Paula’s communication was excellent, her house spotless and she was extremely helpful and informative as a host.
Our expectations however were tarnished by 2 things and as the booker I was in ‘damage control’ with the rest of the party from arrival. Photo No. 2 which on mobile app does not offer a description and is displayed in between a photo of the house’s exterior and pics of the lounge and kitchen is the most exceptional view of Hahei that everyone expected would be from the house. Some houses in Hahei do have views like this but not this one. I own the mistake as further investigations on our laptop show it does have a description and the wording would indicate this house does not have this view, but in the ‘quick scroll’ generation this shot was what hooked us initially and made us book.
Secondly perhaps because it was ‘Beach Hop’ weekend I think the price of $400+ per night was inflated for the house so again some of our expectations for this price were not met based on experiences we’ve had on Air BnB before.
Sorry to drop the ratings on this review Paula and not bring it up in person because in all honesty there was nothing you could do once we’d arrived and paid for it, and I certainly had no wish to ruin our weekend by dwelling on it.
