COLD ROOM, NO PRIVACY, YOURSELF BUT PAY FOR IT TWICE
It was so bad I terminated early and had my last days at another place
I already paid cleaning fees when I booked this so poor room, how can the host ask me for additional cleaning fees? how can he pretend I will have to pay them on a weekly basis? how can the host even ask me to clean everything I use, including the kitchen, and the bathroom? This is utterly unacceptable. I paid for that. Its a home, not a hotel, but we're not friends: I pay to stay here. I expect a service to be delivered.
Besides, in this horrid room you will not actually rent a private room. How can you have privacy when there is no locker? The host is used to take bath without closing the door and make a lot of noise (I should have recorded it as proof). The host once even came into my so-called private room and moved my things (I can prove it). A private room with no privacy isn't private.
But the climax is really the lack of heating in the badly insulated room. I can prove the host calmly states: « here in the UK it's very common we don't heat all the day ». I didn't think the UK was so a poor country. Slovakia, Romania, Belgium, France, Finland… nowhere else I have heard such thing. Of course you can ask the host to heat your room more than 4 hours a day, but he will insist you pay £14 more per day.
The host insists he is « a well-groomed, experienced professional ». LOL. What does he has experience of? I'm not sure. But I know I for myself a terrible stay.
An hotel is better: less unpleasant interactions, less expensive.
