This morning as I was checking out, this host falsely accused me of property damages with no proof whatsoever and did not apologize which he MUST!!! Hence, I have decided to give an honest review of everything. We had some disagreements in the past but we had decided in writing that we will bury the hatchets but clearly he wants to continue to do it. This review is quite long but PLEASE READ because it involves your money. I lived here for 15 months because the rent for one person was a perfect fit and I made a lot of friends which is why I stayed back but otherwise I DO NOT recommend this place and here’s why (Before you read: Don’t be surprised if Jeishan comments on this review defending himself or if he says things about me breaking a rule or causing property damage or outrightly calls this review dishonest because that’s precisely what he does and I am aware of the levels he stoops down to). You can scroll down and see other reviews too. He defends himself on every negative review and is cocky enough to not even thank on the positive ones. DO NOT go by what you see on his profile.
1. There’s a severe issue with his air-con and he has not fixed it even as you read this. He also never lets us open the windows because they’re broken and wouldn't shut. He arranged for a fan for my room which was obviously only circulating warm air and instead of repairing the air-con he clarified that he is not going to make everyone happy. There was once this incident where the faucet had no hot water and this genius of a man took 3 days to schedule an appointment with the company. For 3 days, all the other guests used ice cold water.
2. One of the housemates who’s my close friend, renewed his booking twice and this guy charged him a 100 dollars as cleaning fee but never cleaned nor did he refund the money, instead he cited vague reasons, like those were to cover the cleaning lady expenses, which we clearly never asked for. As per AirBnB policy guests will be charged cleaning fee on every booking whether it is fresh booking or renewal and the room MUST be cleaned each time. I have it in writing from him that we don’t pay for the cleaning lady and that’s in fact the "host’s courtesy", which means he MUST clean up the room every time they pay cleaning fees.
3. He has kept a small trash-bin amongst 8 rooms for discarding compost and grabage which is not sufficient. We have a cleaning lady who comes just once a week to clean the house and the bins are overflowing. When this was brought to his notice by the cleaning lady and the guests on several occasions, he expected the guests to clear the trash instead of providing a bigger bin. One of the notes left by him in the house for cleanliness says that it is our “job” to keep the house clean. Excuse me?? Job!!! Dude you don’t pay us to clean your house, get your definitions correct. You will find a lot of notes with rude and harsh words.
4. While moving out, where it was a sudden decision to move, I asked him to be a little lenient with me and give some consideration on the cancellation policy since I have been a long time tenant. However, he did not give any consideration of sorts and rather told me how difficult it is to get tenants. Guess what, there was a new reservation on the 5th day after my reservation was altered and it was for the same period for which I had already paid. Do you see what I mean?
5. There was a trespassing incident in the house recently for 3 days straight and I had to flag it to him. This shows how ignorant he is about the security of “otherwise so dear to him” house and how much he is ok with putting his guests in jeopardy. Of course he did not acknowledge or say thank you yet again for my gesture.
I speak from experience, PLEASE DO NOT waste your time & money.
