"Exceptional"

10.0

The welcome was warm and friendly. She communicated all the important details before my check in. The place was incredibly clean and homey. There was cereal and milk, which was something I've never seen anywhere. That is one of the best parts about the place. I loved that there was salt as well, very considerate. The room was amazing. It had everything I needed for my stay.

"Carpet smells of dog, room big and very cold, shower low pressure, no DSTV"

2.0

not having to talk to the owners

Carpet smells of dog. The room is wide and very cold. There is no door between the room and bathroom so it is very cold.
