My husband and I travel worldwide and use Airbnb regularly. We always make a point to choose Super Hosts to stay with, because as Super Hosts ourselves we know the high standards that are set and need to be kept.
Kristina was a very kind and communicative host, and the place was clean, but the room was very basic and disappointing. There was absolutely nothing extra provided. No snacks or water or even a bar of soap in the bathroom.
It took a while to find the place because no address is given. Even step by step instructions from the station would’ve helped. We got a zip code and had to get on roaming cell service to find our way to the front of the building. The mosquitoes were a major problem the first night (the 2nd night we decided to shut all the windows and thankfully it was cool enough to do that), the bed was not comfortable and the pillows were very thin. There is no lock on the bedroom door and it’s a shared house. There’s nothing extra provided in the bathroom except some cheap men’s shower gel and the towels were thin and scratchy and small.
It’s hard for me to write this because as a host I know how important good reviews are. But I also believe as travellers we must give honest reviews because then other guests know what to expect. From the past reviews and photos it seemed like it would be a good fit for us, but after the first night we both wished we could’ve cancelled and stayed elsewhere.
