− La ubicación no es la mejor. Tuve que esperar a las 16hs para hacer el check in a pesar que estaba disponible la habitación. No me dejaron ni dejar los bolsos. He perdido el tour que tenía después.. No andaba la TV El trato con el dueño muy lejano y frío. No repetiria

Nothing

− The worst stay of my whole life!!!‼️‼️‼️‼️ First of all when we arrived we couldn’t get in because we found out that at the áentrance there are safes with codes where the keys of your room are, but we didn’t get an email, in advance, with the safe number nor the code. So we tried calling the hosts but they didn’t answear and they even declined one of our calls and didn’t even return it back. We tried emailing them and messaging them through booking but they didn’t reply to that either. After contacting booking support many times for over an hour and filing a complaint we finally got an email from the hosts with the safe code for our keys. Second of all the cleaner came after 3p.m. while we were trying to reach the booking support, he tried helping us reaching the hosts but was unsuccessful as well. The check-in was at 3p.m. tho, so our room wasn’t ready until 4:30 p.m. Third of all when our room was finally ready it was visibly unclean, the floor was sticky, our table wasn’t even wiped and it was overall dirty and stinky. And the lamp wasn’t functional. The bathroom was in the cellar and when we went to the toilet there were 💩stains(as you can see in the foto). The whole place was very unsettling, the walls were paper thin and it had just one window (if i exclude a painting of window overlooking a forest) that wasn’t even overlooking outside but into the hall and it was so high that we had to use a ladder to open/close it(as you can see in the foto).The whole room was pretty claustrophobic because of lack of natural lighting. The only ceiling light there was, was pretty weak as well. We could hear every car, train, ambulance that was passing the nearest streets. If I could give this zero stars I would, unfortunately I can’t!!!‼️‼️‼️‼️
