"Very cozy, quiet, comfortable and relaxing"

9.0

The location was great: a quiet village near a lake for swimming, with a grocery store and a restaurant. The house, converted from a stand-alone, double-garage, is fully equipped and features ecerything that is needed.

Just one recommendation: a somewhat larger table would be nice, e.g. for dining. The table could be placed outside in the patio where there is plenty of space.

"Very good"

8.0

Very tidy accomodation and great location in mangakino. The board games were a nice touch and a hit with the kids. The shower is amazing and was just what I needed after completing the taniwha haf marathon!

The sliding cavity door to the bathroom wasn't the easiest to open, I think it wasn't aligned well on the runners so was quite difficult to open.

The location was great,beds were comfy and cottage was clean.

Toilet/shower door needs to be looked at/fixed. On entering the room unable to slide door shut or open, no privacy for using those facilities.

"Paying more for average grade accommodation."

5.0

The beds were electrically heated. Sofa bed provided. A Netflix connection is available. Utensils are provided and Kitchen area was clean. The owner provided guidance to find the key and location. Towels and extra bedding are provided. Heater and Fans provided. The floor and washroom were clean. Near to the market.

There was no house number displayed, which made it difficult to locate. It is a Garage-converted accommodation located backside without a driveway. The washroom sliding door was out of order and difficult to open and close. The Wash Basin in the Bathroom is very small and it is difficult to wash hands. Windows full of molds. A portable stove is provided but no place on the kitchen shelf to install it. The pictures shown on booking.com do not match with real accommodation. The rate is very high as compared to the neighboring accommodation. No fire/ smoke alarm and no Burglar alarm installed. No Air CON installed.
