We stayed in Yok Casa B for four nights. I will start by saying that the room is definitely unique and has lots of Spanish/Barcelona flavor. One of the themes of Yok is eco-friendly design, and this has been very tastefully done (tile, kitchen, furniture ,etc). I think the only drawback to the place itself was that there was no couch, making evening discussions between four people a bit cumbersome. In regards to the location, it was very close to the old town and the beach. We walked pretty much everywhere without any issues. The breakfast provided was simple but was served on the terrace which had a great city view!
However, it is difficult for me to give this place a higher rating because of the way Petz (one of the owners) interacted with us. When we were booking the place, we believed that the check-in time was 21.00h. This was very important because we did our utmost best to be there before the stated check in time even though we were coming all the way from Granada, which is a 900 km drive. Upon our arrival, Petz informed us that there is a 30 euro late check in fee if check ins are after 19.00h. She showed us proof of this on her listing under "House Rules". I initially objected for two reasons: 1) I remember the listing stating a late check in was after 21.00h and 2) we arrived before 21.00h. Nonetheless, Petz continued to bring this topic up every day during the duration of our stay and even inferred I was lying. She even stated that she contacted Airbnb to check whether the incorrect check in time was posted. We paid a total of $1200 for our stay, yet our hosts were hounding us over 30 euros...
Upon returning home, I noticed that Petz had requested a 30 euro charge against our deposit. At this point I decided to take one last look at her listing. And right there, in the first box titled "description of the space" it said late check in was after 21.00h. I declined the charge and told Petz where the proof was.
I understand that Petz was probably not aware of the discrepancy in her listing (i.e. conflicting statements of late check in times).However, her constantly bringing up the late fee really tainted our stay at this place. In all honesty, at this point I was expecting an apology, and she could not even apologize after I showed her my proof on her listing and that I was not lying about a 21.00h check in time. But what did Petz do? She escalated the issue to airbnb. Luckily they made a decision very quickly stating we were not responsible for any additional fees due to the conflicting information posted. I was hurt because hospitality and trust go a long way especially because we were respectful and honest guests.
