We booked this accommodation for some peace and quiet and 'island hospitality'. Unfortunately this was not our experience.
Before booking we communicated that we would have our 2 year old with us (sleeping in a portacot in our room), Mylene assured us this was fine, we would have the downstairs area to ourselves. Her adult son and partner would be sleeping downstairs but would not be using the communal space. On arrival Mylene informed us her daughter and partner were also staying downstairs - we had had no prior warning of this. That evening the family were very loud upstairs, to the point that our daughter could not sleep. When I politely messaged, asking if they could be a little quieter while I settled her, Mylene immediately replied that if we didn't like staying there she would be happy to refund our money and we could leave. She mentioned that they hadn't all been together since Christmas and that there would be noise. We found this very aggressive. It felt as if she regretting booking guests in this weekend, and that she wanted us to leave as soon as possible.
Later the family gathering moved to a deck directly outside (above) our bedroom window. Around 11:30pm when we wanted to sleep my husband had to go upstairs and ask them if they could possibly reduce the noise. They did immediately quieten down - Mylene later messaged saying that she did not believe the noise would carry to our room and that our bathroom window must have been open (it wasn't).
Reluctantly we decided we would give it another night. That night the family went offsite and we had a good nights sleep. However the following morning our daughter woke at 7am. Anyone with a 2 year old will understand that this is not particularly early for a toddler, and part of why we checked children were ok before we booked. Mylene messaged that morning requesting we keep our toddler quiet in the morning and that we needed to keep all our possessions in our room. The things outside our room were 3 books and a suitcase zipped shut, all in the area we had been assured we had sole use of for the weekend.
At this point the family became very passive-aggressive. Avoiding eye contact and not speaking to us as we passed them on the way to our car and entering the space when we were in it without warning. We felt extremely unwelcome. We had had enough. Thankfully we found alternative accommodation and left the third night. Mylene refunded us for the third night.
Other than the lack of hospitality the setting was nice, the room spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchenette was poorly equipped - missing cutlery and a pot that we had to ask for. The coffee machine was full of old coffee when we arrived.
Overall, we found this stay extremely disappointing and stressful, and the only negative experience we have had on Airbnb to date.
