    All was great but maybe better equipped kitchen would be nice - extra serving bowls etc.

    Comfortable house in the middle of the Zoo! We enjoyed late night looking at animals, children especially enjoyed the stay. House was clean, comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast in Camel Cafe at the site.

    What an amazing place for the family! We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment upstairs. The decor was great and everything was clean and tidy. The out of hours zoo was an amazing adventure. Kids absolutely loved it! Owners were very polite and helpful. The customer service was outstanding across the zoo, including the camel cafe where pancakes were made from camel’s milk was a real treat. Highly recommend to all who would like to spend a quality time with nature and animals!

    We stayed in the house on the attic floor and there were some sounds at night coming from the heating system in the bedrooms, probably just needed to release the air from the pipes. Not a big deal, but the younger kid god a bit scared :)

    The property, including the zoo, is a really great place to spend a couple of days, especially with kids

    We should have stayed for longer. 1 night wasn’t enough!

    An oasis of fun and relaxation surrounded by pristine nature. A wonderful place to escape from it all and spend quality family time together with plenty of new experiences away from screens. My kids (14,12 and 9) loved the lemur experience and making friends with the farm animals. Even the older ones enjoyed connecting with the animals and the gorgeous forest trails in the surrounding area.

    Nowhere to eat in the grounds in the evening.

    A fantastic place to stay especially if there are children with you. The hotel is in the grounds of the zoo and you have unlimited access during your stay. It is very remote and fantastic to be able to walk around with animal after closing time and of course before opening time as well.

    Just a minor thing: I could have used a blackout blind in the room as I don't sleep well when it gets bright.

    This was definitely one of the favourite hotel stays for our children. We arrived after the park was already closed for the day and it was amazing to have everything almost to ourselves. The bouncing activities were still functioning, we could freely look around, and even visit some of the animals. Our room was very nice and the beds were super comfortable. We also really enjoyed the common living room, it is lovely and cosy, and had complementary water, tea, and coffee.

    The walls were thin and we were disturbed by noise from the next room - people chatting quite late into the night.

    Location in the middle of a camel park was superb, that´s the reason we choose Rakši. The room was nice and clean. There was the possibility to grill your dinner outside, with a big trampoline for kids right next to it.

    The stairs in hotel were uncomfortable and dangerous. Hotel room walls so thin, had to listen my neighbour snore whole night :D breakfast was very nice but was not enough tho.

    Nice place, lot of cute animals, many attractions for kids. Nice clean room and bathroom. Cozy resting area with free coffee and tea equipment (candy for kids). Staff was very nice and helpful.

    Maybe we would prefer some additional breakfast options and more info about that, but otherwise- all excellent—lovely staff who answered all the questions. Please give them a raise! :)

    Rooms are very clean and cozy. The shared area in the guest house is very lovely, and comfortable with water, coffee and places to chill.

    the best place we have EVER stayed - beautiful farm house / lodge directly in the zoo - access to the whole park, even after closing time and able to use the grill / fire pit area in the evening, surrounded by the animals and look up at the stars. the house is beautifully decorated and all the facilities are great.
