    The one thing that I didn't love was getting to the hotel. Maybe I didn't do enough research but finding the property and then getting there was more strenuous than I was expecting. I am in my later 20s and I can't imagine many people (elderly, handicap, out of shape) being able to make it. There was a dock but I wasn't sure if it was Baba Yaga's or the neighboring property.

    The views were absolutely stunning! It was practically impossible to leave the grounds. What made it even more difficult to leave was the wonderful service provided. If you didn't want to walk back into the main village a staff member would get you dinner, lunch, or anything you desired. Any help that I needed was answered and fixed within ten minutes. They helped me with setting up a hike as well as offered transportation

    The water in the outdoor shower was only lukewarm, which was a challenge with cooler than expected outdoor temperatures. The walk to the cabana downhill would be treacherous if not in shape.... and very, very slippery during rainy season. While not the fault of the owner, I do feel that potential guests should know.

    The view was incredible, and simply laying in bed looking out may be the most memorable moment of our trip. The cabana was charming, and the outdoor bathroom was better looking than the pictures showed. It's easy to idle away time there, which could be made easier due to having the option to have staff get food to bring back to you.

    No towel hooks to dry towels. No screens on windows or doors to allow for ventilation at night without allowing bugs in. Many, many stairs to access, steep hill from the road can be treacherous.

    Beautiful view

    Maybe adding a dresser/ nightstand or something to store clothes wouldn't be a bad idea, especially when staying for a longer time.

    Excellent accomodation! Super clean which is super important to me and the views were simply breathtaking! Felipe and entire staff were all very kind and would always go above and beyond making sure everything is smooth and comfortable. We appreciated that so much. We felt taken care of The place felt sacred and we will definitely be back to Baba

    It is VERY VERY VERY hard to find and they didn’t have any signs on the roads. It is also very hard road to walk there and you have to be in good shape and carry your luggages there.

    The room and the view is amazing! The stuff helped us with everything we needed and were very friendly.

    As mentioned in previous comments, its a (literal) hike to get there! Being in such a beautiful and secluded location does come with a price! It's a steep uphill and downhill (and this is coming from two pretty active and fit young adults!). They do offer to help with your bags and can deliver your food, but just be prepared if you're planning to go in/out of town often, it will come with a workout! Additionally, the managers can be a little slow to respond on whatsapp, so just make sure to text well in advance if you need/want something. They are both super nice and helpful, just wish they would be a little more responsive.

    Absolutely GORGEOUS property! The views of the lake and the volcano were exceptional and all the glass windows looking out over it. The property was so lush and beautiful. The outdoor shower and bathtub were amazing with views that cannot be beat. The water pressure was amazing and the water got hot quickly. The bed was comfortable. Each morning, breakfast was delivered (eggs, bacon, waffles, beans) by the friendly staff (for an additional ~$6, which can't be beat!). They did have optional things you could add on (like massage or tours) which we did not do. They had free kayaks you could take out as well + staff which would deliver dinner you ordered in town for you. Overall, amazing property to relax at!

    The service isn't what you would expect from a place like this. They didn't make the bed, empty the bins or give you fresh towels. They also didn't ask if we want anything for breakfast. Which is all not a big deal, but you would expect something else from a place like this. Also there was a really nice fire place. When we asked if we could make a fire, they said it costs around 15 euro's...

    The view and the outdoor shower is amazing. The bed is comfortabel. Definitley stay here!

    The walkway and stairs to get to and from the property were very steep. Considering how lovely the view was right in the water, it was worth going up and down those stairs! It was just difficult with our heavy bags.

    The view of the lake was magnificent. The bathroom and outdoor shower dreamy! The bed was very comfortable. I liked the seating area just outside the bungalow.

    It was hard to find. I had to call for assistance. There is a steep walk down to the location but the views are worth it.

    The location was great. Great views. Fairly private. They let you pick any restaurant in the town to order breakfast/dinner from and then they order and deliver it to you.

    We loved our stay. The trek up the path to the road was quite something but it meant that the property had a very beautiful, secluded and peaceful location.

    Absolutely stunning views. Waking ip to the view out of the window was sublime. The property is fabulous and in a very beautiful setting. It’s a great base would highly recommend.

    As several reviews have said, it’s difficult to get to the location but if you are fit enough, the views are worth the trouble, (maybe). It’s exactly 0.8 miles walk from the public boat dock to the front door of the property, through the famous San Marcos Alley and then uphill, then to get to the property you have to go down an extremely steep hill and there is no railing or anything to hold onto. From the top of the steep hill it’s then 200 steps down the steep hill to the lake and then back up another 200 steps and some terraced pavers to get to the cabin. The outdoor bathroom is up another 7-8 steps and the outdoor shower is up more steps from the toilet. If you have any mobility issues don’t even think about this place! There’s only a microwave and mini fridge, no kitchen or cooking equipment. You can get breakfast cooked by the staff at the property but it definitely wasn’t anything special. If you want food from a restaurant in town you have to take the same trek back to town or you can order and the staff will go pick it up and bring it back to you. Thanks again to Sebastian for all of his help and kindness. Considering the lack of services, and despite the amazing view, I think this place is very overpriced and would not stay again. There are plenty of other places on the lake with the same stunning views and that are easier to access.

    The property was beautiful and the views were immaculate! Absolutely stunning lake and volcano views. I saw eagles and hawks and lots of hummingbirds and other wildlife. Also you can see the famous Eagle’s Nest yoga retreat from the property. The outdoor bathroom was cute and the shower and tub area were really unique and beautiful as well. The property was very well maintained and beautifully landscaped with plenty of outdoor areas to lounge and relax, including an area with a fire pit. The bed was very comfortable. This was definitely a unique glamping experience. Sebastian, the property manager met me at the basketball court and carried my luggage all the way to the cabin. He was a blessing because I never would have made my way down the very steep path from the road and then back up to the cabin.
