Szuper szállás
Dear Christine !
They were very kind and helpful hosts with everything, and they even recommended restaurants and programs!The apartment is in a great location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach!We had a very pleasant rest in the afternoon in the apartment's garden, under the shade of the beautiful flowers!Payment for the accommodation can be chosen from the options provided by the host; this is completely normal on this island and cannot be done through Booking!Overall, we had a very nice holiday in this comfortable and decorative accommodation; the two spacious rooms and separate bathrooms added a lot to our vacation!We will be very happy to recommend it to others!

Comfortable and quiet stay with great layout, but the property would benefit from some refreshing.
Spacious enough.
Having 2 bathrooms.
Pleasant and well-thought-out decorative style.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed
Although the location may seem a bit far at first, it’s only about a 5-minute walk to one of the main streets, and you benefit from a quiet area. I would rate the location a 9.
You will be contacted to pay before arrival(like 1-2 days) , I think this is how things are being done there. No worries about this.
The property could use some renovation, such as repainting and a rebuild of the shower cabin in the small bathroom. While it was likely very fresh and appealing when first opened, it now shows signs of wear and could benefit from some updates. This is the main reason for my overall score of 8.

Cozy apartment
We liked the location and the apartment itself is very cozy and clean, but the first day we arrived and the last night of our stay there was no electricity in the house. Communication was very good in the beginning and because of the electricity issue (no light, no battery on the phone, no internet) we were just waiting and hoping for it to be fixed the same day, but at the end we had to stay in the other apartment (offered by the landlord) a bit further from the center. The landlord promised to pay for the taxi next day as she was away (we stayed there only the first night until electricity was fixed cause this is not what we were looking for location wise). This is not something the landlord can control, but A+ for problem solving.
- Communication was great at the beginning but as soon as the last day came and we asked if she could call her taxi (for our airport transfer) and pay that money for traveling on the first day to the driver directly, reply never came, communication stopped right there. Not that day, not the next day. I sent messages what time we are checking out, heard back nothing. It’s really not much money, it is more question of respect. We were flexible with unexpected moving, arranged our own taxis, communicated well, but somehow as soon as the question about taxi money came we were ignored.
- outside garden had quite many cockroaches but again, this is nothing that landlord can control, so it is just a heads up and not a complaint.

⭐⭐ Un esperienza al di sotto delle aspettative
Struttura in ottima posizione, fuori dal centro e in una zona tranquilla. Il famoso pontile (che ora è in fase di ristrutturazione) si raggiunge comodamente in circa 10 minuti a piedi. Molto bella internamente ed anche la zona barbecue esterna, ben riparata e perfetta per godersi un pasto in tranquillità.
Materassi comodi.
Nel complesso la struttura ha del potenziale grazie alla posizione e agli spazi esterni, ma servirebbe maggiore trasparenza e più attenzione ai dettagli.
La pulizia generale dell'appartamento non era purtroppo al massimo, si poteva fare decisamente di meglio. Le foto dell’annuncio non corrispondono completamente alla realtà: in bagno nelle immagini era presente il bidet, ma in struttura non c’era. Inoltre, al momento della prenotazione era indicato “nessun pagamento anticipato”, ma il proprietario ha richiesto il pagamento completo qualche giorno prima dell’arrivo.
Altro punto importante da sapere per i turisti: possono verificarsi periodi senza acqua corrente dal rubinetto e non è possibile sapere né quando mancherà né per quanto tempo durerà il problema (solito per le isole).
Le lenzuola e i copripiumini non erano molto comodi, inoltre ci sono stati dati copripiumini singoli invece di uno matrimoniale. I cuscini del letto erano piuttosto scomodi, compromettendo la qualità del riposo.

Dear Christine,
My initial rating of 8.0 was a generous gesture despite all the issues we encountered. However, since you choose to defend yourself with completely incorrect arguments and excuses, this experience is worth a 1.
To clarify the facts:
Payment Terms: If your listing states "no prepayment", the payment must be collected on-site. Demanding the full amount a few days before arrival is a direct breach of the agreed booking conditions. The platform's limitations are your responsibility to manage, not a justification for changing the rules last minute.
Photos and Bidet: If an amenity is permanently removed, the pictures and description must be updated before a guest books. Finding out on-site that it is missing is, by definition, false advertising.
Bedding: You cannot assume that what is 'good enough' for other guests must be acceptable for everyone.
