The host's were excellent and very kind and welcoming. The pod is exactly as it states. It was cold when we were there, but the pod is fairly well insulated. The sleeping mats are only yoga mats. The scenery alone is worth the money. It is BEAUTIFUL. The only negative we had was that the showers are 1 euro/minute and the water was cold and only drizzled out of the shower head. It was nearly impossible to take a shower and we gave up after the first minute.
