Very nice house, extremely clean. Everything was perfect. I would particularly like to highlight Hakan's great leadership. We loved his friendly manner and his knowledge.

The Kingfisher house is a beautiful retreat on the lake. It is our favorite place to stay on the island.

My husband and I really enjoyed this stay. It’s a feel of luxury in the middle of a jungle isle. Hot showers, good working A/c for both rooms, kitchen to make meals, beach towels and ice cube trays!! Also no bugs inside, zip, zero, none! My husband and I appreciated these touches as we were staying in more modest accommodations before. Sitting outside to watch butterflies in the morning and monkeys in the evening was tranquilo. Although you could walk to town, would recommend an ATV or something to get back and forth, especially after dark. We would like to add a food recommendation, The Jungle Restaurant. Really enjoyed the repochetas.

The property was as described. Clean, beautiful, spacious. Only two rooms had ac but we made it work. Really enjoyed the netted back patio, always a good breeze back there.

Absolutely amazing!! I would give 10 stars if possible!! The Kingfisher house was a slice of heaven. The house itself is easy to find. It was exactly as described and better. The house was immaculate. AC worked perfectly. WiFi was fast. The filtered water provided was so convenient. The location on the lake was incredible. Sitting on the patio, listening to the waves, and watching the butterflies and birds was so peaceful. After a long day of exploring the island, we were welcomed home by the sweetest dogs. It truly felt like our home away from home. It was hard to leave!!!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay. The sound of the lake could be heard all night through the main bedroom. There was a/c and a flushable toilet which did not seem common for the island. The home is stunning and thoughtfully put together, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout. The comfort level was exceptional—I had some of the best sleep I’ve had in a long time.

Fantastic! The house was very clean and had everything you need to take care of yourself. We loved the tranquility, the sound of the waves, the sunset, and the cute monkeys in the trees. The garden is beautifully landscaped with lots of flowers, and the hummingbirds are clearly enjoying themselves. The communication with Hanna was straightforward. Unfortunately, what we were missing was the information that the ferry to Omepete with a rental car needs to be reserved well in advance (especially during holiday periods like Easter, Christmas, etc.). We couldn't get any more tickets through the normal channels, but we were lucky to find someone through an online service who was able to get us tickets for the rental car at the last minute. Without a rental car, the house is not an option if you have children. This should be made much clearer in the listing for future guests, as there is no cancellation option. All in all, we had a few wonderful days at Kingfisher House.

Amazing stay. I wish I could retire here. The sunsets from the water were amazing. The garden beautiful with lots of hummingbirds and fireflies at night. Herons, ducks and other birds can be seen throughout the day. Truly an unforgettable stay.
