10.0 Excellent
Pros: Great location in the middle of the wood with easy access to nice hiking trails. Very good diner and breakfast with the possibility to bring your own.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Great location on a top of a hill. Very good breakfast and dinner. Close to some great mountain trails and a couple of very cool caves. Very enjoyable car ride near the Scărișoara Cave.
Cons: It has nothing to do with the accomodation, but once you get off the paved road for the last 2,5 km before the destination, the road is rough with many holes, especially after a rain. Drive carefully! Furthermore, the phone reception is bad.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: If you are asked if you want to have dinner in the guesthouse: My advice is a clear YES. The dinner was really the highlight of our stay. It is not like a restaurant with a menu to chose from. You eat what she serves - Home-cooked Romanian food, prepared freshly in the afternoon. Delicious, something of the best I ate in Romania. All guests sit on a long table and enjoy a three course dinner. Price is more than fair.

We tasted some doughnuts offered as gifts to us which were delicious.
Cons: There is nothing major not to like. For people on Holliday I would clearly recommend this guesthouse. Still, for some who has to do some work with internet connection/ wifi- please be advised that it has room for improvement - or this was my particular case.

8.3 Excellent
Cons: The way of serving the meals. The person serving the meals should follow the advices of the guests.
7.5 Good
Pros: There was kitchen and living room available for us.
Cons: We were alone in the building so we understand they did not turn the central heating on, but we were really cold. The parking was behind the gate really close to the road but the gate was not locked overnight. There were stray dogs on the garden (as there were holes in the fence) and bothered us when we tried to pack and leave and nobody cared.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Very kind hostess. She cooks, what you wish. Dinner was very good. Guesthouse is near two interesting churches.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Good location and very kind hosts, helped us whenever we needed. They've helped us with the barbecue, they gave us information about nearby attractions. Rooms were small, but clean and comfy, although the bathroom had a small shower, not quite good for tall people, it was clean. Overall, the quality-price ratio is very good, it's definitely a place where we'll stay if we end up going in another vacation in Gârda de Sus.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Location of the accommodation is very good as it is close to all the caves around. Also, although the house is very close to the road, there was very little noise which was good! The freshness of the air was really nice and clean! Another positive note was the breakfast: although small in variety, what the female host gave us, it was good and fresh. The lady even said that the butter and cheese were made by them, and the taste attested to it. In case you want dinner, you need to call in advance. Unfortunately, we didn't know this, but the landlady directed us to another pension which also had restaurant, so we were able to dine there.
Cons: We had 3 rooms and were actually the only guests, and unfortunately, the heater and warm water weren't really working in 2 rooms, which considering the fact that it was middle October, it was a little bit too cold. Another minus is the fact that although there is a kitchen, you cannot cook in it. We stayed only 1 night but in case for more nights and in case you bring children, it might be an inconvenient.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Close to the road taking one to Scarisiora and Vartop Caves. Clean house with meals on request.
Cons: It would have been nice if our hosts could offer some advice on exploring the park.
7.9 Good
Pros: Good location with parking and a comfortable room!
Cons: The shared bathroom was at the other end of the corridor from the room.

Pros: We had the whole place to ourselves, so our experience was great, i.e.: we didn't have to share the common kitchen or grilling area. With that, the place was sufficient: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, outdoor space, close to trails in the area for hiking.
Cons: Had there been other guests, I would not have wanted to be there. Small kitchen, impossibly small bathroom, no provided meals...really it's a just a rental house, not a pensiune or hotel.
