The best place to stay if you are a female solo traveller. The hosts are exceptionally kind and will ensure your stay is excellent and safe. Looking forward to staying again the next time I visit Bir.

It was an excellent experience staying there, located on the main road of Bir, just 1 km from the Bir paragliding landing site. Food was also good at compatible prices.
