be aware hostess speaks no english AT ALL. her family communicates through the app for her from another location. when we arrived in the area, the sign to the place had apparently fallen off so we couldn’t find it…we drove back and forth this dirt road searching and searching. we stopped in at several places along the road trying to find it. (the street had no name or street numbers). when we stopped in at this place, unsure if we were in the right place, the hostess didn’t even understand we were asking if we were in the right place…even when giving her the name “Xena’s Cave”. she couldn’t even shake her head in recognition…i even showed her the listing on the phone and it didn’t register… so we went on our way. we finally came back wondering if she simply didn’t understand us at all because it seems the only place it could be. we were in town for a wedding so it was just my young adult son staying there. we dropped him off with his luggage. we couldn’t explain anything to the hostess as she didn’t understand. the place is small but cute with a beautiful view, but my son was uncomfortable staying there as he/we were unable to communicate at all to ask or explain anything … so we found other accommodation for the last two days and of course there was almost no refund for the three day stay (i think we got about $40 back. be aware the kitchen the bathroom and the sleeping area are three separate areas and you have to go outside.
i recognize that in another country, you expect people speak another language, but when you believe you are communicating with the host through the app and it turns out they don’t speak a word of english and are completely unable to communicate with you and the people you are communicating with aren’t even on-site…it was difficult to leave my son there because he just wasn’t comfortable.
