ThailandVery charming guesthouse - great breakfast - a lot of lovely, thoughtful details :)
DenmarkIt's a really good place to stay on your way to Geyser. It snowed the morning we had to check out. Staff was really helpful with tips and helped us with luggage.
IndiaThe guesthouse really focuses on a friendly co-living experience, and promotes quiet throughout the space (they even have you put on slippers so you don't stomp around!). Really beautiful place, great dinner, delicious coffee, and very close to the geothermal steam baths.
United States of AmericaThe guesthouse was beautiful and clean, the staff were kind and hospitable, and the building and town have a great and unique history.
