Cons:

I arrive at the property and they gave my room away. Because I arrived late at night they didn’t think I was coming. I asked if they received a call from myself stating I needed to cancel. She said there was no message to cancel. Then why cancel my room. They gave my room to a man who needed three rooms and they only had two available! Such an inconvenience for my family and I! We had to find a room somewhere else late at night.

Bad experience
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Cheating!
They didn’t give 2 queen size bed as we booked. They said they tried to contact me but my number was not on Booking.com! That is wrong statement.
The room was not clean, there was stain on most of the linen towels.
Total disappointment
