Unfortunately a bad experience made worse by a ill-mannered host.
I had booked KJ’s place for two nights over the weekend for my girlfriends 30th birthday with our two cocker spaniels.
I contacted Kj to let her know of our arrival time on the Friday to which she advised the storms the night before had affected the power however not to worry it would be back on around our arrival time.
Unfortunately when we arrived this wasn’t the case the power was still out which also meant there was no water what so ever as the property as it runs on tanks and has no gravity water.
We took it on the chin completely understanding it was out of our hosts control and spent the evening by a fire on the patio whilst the host informed us she was going to a friends for dinner who had power.
The following day power had still not returned we advised Kj that we couldn’t stay the second night, we were not prepared for no power and water (we couldn’t even flush the toilet) Kj advised she had cancelled all future bookings until power returned.
I contacted Kj after our visit and requested if we could stay for 1 night in the future due to leaving 1 night early or a 50% refund believing this was a very fair request as although it wasn’t Kjs fault the power was out it wasn’t practical to stay.
This is where Kjs became rude and judgemental in her messages not something you would expect from a local Councillor!
Luckily for us Airbnb could see the hosts disrespectful messages, they agreed a 50% refund was fair so refunded us and “educated and warned” Kj of their standards.
Personally I would avoid this property solely due to the host.
