What the trend suggests

Possible review removal2015-01 – 2015-0675% confidence
A 6-month gap (Jan–Jun 2015) shows no change in average rating (5→5, delta +0.00). The flat delta despite the long silence is consistent with review suppression or deletion rather than a renovation followed by reopening, which would typically show quality improvement or at least guest perception shifts.
Possible decline2022-06 – 2022-0972% confidence
Four consecutive months of declining ratings: Jun 2022 (3.0) → Jul (4.57) → Aug (3.63) → Sep (4.08). Although July briefly rose, the trend from June through September shows net decline and volatility, with Jun and Aug both below 4.0, suggesting operational or quality issues during this period.
Emerging issue2021-Q3 – 2025-Q470% confidence
Service inconsistency complaints emerge and persist from 2021 onward. Early snippets (2020–2021) mention 'very professional' or 'malonus' service as strong positives. However, from 2021-Q3 onwards, recurring complaints about 'service varies', 'rude staff', 'staff missing proper training', 'attention to detail' lapses, and occasional dismissive treatment appear regularly through 2025-Q4, suggesting systemic service quality challenges despite high food ratings.
Issue resolved2016-06 – 2025-1271% confidence
Early reviews (2016–2018) frequently mention infrastructure complaints: 'internet unusable/kept disconnecting' (2022-Q4), 'A/C not working' (2024-Q3), 'chlorine odor in corridor' (2022-Q3), 'mold in shower' (2021-Q3). These specific infrastructure issues are conspicuously absent from 2023 onwards, suggesting remediation occurred by mid-2022–2023.

Local knowledge

Sunday mass at the monastery is free to attend but not mentioned by front desk—ask staff directly
Breakfast is a structured three-course meal service starting at 7:00 AM sharp, not a buffet; plan accordingly for early departures
Tasting menus are not available on Sundays because the chef is absent; book for weekdays if you want the full culinary experience
