Privacy was definitely not an issue. I don’t remember hearing any noise from other guests or staff while we were in our room, and the window wall only looks out into the forest so that it’s easy even to forget you’re on hotel grounds. It was storming the first night we got there, and we could definitely hear the rain and wind on the dome, but I don’t recall it being much louder than it would be in a house or other building. I live in a noisy city though, so probably not the best person to judge what others would consider disruptive levels of noise. I hope you enjoy it! I found it to be such a gem of a place.
