Please do not stay in this house. The house itself is nice and a good place to stay if you like the countryside.
However, Gus and Bernie are complete crooks when it comes to payment. Myself and my boyfriend rented the house for 3 nights which was €316 in total. Then friends joined us (2people) for 2 nights, so we updated Bernie and we paid her €170. This is totally understandable as it was extra beds/bedding being used and more cleaning needed.
We decided that we would not stay the last night as we had a long drive ahead of us and got on the road late Saturday night ( 2 of us). Other friends had come for the day to climb Croagh Patrick and were going to drive back to Galway. We offered them our room as it had already been paid for and we were leaving. They stayed instead of us on the Saturday night.
On checkout Bernie arrived and was very rude to our friends and demanded an extra €140 because there was extra people. Our friends paid because they were a bit shocked and didn't know what else to do.
Afterwards I spoke to both Bernie and Gus and asked them to refund the money as there was no reason for them to charge it. They would not refund it and said it was because I didn't text and say I was leaving. There was no added work, no extra people in the house, no extra laundry or anything. The house was left tidy and nothing damaged or anything. I find this appalling behavior by the host and a very sneaky thing to do.
After dealing with Gus on this matter there is no way I could recommend his house to anyone as it was a very unpleasant experience and they completely wronged me.
