− La gestione della prenotazione. Ho ricevuto i dettagli per il check-in solo poche ore prime del mio arrivo, tentavo di farmi aiutare dall' assistenza di booking, ma non ricevevo nessun supporto. Qualcuno mi ha inviato un link dove ho dovuto inviare i miei documenti e la mia carta di credito altrimenti non accettavano il check in! Ho dovuto caricare i miei dati personali più volte su questo link sconosciuto, altrimenti non avrei potuto entrare in struttura. Hanno prelevato (chi????) subito 300 Eur dalla mia carta di credito come caparra (non era prevista una cosa simile!) e il link non accettava la mia firma dal dispositivo perché non era uguale a quella sul documento (ma dai??!!) È stato un problema continuo fino al mio arrivo. Non prenotate questa struttura. Assistenza di booking completamente assente come sempre nell' ultimo anno

La limpieza fue lo único agradable.

− Poca profesionalidad y recepción fría Reservamos en este B&B esperando una estancia agradable, pero la experiencia con el personal dejó mucho que desearse. A nuestra llegada, el recibimiento fue distante y sin ningún tipo de interés por brindar información básica sobre el alojamiento o la zona. Además, ante un inconveniente con la entrega de las llaves el personal fue muy IRRESPETUOSO , la respuesta de la administración fue desinteresada y poco profesional. No recomiendo este lugar si buscas un trato hospitalario o una gestión eficiente.
