Villa Wilhelmshöhe by Rujana

Die Lage im Ort war gut, in 10 Minuten am Strand und am Bahnhof zu Fuß. Später Check-in war problemlos möglich. Bettwäsche und Handtücher waren vorhanden.

Die Bezahlung lief nicht über Booking, die Ausstattung war nicht wie angegeben (kein Balkon, dafür aber Handtücher und Bettwäsche), der zu der Wohnung gehörende Stellplatz war nur befahrbar, wenn die anderen daneben frei sind, die Wohnung verströmte einem sehr unangenehmen Geruch.

Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind sehr gut ausgestattet und es fehlt an nichts.

Ruhige und strandnahe Lage der Wohnung. Die Wohnung ist über einen separaten Eingang (mit Treppe) begehbar. Parkplatz direkt im Innenhof (ja, Einfahrt ist eng, aber mit Kombi gut machbar). Wohnung hat alles, was man für einen mehrtägigen Urlaub benötigt, sogar eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit Tabs gab es. Mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar.

Es sollten unbedingt Fliegengitter an den Fenstern angebracht werden. Wir haben viel mit Mücken und Fliegen zutun gehabt.

Wintergarten

The apartment is well located directly on the start of tourist paths, about 500 m from the sea and Binz centre. Well equipped, all working, clean, The kitchen is small and not suitable for bigger cooking (e.g. no baking).

The big drawback of renting through Rujana Ferienwohnungen is the communication. While my booking on the web was in English, all communication via email comes only in German. The communication is quite extensive, contains important information, though prefabricated. I have basic understanding of German, but needed translation software to get an understanding of the messages. On a polite request to receive at least the key information in English there was no response. I would understand language issues at a private individual, but not with a firm managing tens, potentially hundreds, of apartments.

Good furnished and clean apartment. Hosts were very kind and helpful.

I liked that the apartment had everything I needed, including coffee filters (I brought my own coffee) and that it was very close to the forest. You can literally just cross the road and start hiking to Sellin, along several trails. It's also less than a 10 min walk to the beach. There was a drying rack available in the garden too, helpful to dry swimwear.

The process of getting and dropping off the keys was more tiring than expected: first long wait in line to the office, and the keys have to be back there BY 10 am. Since there is considerable distance between the apartment and this office (about 20 min walk with a heavy suitcase, including a hill), this is really tedious if you are not traveling light or with a car. There is no sound isolation on the door, so I could hear all my neighbours going through the main hall in the morning; this woke me up again and again. There is a church and a construction site right next to the building. On Sunday, there is noise from mass, on weekdays, from the construction site. It's less noise than expected, but it will not be restful if you plan to sleep in.
