We were disappointed with our stay. For nearly $1,000/night, we expected a high standard — instead, we found stained, dirty linen on arrival and had to make the bed ourselves. The host apologised but gave no update or follow-up or compensation. The rangehood dripped oil while cooking, and there was no handwash in the main bathroom. No welcome pack — just a small bottle of milk — made it feel like a budget stay at luxury pricing. We later saw the price had doubled overnight, but the host refused any goodwill gesture and stopped replying. They misleadingly claimed Airbnb sets all terms and they couldn’t adjust anything (not true). After checkout, we got an auto message asking for all 5-star ratings and falsely saying Airbnb penalises lower scores. The communication felt dishonest and dismissive. Overall, poor value for money and disappointing service. Would not recommend.

Had a great stay. Views were amazing and the house had everything we needed! We did have an incident where the lights were not working at the top of the house. We first messaged via messages on the air bnb app, but since this air bnb was run by a company and less so people, they weren't too helpful/slow. We then called the number on the booklet in the house who is someone else that lives nearby and owns the house. They were extremely helpful and helped solve the problem promptly. However, they did not know we were staying there at the time which felt a bit strange. Other than this, everything else went smoothly
Esther B - Posted: 7/3/2025
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Esther! We're so happy to hear you had a great stay and that you loved the views and found the house well-equipped for your trip. We appreciate you bringing the lighting issue to our attention. We're glad our local contact was able to assist quickly and get things sorted — they’re fantastic! We're working on improving coordination between our team and local support so future communication is smoother. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us — we'd be delighted to host you again anytime!
