We stayed almost a week at Finca Damian. We really enjoyed the outdoor part of the finca at most and really liked how quite everything was. Jasmina had a corner with a lot of swimming stuff like balls etc. which made our pool-sessions even more fun. If you love animals, you‘ll enjoy also the many friendly cats and sheeps next to the finca. We really liked the outside part of the finca.
Saddly the finca itself was really not that special to us. Inside we had 2 ventilators and we always had them on. Despite this it was still way too hot for us. The Finca was clean, but we didn‘t feel very comfortable because the furniture was really old fashioned and was not our taste. You couldn‘t leave anything at the kitchen because there were so many ants in the house. We didn‘t know that fact and left our bread and fruits at the table for breakfast and in the morning we had a big surprise with dozen ants at our food. That was really disgusting, so we never cooked again at our finca.
Check in & Check out
The check in and out is really easy and you can do it by yourself. But everything before that was way to complicated for us. You have to first check-in and fill all our informations at a seperate website and send them via online banking the tourist tax fee of EUR 22.-. Then deposit your credit card at that random website. They balanced us 200.- as an deposit, which we really hated. We never expierenced something like this at airbnb before, but it was way too late for us to cancel and look for something new, so we just went along with it. All this things weren‘t written at the house describtion at airbnb, so we didn‘t feel very comfortable with it. During our stay we got an message from the host, that we need to throw the garbage ourselfs out somewhere at an reycling place and that was the part which was really a big no go. Even though you pay for a cleaning fee you have to separate your trash during your own holidays at find a reycling place and throw it away. Again: we never have expierenced something like this at airbnb and don‘t think its the right way to go. It should be included in the cleaning fee. Guests should not have to do this kind of things during holidays.
So all in all, we would not recommend this place for people who have the same expectations as we do. If you‘re okay with all this and love ants: go for it!
