There is no air conditioning. There are no screens in the windows. As a result of this combination, this home gets incredibly hot with mosquitoes, bugs and ants. It is sleep torture.
HOME: The furniture in the home is dated and has plastic/cloth covers on each piece of furniture. The TV screen has 2 green stripes through it, but the internet is excellent with 44Mbps download, 30Mbps upload. The pool is also good and the temperature of the water during August was perfect
HOST: The hosts are very kind and helpful. They answer every question you have.
LOCATION: The location is the best part of this home. You are right on the Mediterranean and can walk to the rocks below and swim, although it was recommended to drive to the local beach. This home has a great patio to view the ocean and relax.
Prior to renting this home, I read all the details and the excellent reviews. I looked up the weather and saw that August lows in Majorca averaged 23 Celsius (74 Fahrenheit). I thought this seemed like a bearable temperature for sleeping, even without air conditioning. However, this home is made of concrete and cinder blocks. It absorbs the heat during the day and retains the heat at night. When it was 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) outside, the first floor was 28 Celsius (82 Fahrenheit) and the second floor was 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). Each evening, the moisture comes in from the ocean and it was very humid. As you try and sleep, you realize that since there are no screens on the windows, there are mosquitoes in your room and they begin to buzz your ear as you try and sleep. You then cover yourself with a sheet and it gets even hotter. You toss and turn and it becomes torture. You are trying to sleep and the mosquitoes are just waiting for you to lie still. My poor young sons were covered in mosquito bites after day 1. Day 2 was the same. On day 3, I decided I would rather sleep like a homeless person outside than to sleep in that house.
Almost all the 5-star reviews are from cooler months. There was only 1 review from July and 3 from August. During the hot summer months, the home is occupied by mosquitoes, bugs and ants (Note: The owners said they have "devices" to stop the bugs, but those clearly were not working). As the other reviews make clear, I am sure this home is fine when the bugs are dormant and the temperature is cooler during the winter.
