"Very well located stay, in the middle of the nature and relatively close to the main attractions in Terelj. Although the room was nice, the cleaning could be improved, in a lot of manners. In a country like Mongolia, where the tourism is rapidly increasing, attention to detail will also be important, and communication with the client will make a lot of difference."
