Karuna is in a very quiet quiet area. There's a vast land and mountain ranges behind the property. There's a beautiful restaurant in the property. There's also a common kitchen, equipped with everything you'll need. Our room was very spacious. It looks like a newly constructed place, or just well maintained. It has a home-y feel. It also has a hot tub and sauna facing the mountains. It's a good place to stargaze and try to find Aurora. Although it was cloudy that night, so no luck for us. We'll definitely go back if I happen to be around the area again.

La habitación, aunque pequeña fue funcional. Y en general tenía buen aspecto y limpio. Lo único desafortunado fue el olor fuerte a azufre saliendo de las cañerías del baño. Impregnando toda la habitación. Muy desagradable. Entiendo que se debe al área, pero tomar en cuenta si eres sensitivo a los olores.

Good clean property for one night stay. We used the kitchen to cook a simple dinner since we checked in rather late and don’t want to drive another 14KM to the nearest town for dinner. The staffs are very friendly. We were told at check in time that the continental breakfast is included in the price which is a nice surprise. Overall, we had a great stay and definitely recommend it.

what a gorgeous place. the surrounding is beautiful, the rooms are great BUT, we could NOT take a shower, because the hot water is natural volcanic water which smells and we did not appreciate the fact that we did not know this. the place is immaculate hot tob, sauna overlooking the mountains. just sad about the hot water.

Beautiful and well appointed. Loved the huge communal area. Makes up for the small sleeping rooms. We spent the evening playing cards and then watched a movie. At 1AM the sunset was STUNNING. RED SKY across 180 degrees of the horizon lighting up all the snow capped mountains. Thank you for sharing your space with us. We were supposed to get an email about our room number before 14:00 but someone forgot. We had to take the keys left on the counter and open all three rooms in order to find our room. We are 4 people so it was not difficult. Just wanted to tell you we had to do that. Instructions were there for another party but not for us. We figured it out.
