The location is good. The facilities like the swimming pool, the restaurant and the bar are great. There is hot shower.
The toilets are a bit worn out but actually clean.

Amazing value for the location. Food was good. The room was quiet considering everything.
Sure, the room was cramped and dated, but you can't beat the price. Would stay here any time I come to VF.

Beautiful garden, carefully arranged, with an inviting bar and seating area. Wonderful place to hang around. The property is fenced and safe. Best of all, it is within walking distance to the falls (maybe 30 min walk). The property also has an onsite restaurant. The restaurant is super convenient, with good food and nice staff, even if can be slow an noon (wait more than one hour).
The rooms are very small, and they appear old and worn down. Everything appears a bit bohemian. It's a backpacker's place also, so one may not have the expectations of a luxury hotel. At the same time, the price made us think of higher standards (but maybe such is the price in the tourist areas). When booking, make sure to book enough beds for everyone, including children; the option "add an extra bed" that was shown on booking.com did not work in practice.

Location good. Friendly check in staff
Rooms a bit shabby - needed a bit of work. Really disappointed with the quality and price of the onsite restaurant. My vege burger was COLD and chips were just awful.
