Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We were disappointed. The pictures indicated a nice place, but it was not. Guests are required to clean glasses/cups that were used.....they were really, really unclean. Towels used by previous guests were left hanging on door hooks. I am not sure that the sheets were changed as they were loose and wrinkled. There were ants in the kitchenette area. Picky? Maybe, but we expect the room to be 'finished'.

First time staying here & NEVER, EVER again. Photos of the 2 brm villa on website are extremely deceiving. Is very old, dirty & smelly. Small old air con made the whole villa smell like a fish market. Had to sleep in our track pants & jumpers as the one small putrid smelling old aircon in living area did not heat sufficiently. Living area did not have a sofa as shown in pics on website, only a round dining table with 4 chairs & the tv on wall above. Not a single powerpoint in either of the bedrooms, no bedside tables or bedside light. Bathroom is ancient & awful, dried up white paint all over the towel rail, ventilation via a gap with fly screen at top of bathroom window which lets all the freezing winter cold air in, bathroom door didn't shut properly. A previous guests used towels on the floor of one of the wardrobes. Everything just generally unclean. I could go on but I think you get the idea. Thought it might be a risk staying here & unfortunately I was right!
