- AStephen· May 17th, 2019Overall a very good trip. Peles Castle was not great - it's not a castle even - just a house. Omu hut potentially very nice but appalling overcrowding, heat and toilets.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback and review!Trip date: May 2018Review collected by Explore!
