Despite all the good comments we’ve been very disappointed.
We arrived in the dark and in heavy rain, what wasn’t easy, but the description was good. There are not many lights to guide the way.
Although Jade and Dani knew our arrival time, nobody ever showed up or texted to check if we arrived safely and found everything.
We didn’t know before that nobody intended to welcome us. I think this is something you should inform your guests about before their arrival.
So we realized that everything is open, but didn’t find keys. You can lock the doors to the bedrooms and the bathroom from the inside, but not from the outside. When you leave for activities, everything is open and there’s no safe either.
There are many people every day walking or biking to the lava fields and passing by on the front street.
It would be nice to have the option yourself to lock everything or not.
Since it was raining all the time, we couldn’t use the open terrace at all and the kitchen is not really cozy. It was raining into the bathroom as well - the “windows” are only a nets against insects.
Bedding in the master bedroom had stains and old hair on it and the floors were a bit dusty. The window frame in the second bedroom had dead insects and loads of dust on it.
The house is said to be environmental friendly, but the water from the sinks and the shower runs unfiltered into the ground. Depending on which products are used that’s not good for the ground.
We didn’t find the washing machine, although the equipment list said there is one.
The house could be really great, because the surrounding is very special and the idea to build a wooden, environmental-friendly house is fantastic, but not fully thought through.
When it’s raining, it’s not nice, because the terrace is always wet somewhere and you’ve to cross it to get to one of the other rooms.
Aside from that we have a different understanding of hospitality.
