I booked a room for two Nights via Airbnb. As soon as I booked , I received from the host a manual with the “house” rules. When we arrived, the host was too happy to repeat all those rules verbally. She seems to be very much obsessed with her rules . Every rule reminds you that you are not at home. Moreover, every rule should simplify the host’s life : no entry into the common zones or to the garden after 10pm, you should bring your waste to the recycling boxes so that she does not need to clean your room etc. The room was located next to the eating area so if there are any guests who take their breakfast at 7am, it is extremely noisy. If you want to take the shower, you need to wait for 7 minutes for hot water to come. The room was very cold at night.
After one night, She kicked out us from the guesthouse because we did not respect the “house” rules. She even called a police who waited for us near the room. She told us at 10.45 am that she wanted us to leave the house and at 11am she called the police because it was the check out time and we did not leave the house on time. What was the house rule for which we were blamed ? That was my first name which did not correspond on the Airbnb page and on my ID even though my last name was the same, there was my picture on Airbnb page, Airbnb had a copy of my ID and the host took a photo of my ID. I explained that my name of Airbnb is my second name which is a name of my mother as well. She did not want to listen at all. She is not capable to listen and does even try to listen and to understand . The second reason was that we dared enter into the “lounge” zone after 10pm and my bf played an electronic piano with the earphones and with zero noise! She did not want to listen anything and the only thing she knows is repeating the same phrase :”this is my home, this is my rule”. So after 10pm you cannot sit calmly in the common zone. Thanks to Airbnb, we found the option for the second night and did not stay for Christmas outside - I appreciate that.
Her husband (English man)
seems nicer but is under complete influence of his impatient, suspicious and “crazy-about-rules” wife.
The price in the low season was double lower but in the high season it is higher and does not correspond to the commodities that her guesthouse has to offer. For 90 euros you can find the accommodation that costs that money .
If you are not a cyclist or a hiker, you will not be very much welcome because she expects her guests to wake up early, get out, come late and sleep until the next early morning. Her kindness is false and you will reveal it at the very first occasion. If you love rules and have time to read those when you are on vacation -good luck in this crazy and obsessed “guest” house where you will feel yourself as a burden.
I am sure that there are people who don’t care about the way they are treated and blindly stick to the rules that other humans create for them but for those who are sensitive ones or just try to think - you will see In this guest house a miniature copy of our degrading society And willingness of every small creature to feel their force and power by creating their “little society” and kicking out those who did not Do any harm to them them in any way.
The only thing I enjoyed were two lovely dogs who stayed at our feet while we were taking our breakfast.
