This place is not as advertised. This is the first time (and I book a lot of air bnbs) that I walked into a totally different place than what I thought I booked.
It is an apartment complex, with 6-7 little studio rooms all sharing the common pool and ping pong area. You do not have a private ‘villa’ like what looks like the green building in the photos. You are there with up to 10 other random guests. The room is way smaller than the photos, with hardly any room to walk around or hang out. It was also dirty, with stains on the walls/doors and smelled like mold. We tried to open a window but they are sealed shut so could get no air flow. Probably why it smelled moldy. Pool was never skimmed.
We are in the midst of a pandemic. There was not one sign in the whole complex of 10 strangers asking people to wear a mask or keep 6 feet, or any sanitizer in the shared area. This is so important to disclose, just to be a good person you know? There are people who are immune compromised, are elderly, and take this seriously. A simple sign could go a long way.
Obviously after our initial shock we went back to double check reviews and sure enough a lot of other people have said the same things. But the host’s response seems to be that the guest should have read the fine print and it’s their problem.. I guess that’s valid but no. If you have many people all saying the same thing in their review.. you should probably fix your description or put something in clear, bold, print so people stop feeling this way. But the amount of $ these guys are probably making off this scam is what it must be, which is a shame. I just hope someone reads this and does not make the same mistake we did/ this maybe gets the hosts to fix their listing up for future guests satisfaction!
