We have stayed in our fair share of accommodations around the world, and this has been our LEAST FAVORITE stay for many reasons. Let meet preface that the location is great. And the host, Diogo, is kind and very responsive.
But when you’re charging a PREMIUM of R4000 per night, then the rental, at the very least, should have the basic conveniences and toiletries that makes the accommodation comfortable & worth what we paid for.
At R4000 a night this is what we as guests were presented with:
Toiletries - No toilet paper in any of the bathrooms & no hand soap. Which is the last thing I expected to have to go out and shop for as soon as we arrived after a 15 hour travel day.
Keys- Another huge inconvenience having to find out in the middle of the night that some of the keys didn’t work, and then have to wait for one of the roommates to come home to let you in
4 old towels for 8 guests- which we had to share and re-wash continually throughout our stay
BEDS- the mattresses & pillows were old and uncomfortable, the bedding was old, tattered, and mismatched, and no blankets readily available for sleeping at night.
Dish wear- VERY LIMITED/OLD
Part of the reason we enjoy Airbnb’s is the ability to cook some meals to be more cost efficient. Again, between 8 people we had to rotate a few plates and bowls to eat a meal. And all the pots and pans were scraped up badly.
Non functioning utilities-
2 of the AC units were not functioning, which made is for uncomfortable days & nights. This place is supposed to be a place to escape the heat after a beautiful day on the beach. And there was NO AC IN THE LIVING ROOM.
One of the bathroom sinks didn’t work
At this price point this accommodation should be comparable to a 4-star hotel.
Everyone in our group is very easy going, but all of us were VERY unhappy with our stay here. I mean even our lodge we stayed at, in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest, had more toilet paper than the city unit.
NOT OKAY AT ALL. BE VERY WEIRY WHEN BOOKING THIS PLACE.
