our flight got pushed by a day so we booked with Bayan. Turns out, this is not a private resident. This is a resort/hotel lying about being private. very unethical as airbnb is meant to promote community and travellers experience by being able to experience as a local. read the about airbnb.
Also, they charge $30 for amenities?? just how broke are these guys? the communication was non existent because, again. they are a private resort that couldn't give two shits about actually building relationships with travellers.
The price? just as expensive as the Marriot across the street. where we spent the rest of our trip since they actually have a full list of amenities.
when I
the only good thing about this place is the location. asked the "concierge" about business routes, beach access. nearby attractions. I got a deer between the headlights look. couldn'teven tell me what the fare on the bus is. lmao. so bad!
when I asked about the local museum whetheror not it was worth visiting, she got all insulted! it's like these guys never see ppl from out of the country.
once at the room, the AC (which again, is extra ??? ) was soooo loud! couldnt sleep with it. very noisy rooms. walls made out of paper. could hear the people on my left, right and a one me just walking. forget about talking or moving furniture around.
Also, not recommended for smokers as they make you go to a designated smoking place which is a 5 min walk to the middle of the compound. super weird.
I encourage Bayan to get off airbnb as they do not belong here. if I wanted a hotel, I would have stayed at the marriot. again. same price but you get massive beach front with pool hot tub gym, etc. AND ITS NOT EXTRA. WTF.
I've been all over Europe on airbnb and never had such a bizzare experience.
FYI on the rest of the airbnb survey I will mark off based on what is free/mentioned in the app. no more lying Bayan ;)
