Objectively, the house and the room we booked both are very clean. It takes about 20min driving to the town center. Quiet in the evening.
But we still don’t feel comfortable in this house. As the rules listed below
1. Guests can only take a shower once a day, maximum 10 minutes.
2. Can’t use the kitchen or laundry(still cannot wash any clothes in the bathroom).
3. Can’t eat or drink in your room.
4. Have to take all the towels or any private belongings back to your room after using, even they are in wet.
5. Have to shut down all the lights in the public once you finish, even you will go back in a minute.
6. Have to clean after using the public area.
7. If you forget any rule of the listed, you will be informed immediately. Be ready for that.
The experience in Queenstown is amazing, the only thing we regret is the place we chose. We were informed lots of rules on the first day, and heard some thing talking in front of us(what a pity that I actually know some Korean). But we couldn’t book another place at that time, coz in those days all the hotels were fully occupied. So we chose to stay outside whole day, went back directly to the room, barely using the public area, and left in rush in the final day(so rush that we forgot to take the cell phone charger).
After about 5 minutes driving from their place, we got a call. I was asked that the water spot on the sheet is what?(I guess they must think it’s the urine spot?). My little daughter was so thirsty when she woke up that morning, so she grabbed the bottle and drank a lot of water and dropped some water on the sheet. Btw, they didn’t mention the charger. So embarrassed.
We should be very cautious in the house, which makes us really uncomfortable. It feels like you are living in somebody’s shelter without paying any penny, and should be ready for making any mistake.
Overall, the husband John is great.
We did nothing wrong, we deserve better treatment. Don’t take every foreign guest as a fool.
