    False advertising, holding private parties, disturbing guests' rest! Threatening guests to call the police?

    Property response:

    First of all, it wasn’t a private party—it was simply a dinner hosted by one of the guests who lives in this villa. It was inappropriate and unlawful for you to record others with your phone while they were eating, especially without their knowledge or consent, as this occurred in a private space. Your yelling and shouting inside the house alarmed other guests residing here. This behavior made them feel unsafe and uncomfortable. For these reasons, we reported the situation to the police. The other guests were genuinely frightened by the noise and disturbed by the fact that you were filming throughout the house without permission. Additionally, you wrapped a painting on the wall with toilet paper, stating that the smiling child in the image made you feel unsettled. You also attempted to claim a refund for one night of your stay based on an unreasonable complaint which was rejected by Booking.com. We are continuously working to improve our service and ensure a pleasant and safe environment for all our guests. If any behavior arises that is unreasonable, disruptive, or unlawful, I have a responsibility to protect the well-being of everyone in the villa and involve law enforcement when necessary To ensure the peace and safety of all other guests, we’ve made the decision to report you to the police. Your behavior was highly disruptive, and it’s my responsibility to protect the well-being of everyone staying here

    We liked the flexibility and hospitable feel of the home. Our plane was cancelled so we didn't arrive until 2am and that was OK. When we emerged next morning Joni, our host, encouraged us to 'make ourselves at home' and that evening we had a lovely conversation with her. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable and with some wonderful.phitos on the walls. It was also in a quiet neighbourhood where it was easy to park.

    A few more general.directions could be helpful. For instance, the way to the downstairs garden and pool wasn't obvious. Aside from that there was nothing not to like!

    I booked a relaxing stay, and it was absolutely worth it! Joni was incredibly helpful, and the place was spotless and well-maintained. I also loved unwinding and swimming in the pool—it made the experience even better.

    Extended our stay here for the holiday, and it’s just as amazing as a summer resort! We loved soaking up the sun after a refreshing swim in the pool. The Pool Unit was private, spotless, and incredibly cozy. Enjoying wine under the moonlight by the pool was such a highlight. The location is perfect too—just a 2-minute drive to the harbor bridge!

    Nothing particularly

    Photos do not reflect reality, the accommodation is small, there is no real kitchen nor bathroom. There has been a double booking, no one was there to sort it out. We had to wait 90 minutes. The landlady should understand that part of hosting visitors means going down from her balcony to meet them.

    Property response:

    Hi Bruno, Thank you for your message. The deluxe pool view room you booked includes a shared kitchenette and shared bathroom. However, as a gesture of goodwill due to your previously missed bookings, I kindly upgraded you to the Pool Unit. This unit features a modern kitchen and a spacious bathroom, offering a much more luxurious experience. The Pool Unit is double the price of the room you originally booked, and I absorbed a $500 loss to accommodate you and empathize with your earlier situation. I didn’t anticipate this would lead to any unpleasantness. The Pool Unit’s spacious, modern bathroom has always been a favorite among our guests, and the photos accurately reflect the space. Regarding the check-in process, all the necessary details were sent to you via email in advance, so there was no delay on our part. The modern kitchen in the Pool Unit is equipped with a high-quality electric cooktop with four elements. It is a standard facility found in kitchens globally, and we were not aware that you needed assistance using it. If you had reached out, we would have been happy to help. I understand that accommodation standards may vary in different countries, and I apologize if our property did not fully meet your expectations. We sincerely appreciate your suggestions and will use them to further improve our services to ensure we continue providing the luxurious experiences our guests have come to enjoy. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Joni X

    The price

    That it was sharing a house, and not clearly specified. We were under the impression it was a separate unit. Not clean or tidy. We did not even stay walked in and out.

    Property response:

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Deluxe Room didn’t meet your expectations. Please note that its shared bathroom and kitchenette were clearly indicated in the Booking.com description. For a more private experience, we highly recommend booking the Two-Bedroom Villa with a pool view, which features a private bathroom and kitchen. However, please keep in mind that its price differs from the Deluxe Room, as the latter is more affordable due to its size and shared amenities. If you notice anything that requires attention, please inform us so we can address it promptly and ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Thank you again for your valuable suggestions—they help us improve our service. Best regards, Joni X

    This place is so cozy and spotless! It felt like a luxurious resort, surrounded by great facilities, lush plants, and flowers. The location is great, close to the city centre. I absolutely loved the pool, and having a park right outside the house was such a bonus.

    A wonderful accommodation featuring stunning pools, cozy sun lounges, and large sun umbrellas surrounded by fragrant roses and Christmas lilies—truly an unforgettable holiday experience. The room comes with air conditioning and a pool view, while the furnishings are modern and thoughtfully designed. The spacious lounge connects to a large balcony offering picturesque views of mountains and trees. I particularly loved the artwork on the walls—beautiful photographs taken by the owner. The location is incredibly convenient, just 9 minutes from the CBD and 2 minutes from the harbor bridge, making it close to virtually everything. I will definitely come back again
