    Nothing as stated above.

    Interesting experience sleeping in a tent. The beddings and sheets were comfortable and the shared shower/toilet facilities were adequate. The tents were generally not shaded so it did get heated up in the day. Therefore, do note the heat when staying in summer as it did not get cool till about 9 pm at night. It was comfortable through the night till early morning. However, it's a good stopover after visiting Death Valley NP if you need to travel this way. The restaurant opposite has rooms and cabins (with air-conditioning) if you are willing to pay more for comfort, and does provide good food and alcohol with internet access. Look for Brian who manages the place.

    Tents were hot (honestly no surprise though so hardly a dislike) and the shower/toilet facilities are a little run down and insect filled.

    Location was incredible. Staff were knowledgeable about the do’s and donts of Death Valley as well as the sights to see. Great selection of beers as well.

    The bed was a bit (too) hard. Bathroom could be cleaner, but then it's camping, so who cares ...although it was called Glamping...so maybe just a bit more attention required ?

    Absolutely epic. Unforgettable night in our ready to go tent. Popped in our sleeping bags, walked across the road for a meal and some drinks and back to our tent to turn in early as the night settled in. Gorgeous night sky walking to the restroom in the middle of the night. When can we go again?!

    Family road trip through California NPs and coast. 18 days / 9 different places to stay overnight. This one was third in the itinerary. Special place. Beuatiful surrounding and views. We stay there on our way out of Deat Valley NP. Historic buildings make the place special. Room was very clean and all equpiment which is needed for short stay. Good / costly restaurant in area with great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend it.

    Lots of spiders webs in cabin and a spider in the shower . We didn’t have a fridge and there was no ice available for our drinks .

    Perfect stop on the Death Valley road. The cabin was compact and bejou. Clean and tidy . Used the fire pit to sit out for s’mores and stargazing which was great . The restaurant had good food and a a good selection of beers and wines.

    Facilities are a bit tired, no issue for one night stay.

    The host, Ben, was fantastic! He was very welcoming, offered us food and drink outside the restaurant opening hours at 11pm and stopped for a nice chat with us! Burgers and beer battered fries we had for breakfast were divine! Restaurant staff kindly sold us some milk for the kids. We regret driving 50miles through the valley in the dark (no reception, completely dark etc) and getting to the campsite after the sunset - it'd be lovely to be able to see the valley from the campsite in the evening and make use of the BBQ area. We stayed in a 4 bed tent. The beds were comfy, temperature in the tent was perfect throughout the night and in the morning (but we used our own blankets for the kids in addition to the linen provided). We felt safe and close to nature. The lighting around the campsite was cute. Able to self-check in anytime.

    The connection is very poor / absent in the room but at the restaurant and at the bar there is a good / sufficient connection

    It is in the middle of nowhere so it is very characteristic. It is very strategic to reach death valley since it is very close and it is the only offer nearby. Also the restaurant was "sufficient"

    It was ok for what it was, a bed and bathroom for the night. Very clean.

    The tiny house accommodation was located on the outer Death Valley for a quick getaway to the west. It was just opposite the pub where the view, food and staff were excellent.

    During the first night it was pretty windy, thus loud in the tent and hard to sleep. The second night was silent and better to sleep. However, it still is a tent with futon beds, so hard beds and a bit chilly during night (in May). The bathrooms would need a renovation, in the first evening there was no light and no switch to turn it on.

    Panamint springs is in the panamint valley, so within the national park, but one valley from the death valley. Check-in is at the gas station with friendly staff, they were able to sell us the day pass for the national park as well. We stayed two nights in small tents, which were spacious enough for two people and their belongings. It is camping, but with a stable and big tent with linen, blankets and towels being provided. Each tent had its own picnic table. You should definitely eat a burger at the diner, they were tasty!

    Compact, clean, a little noisy

    There isn't a lot of choice for accommodation on this side of Death Valley and on the face of it staying in a wooden building sounded like a good idea and it would have been if the rooms were detached. They are in blocks of 3 and so sound travels between them - any movements with the squeaking floor, talking etc. Fine if you have quiet neighbours whose sleeping times mirror your own I guess but in addition we had noisy neighbours so sadly it wasn't a great experience for us. Oh, and if you, like us, need cuppas to keep you going, the shop doesn't stock milk so you need to bring it with you.

    The rooms are compact but nice. Bed has very little space around it so watch your shins though! The shower and loo are nice and clean, air con or fan can be switched up down or off to meet your preference, blinds were effective. The private gated terrace was good to sit out on in the evening to watch birds in the trees beyond.
