I would never stay at this air bnb again. PERIOD. The one positive note is the house itself is clean and the location was good, outside of that dealing with the host and her rules are not worth this air bnb. Trust me you can find something nicer with a much nicer and less extreme host.
We are year 2 outside of Covid and if you want to even have a visitor step inside this air bnb you have to add them to your event total. And the host will charge you 200 dollars for each “visitor”. It’s insane that as the person renting this place you cannot feel comfortable having a guest over for even an hour without having to pay an extra fee.
Secondly, you are only able to use the hot tub for 3 hours a day (and at specific times of day) which the host tells you is because it messes with the pool filter and will turn the pool green. However after one of our party members looked at the pool and hot tub system this isn’t actually true. The bigger issue is that the hot tub flows into the pool, therefore if you use the hot tub as much as you’d like the host will have to pay an increased energy bill. As a guest you shouldn’t be told at what hours and for how long you can use the hot tub that comes with the house you paid for. Especially after paying what we did to stay here. Funny enough the hot tub wouldn’t even heat for us. Which we got a $50 dollar refund for, which isn’t enough to be considered a compensation.
Lastly, for the amount of money you pay there are no extras with this house at all. The fridge is from 1992 and cannot make ice, the host expects you to clean all towels and sweep before leaving but still charges you a cleaning fee, and you cannot adjust the temperature in the house ever because it is locked and the host externally controls it.
All in all this place is way overly patrolled, and as a guest on vacation you can’t relax because any little thing that could accidentally go wrong this host will make you pay every little dime for. Absolutely not worth the money.
