The teepee is located in a quite place and the room/teepee itself was fine. Dont expect the WiFi to work. Also there is no hot water at all. The communication could be better. One day the power was off and no one told us eventhough they new it in the reception. The staff was helpful. The stay was fine, but would recommend to stay somewhere else, since there is a lot of wonderfull places around ST.

The tipis belong to a hostel and have a good location. Unfortunately, checking in was difficult. Since it was indicated at airbnb 2 pm and we were then told that it was actually only possible from 3 pm. So we waited in the garden until our room is cleaned. The tipi itself looks like on the photos, but unfortunately the walls on the sides are open so cockroaches and other animals come in. Because the mattress is on the floor, they also come to bed. Fortunately, we had a net with us and were able to keep our mattress clean, but without it would be very difficult. You actually have Wi-Fi, as the reception is much too bad. And Marco can't be reached after multiple letters and never responds. All in all we can't recommend it.

We were going to stay 2 nights in the teepee, which seemed very nice at first sight. But there were some details that weren't very good, like the dripping shower and the bathroom door that couldn't be closed completely. But the worst thing was at night, when the spoons came in... we didn't have a mosquito net so they were flying in our face. So we couldn't sleep, so we went outside and spent the night at... The next day we reported what had happened and as a courtesy we were moved to another room. Everything went very well and at least we were able to rest well the second night.

Very nice place to stay. Unfortunately, the location is not correct and we had difficulty finding our accommodation. Unfortunately, there was no hot water for us. Still, all in all, very nice.

Super nice hostel, which was built with a lot of love for detail. The tipi is cozy (pretty lamps, pleasant light, and practical (lots of outlets). The common areas are comfortable, nice and clean. Very likeable staff and someone is always there if you have a question. Will be happy to come back :)

I never communicated. We never found the place for the first time it happens to me. It shouldn't be on Airbnb
