Wow. Where to start?
The broken toilet seat, the stench of fish and vomit? The lack of communication from the host as she was constantly “away from service”. There were many many things that were not okay with this rental.
I have never left a review in my life but the abuse that we encountered from Magda’s guests on our first day in Cape Town was just next level. They started attacking my husband when he was literally laying in the garden catching sun and when my husband told him we were guests he started swearing and shouting at him and then his wife started the same. When I interjected he told me to F*** off, can you imagine - a grown Dutch man infront of his kids, telling a local women to eff off 🤯 never would I expect this from a Dutch immigrant.
When Magda was made aware of the situation by her staff, she promised to refund us and arrange our next accommodation as we felt unsafe being there and wanted to leave immediately. Honestly I have never expected behaviour like this before - but even more so, the lack of empathy that followed from Marga. As the day settled - Magda was and still is unavailable. When I finally got a hold of her she started back stepping everything she said. Not only was she not fully refunding us but she kept ignoring questions of finding alternative accom in a city that is completely booked out during peak season! People like this are the most privileged, Pompous and arrogant because they continue to treat others like this and get away with it. She has left her staff to deal with the aftermath and she is still welcoming other guests onto the property prioritising her own financial gain other everything else Ofcourse. That’s why I choose to write this - because spoilt people don’t deserve to keep getting away with rotten deeds.
