Unfortunately, there was nothing to like as I was not accommodated despite having a booking.

The owner was not honest. I was told the property was full and that they could not accommodate me, even though I had already made a booking. This was very disappointing and unprofessional.

The service is terrible. Please do not the mistake of booking there!!! For your own mental health; there’s no privacy, the infrastructure is collapsing, bathrooms are out of order and it’s not entirely safe.
