WE WERE EXPELLED. PREPAYMENT CONFISCATED. Detailed story attached later. I will leave it to you to judge if we truly deserved this or if we were treated unfairly and mercilessly, or even illegally. Reasons: 1. Technically speaking, the only rule we broke, was one guest smoking on patio, which only happened once and was stopped immediately when known. However, this is not the main reason of the expulsion. 2. The main reason was, my cousin brought his dog the second night (which was immediately taken away once host complained). BUT HE READ THE HOUSE RULES posted on the entrance wall before he did so. NOTHING mentioned about “no pet allowed”. This whole expulsion thing started as a result of the HOST’S OWN NEGLIGENCE to include this rule on the house rules posted in the house. It's going to be long. So here's a few quick take-aways for those who don't have time/patience to read along. 1. READ THE HOUSE RULES. MAKE EVERYONE ELSE in your group read the house rules. BEFORE you enter the premises. 2. FOLLOW THE RULES, EXACTLY TO THE POINT. A single mistake might result in expulsion and of course, no refund of your prepayment. 3. Video cameras, lots of them, in public activity area (patio), one of them looking directly into the living room if you leave the door opened. If you are not comfortable that YOU MIGHT BE WATCHED CLOSELY, think twice. (In our case, host watched us even at midnight, both nights. In fact, the whole stay was very stressful because we felt we were being watched very closely, even at midnights.) 4. No unregistered guest or visitors allowed. Don't invite friends/relatives to come into the property. READ HOUSE RULES! 5. Be honest with how many guests will be living there. Host may be counting via video cameras, which was so in our case. 6. It is NOT self check-in with smart lock as claimed on the listing. He was personally there to check us in. 7. BIG CHANCE OF EXPOSURE TO GERMS. Guests are required to wash any dishes, cups, flatware used. This is understandable. BUT you are also required to put them back to their original places, which, one could assume, they will NOT be cleaned again and sanitized by the cleaners since there's no way for them to tell which ones are used and which ones are not. You really have to trust the previous guests on doing a good job at cleaning. 8. Make sure you do a very good job on cleaning. Again READ THE RULES!!! Your deposit might be deducted if stains are found on kitchenware, utensils, plates, cups, glasses, towels, remotes, basically almost all of the items, small or big, in the property. 9. Not recommended for big family gathering, especially with kids. It is easy that you overlook something with the hassle of group outing/gathering and it would be challenging to keep everybody's behavior under great control, especially kids'. A kid or even an adult might...
