Reviews of Rio Gonio

Nice host, close to the beach (5 min walk)

Air condition is still working but pretty old, not sure how long it will last.

fresh air, next to the mountain

Reception

Clean, comfortable hotel a short walk from the beach. You do have to cross a very busy road to get to the beach. No breakfast is served, but there is a kitchen available to use and a nice shaded courtyard. A nice cafe is right down the street.

There is no reception. You are expected to call the owner's cell phone for any request. When we arrived, we were confused what to do and the cleaning person was the only staff person around. She could barely communicate, only pointed at the phone number. The owner was in the courtyard, but she didn't even bother to tell us that. Hotel should have provided drinking water, and a fridge in the room would have been nice too.

Location was good. And the owner let us check in earlier than stated on booking. The rooms are also quiet and tidy. Good WiFi connection.

Description of the property is wrong. There are no extra double bed's in any of the rooms. No kettel, nor refrigirator in the rooms. When we spoke with the owner about false description prior to check in, he just offered to cancel the booking and has said, that he never wrote such a thing. We had an overnight train trip, were sleeples and very tiried to go and look for another guesthouse right away. Therefore we stayed. Unlucky, we couldnt find any better accomodation in the area in the same price range later as well, so we decieded to not leave, cause we still had to spend most of the time outside. Later the owner said, he would correct the description, but he didn't do it up until now. Its still written, that they have extra large beds, kettel and refrigirator and those rooms are more expensive. Although, we too still had to pay more, because we have booked extra large beds, not normal double beds. No discount with that. There is a big kitchen for everyones use and you can cook there, but the door of the refrigirator is quiet dirty, you wouldnt like to touch it. On some other websites this guesthouse is described as a 2 Star hotel, but it clearly doesnt fullfill general requirements for a 2 Star hotel.
