灯在天黑时亮起,遮住了天空。真可惜!
我们的结论 - Sattva 是一个被高估的寄宿家庭,不值得每晚 60 美元。
