Cons:

Actually,we didn't able to check in where in fact that day we're infront of the guest us hotel I call the number and she said coz I didn't reply the day before my book is cancelled,coz of that the neighbors in. The street help us to look for other hotel,we walk long way looking for guest house.my arthritis is killing me while walking with luggage.the worst part of it is,we're not able to attend the wedding.coz were looking for place to stay that night.it also change the checking in Time from 2pm to 4pm.and if we're are delay to 6 or 7pm we need to pay £25 Extra.and in online there's additional £4.97 each person as waiver and deposit non refundable what a scam.the neighbors said that blue skye guest house should be close down coz there's always having problem there.its really devastating experience,stress,pain in walking coz of arthritis looking for hotel.we went to Albany hotel we told our story and pity us they help us look for hotel,and booked us in Langford hotel.and we also told Langford hotel what happened to us.you can investigate to this two hotel.and see who is telling the truth us or the blue skye guest house.its a nightmare experience I deed.neighbor said sometimes they using different name.that blue skye should be block from booking.co coz it's a scammer and a pest for traveller.

Horrendous and we didn’t stay as it’s a scam
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We paid for the hotel and turned up, it then asked for an extensor long winded id process that felt suspicious. After I did that, it then said I had to pay a further £25 late check in fee… despite no warning of this and I had booked it an hour before arriving.. upon paying this, it then said I had to pay more fees for the keys to be deposited. There was no staff at all, so we knocked on the first door, which was clearly an escort service, who threatened us. We then asked. Guy who came out the room if he knew what was going on, he said not my problem, and it was clear he worked there. It was an almost eerie experience and the only contact was a ai Watsapp that then disappeared after it took my money. We was left stranded with no money and had to stay on the beach. I still can’t get my money back. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. One of the most horrible experiences I’ve ever had.

Cons:

​"I booked a room for one night. I arrived at the hotel at 11 PM, but I couldn't get in because the pincode they sent me didn't work. I was stuck outside for an hour. I called Booking.com support and they cancelled the reservation, but the hotel is refusing to give me a refund. Lol, can you believe that?"

Pleasant stay , straight forward check in , pay attention to the messages on WhatsApp as you have to pay an insurance fe
Pros:

The location , instructions how to gain entry, our pet seagull ! The rooms are great for a short stay and do the job! Reading other reviews makes you think what your booked yourself in for but I think the reviews aren’t giving this place enough credit, seems like people are being very picky. We enjoyed our stay. I’ve also added photos
Free linen , clean bedding , coffee tea available.

Cons:

The shower was temperamental .

RIP off in every way
Pros:

The room was the size of a double bed.Couldn’t both walk at once. Dark. Dirty and dinghy. Never cleaned. Worst of all the internet hardly worked. No one cared. I had 3?phone numbers they take 24 hours to answer. I kept having to help other victims, access their room and/ or check in. It’s daylight robbery. They never replenish coffee or tea. There is no chair. There was a constant electric fault written on the electric board. It was really hard to get in. I had to check in with I’d to 2 separate phone numbers. The place is daylight robbery. No heating. It took me two days to get a winter duvet and extra pillow

Cons:

I didn’t like all of the above. No service. No housekeeping. No internet working properly. Entry light to dark. Stumbled to find inadequately sized room in order to sit up on bed, as there is no chair, I needed to keep the toilet door open to move the bed to sit up against the wall. It was dirty and disgusting, in that no one cared, neither to clean, replenish coffee or give any service. I was promised double room with balcony and got double bed in a single room for a fortune

Horrendous - do not book.
Pros:

Shocking hotel, to say the room was so unclean, there was a cockroach in the bathroom, it was horrendous.

Cons:

Paid £20 for an early check in, nobody answered the phone until after the early check in had finished so I lost out money and didn’t even get the service!!
