1- The location information was shared after my inquiries, 1.5 hours before the check-in time. And the password of the block she provided is not updated, which took me some time to get in.
2- The room is different from the listing photos, esp. the walls at the end of the bed containing blisters. Plus, the desk is not white as paper but contains stains.
3- the room was not cleaned nor tidied up before my arrival, the host also admitted that. So, I had cleaned the table, chairs & cooking desk before using them. By that means, I provide services on my own. The host did not provide any services to my side, and the only thing may she provide is the hardware. But she still expects me to pay $100 for using the uncleared hardware, and the "cleaning fee".
4- After that, the host suggested a faster way for getting the refund. The host asked me to rate a 5-star and then would only refund HKD$371 (full refund minus $100) and she claimed that she won’t be beneficial from that $100 but just like BUYING my 5-star REVIEWS only. I am not sure how many 5-star reviews on her listings are "bought" and FAKE under similar conditions: people prefer an easier and faster way to get their refund back by simply giving them a fake 5-star review even receiving a disappointing experience to avoid complications.
5- Under the Covid-19, the host did not take it seriously and used masks are in the rubbish bin. If I discovered it earlier, I would probably not stay at there for few hours but leave ASAP.
