For everyone who wants to have a cheap apartment i guess this will be a good fit. Other than that, we have to say that it was a real mess staying there, which made our days on Gozo very stressful- for us it wasn’t worth the money saving.
To the Apartment:
The apartment is really spacious but was not cleaned at all when we arrived. Everything felt kind of sticky and there was a lot of dust and dirt. Also there was hair on our bed and some stains on our sheets. When we talked to the Host and send him the pictures, he didn’t seem understanding and did nothing. Even when we checked out of the apartment it was cleaner than before, we collected every used towel and sheet and put it on one spot, for them to put it directly in the washing machine.
Location:
The apartment is located nearby a nice bay with some minishops and restaurants. There are also really nice hiking ways around the corner. For the supermarket and top beach spots you need to drive a little further. Unfortunately there was a lot of construction work while our stay, which we weren’t informed prior. So we couldn’t sleep really well.
About the host:
One day we came back from a diving lesson and wanted to enter our accommodation. The downstairs door was closed. We tried to open it with the keys the host gave us. Unfortunately we realized that he didn’t gave us the any key for the downstairs door. First it was really hard to reach him and after we reached him, he and the maid both started blaming us for closing the door. None of us even touched the door. The day was really windy and there were also a lot of construction workers- so only god knows how this door was closed. After we explained that we didn’t do anything and asked them if they maybe can send someone over to help us, they responded really rude and said there is nothing they can do. So they left us behind closed doors. We asked neighbors and some people from a bar around the corner if they can help us opening the door. At the end we were just happy that we didn’t had to sleep on the street. We tried to be as understanding as you can be when you are left behind closed doors and texted him and the maid that we manage to open it after almost 2h of waiting. But they were still mad and rude. From that moment on we decided not to talk to them anymore, because whatever even obvious mistakes they did, they were always trying to blame someone else or even the guests.
Normally I don’t give bad reviews, but not only they didn’t try to help us, they were also really unprofessional and rude when it came to a “problematic situation” they caused. Which in my opinion is a big disadvantage for a host. As an Airbnb Host it’s also important to give full access to the accommodation the guests are paying for, which hopefully he will work on in the future.
