The staff didn't seem to acknowdlge guests and their requests for help regarding treks and tours. There was little customer service.
Some guests did not like the fact the lodge is a bit too rustic-looking. The place is described as dingy or run down. There is no furnishings in rooms for guests to enjoy what they cooked, the linens were thin and rough while the hotel seemed to have no maintenance.
