Guest Reviews
- Mezzelani (10/5): - Location and conditions of property itself was amazing. Moreover, owner was very nice with us and the other guests.
- Dall'Occhio (10/5): -
- Оксана (10/5): - Beautiful house, friendly host, excellent location next to the best restaurant
- Jiménez collazos (9/5): - El alojamiento es una casa típica italiana, con un espacio delantero de árboles y plantas. Mi habitación fue grande, cómoda y decorada con muy buen gusto. El señor Félix, dueño de la propiedad, es una gran persona; muy bondadoso y amable. Considero la propiedad muy bien ubicada y en una zona muy bonita de Sorrento.
Sin duda alguna, me volvería a hospedar en el Domus Félix! La verdad, me fue muy bien en esta casa.
- Clémentine (9/5): -
- Seongchan (10/5): - 친절한 주인 없음
- Ana Laura (10/5): Excelente estadía, hermoso lugar y la mejor atención por parte del anfitrión. Muchas Gracias Raimundo. - Hermosa propiedad, muy tranquilo, hermoso.
Todo impecablemente limpio.
Raimundo, un anfitrión muy amable, atento y súper agradable, hermosa persona
- Maria (10/5): - La casa era muy linda! Hermosa decorada
- LI (10/5): - Host was so enthusiastic and his dog was so cute☺️I had a great holiday in Sorrento
- Claudia (10/5): - Tutto
- Sofiia (10/5): Всім рекомендую - Затишна та чиста кімната, тихий та спокійний район, недалеко від центру! Сам хазяїн дуже привітний та приємний! Все сподобалося!
- David (10/5): -
- Christopher (1/5): Absolutely terrible. If I could get any money back at all I’d be happy about it - Not being there The room looks NOTHING like the photos, I checked in late due to flight delays and he demanded €50 from me which I refused and if I didn’t pay he would kick me out giving me a refund within 10 days!!! He kept getting his dog to stay with me and was incredibly rude the entire time!!!!
- Maritsch (9/5): Sehr sympathischer Gastgeber, sehr gute Lage in der Nähe des Zentrums von Sorrento. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt. Inge -
- Luca Antonio (10/5): - l'accoglienza calorosa e simpatica, la posizione è molto adatta alle escursioni e alla visita della città.
- rosamaria (10/5): - cordialità dell ospitante di squisita gentilezza e attenzione. niente
- Rosa Elena (1/5): - El trato de la señora Carolina quien me recibió en el alojamiento. Solo me quede una noche de las dos que había reservado. Todo, la dirección no era la que aparecía en la información, me mandaron a otro sitio más lejos y el hombre que me contestó al llamarle por teléfono siempre fue muy grosero, le pedí ayuda para ubicar la dirección y me dijo que estaba ocupado. Y al día siguente me queria mandar a otro lugar , termine dejando el alojamiento. Que no me gustó?...... El mal trato que me dio el hombre que me atendió por teléfono.
- Liliana (1/5): -
- Gladys (3/5): Lamentable pagar por adelantado - el jardín y terrazas amplias tal como se visualizan en las fotos. La fachada hacia calle muy bonita. Ubicación cercana al centro, estación de tren. EL anfitrión a mi retirada me ofreció un descuento y solo pagué 30e por late check out y reconoció que el sitio de hospedaje no era cómodo para mi. La oficina/sala/cocina del anfitrión lucía muy limpia al igual que el piso. La "Habitación económica con baño privado" NO es la que sale en la foto sino una sala amplia en el zócalo, atiborrada de muebles antiguos tapados con sábanas, vitrinas con adornos varios y por ahí un catre de campaña con colchoneta en mal estado. El baño (lavabo y WC) ubicado debajo de una escala que para ingresar había que caminar por un mini túnel y agachado pues no tenía más de 1,10 m de altura. El anfitrión muy alterado me increpó ante mi consulta por "ducha". que se compartía en el primer piso. Las toallas urgen cambio al igual que las sábanas. No había jabón. Muchos mosquitos y ventanal sin mosquetero. No cuenta con totem para pago con tarjeta solo efectivo. no hubo comprobante de pago de late check out ni de tasa de turismo. La señal de WI-Fi solo funcionaba en la galería-lavandería
- Luca (10/5): -
- Sanja (9/5): Pleasant stay in a beautiful house with a garden. - Domus Felix is a beautiful and welcoming place. A lovely, spotless clean house surrounded by a nice garden in a fine neighborhood, a short walk from town center. The proprietor was extremely nice and helpful, always ready for a chat and giving me useful tips. Thank you Reymondo (I hope I got the name right), for telling me to go to Ravello and recommending sfogliatella in Naples. I enjoyed both immensely.
If I had gotten one of the other rooms in the house, my stay in Domus Felix would have been 10 out of 10. However, I was not placed in a proper bedroom, but in a dining room with a bed in it. Don’t get me wrong, it was a gorgeous room full of valuable antique furniture, with a patio right outside, but it was nevertheless a dining room with a bed. Another thing, I paid for a private bathroom and got a private toilet with a sink and a shared shower. I guess it is a downside of booking a room with a single bed.
Once I decided to disregard those two problems, I had a very nice time in Domus Felix and would wholeheartedly recommend it to travelers. Thank you Reymondo (and Igor, of course) for a wonderful week in Sorrento. No proper bedroom, shared shower.
- Quadrini (10/5): - Casa típica de Villa Italiana y decorada de igual manera. Muy limpia. Y lo mejor la hospitalidad y excelente onda del dueño! Como en casa!
- barrera siglreithmaier (10/5): Bellisimo - El anfitrión muy atento y amoroso! La casa preciosa y muy limpia, todo perfecto
- Vinicius (6/5): - O banheiro era compartilhado.
- Craig (9/5): -
- Alex (8/5): I had a wonderful stay here on a solo trip to Sorrento, the facilities were clean and everything was there I needed. Rai - Amazing location, walking distance to all landmarks and highlights of Sorrento Is a little tricky to find when first arriving
- Mattias (10/5): -
- Elena (1/5): -
- Ewan (10/5): Great location and great value for money, if your a solo traveller it's a excellent option I felt very comfortable - Felt super comfortable and welcomed.
- karoline (10/5): Beautiful, quiet and peaceful house. - It was such a beautiful house! In private gates and felt homely. Very peaceful surroundings and lovely host. Beautiful homely artefacts and lovely view and gardens. In the single room downstairs there was a fan but no air con, it was too hot for me in July.
On a hill.
- Susanna Assunta (8/5): -
- Ilona (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing. By the photos and category of room by booking, it was economy room. But instead I've got amazing room with garden next to it.
Also there is a terrace but I didn't have much time to spend there although the owner and his dog are very friendly. Raymondo helps a lot with all my questions. He allows me to leave my bag for a whole day.
It was very warm and welcoming place to stay.
Grazie:)
- Robert (3/5): Poor -
- Fabiano (9/5): Very close to city center and Domus gave me good tips about the amalfi coast. -
- Artem (9/5): Superb - The host was very friendly and welcoming, it was a pleasure to talk to him and spend time together. The rooms were clean and very spacious.
- Mihail (7/5): Good - Parking. Great View from the terrace and roof. Be careful with the check in times (Only between12 and 13). There is a late check in fee (€50).
The room was very cold.
- Pamela (10/5): I enjoyed being within walking distance of piazza Tasso - Convenient location
Comfortable
Friendly
- Rory (10/5): Perfect for a short stay in Sorrento on a budget - I had a great time here. The property is a short walk to the centre of Sorrento. It is also a great base to visit the Amalfi coast and the archaeological site of Pompeii. The host was very friendly and gave some great tips on where to go. You are staying in his home, so as long as you respect his rules you will get along fine. The property is much cheaper than anywhere else I looked at in Sorrento, and I'm glad I chose to stay here. Of course I also enjoyed meeting Igor, the very friendly border collie that lives at the property with the owner. Nothing
- Louisa (10/5): Excellent!!! - The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. House very clean and comfortable. Location excellent for our daily walk into Sorrento (only 10 mns). Thanks for being a great host and sharing your home! Nothing!
- By (9/5): Fantastic! - The owner is fantastic and made me very welcome and made sure I had everything I needed. The house is lovely and in a great location. Great value for money!
Emma :) Everything was great, nothing to say.
- Edgars (9/5): Superb -
- Ge (9/5): Superb -
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rose (10/5): Beautiful, antique and central property - The property was a beautiful house - my room antique and beautiful. The bed was so comfy and the little fan was useful and appreciated. Thank you to the host for going above and beyond making sure I was well looked after and even lending me some sandals after a shoe disaster, in which I had to go and get new ones. Nothing was too much for him.
Comfortable and clean. Stylish and very central. Only 10 minutes into the old town. Couldn’t recommend this more and half the price of other properties. Good value for money.
- Shreya (10/5): Felt like home - I had an amazing stay overall. The host is a gentleman, so warm and kind. The room and washroom was super clean, felt like home. And the dog was my most favorite ❤️ Highly recommend. Nothing
- Peter (10/5): Perfect! - Great location, great host, great price.
- Claudio (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (8/5): Very good - Nice property & owner. (Dog too) It was a 15 min walk to the centre of town.
It could really do with some air conditioning as the fan was inadequate in the 30°+ heat.
- Camilomsch (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marylou (1/5): Absolutely disgusted which it’s not a proper bedroom I was put in. The house has an elegant chandelier because I was put - The distance from train station is not bad. But I’m Absolute disgusted which it’s not a proper bedroom I was put in. The house has an elegant chandelier because I was put in a sitting room and slept in a sofa bed with No aircondition. Toilet was dirty and no tissue available and it’s in a little cave that you have to walk a meter and bend your neck to go in. Shower, you have to walk upstairs for shower. I felt so discriminated and I think I was scammed by this people. I contacted booking.com about this they didn’t even made anything to make it better. Very disappointing Absolutely disgusted which it’s not a proper bedroom I was put in.

- Donna (8/5): Clean, close to town, quiet area, friendly kind host, lovely dog - Raymondo was friendly, helpful & kind. His home was spacious, clean, had aircon, in a quiet area, lovely near walk to the centre…lots of bars/restaurants on the way…bus/train station near, very homely Private bathroom is only private as in it is separate and can be locked…the bathroom is shared by many guests…thus a shared bathroom
Doors only lock on the inside so anyone in theory can access your room when you’re not there
No mirror in room (not a purpose bedroom - was still comfortable)
- Sarah (1/5): Scary - the dog bit me and the man was very cross! - When I got to the property the man was in the kitchen with his shirt off. He waved me in so I opened the shutter to let myself in and his dog followed me inside. He shouted no no no to the dog coming in and so I ushered the dog out (I did not touch the dog) The dog then jumped at me and bit my wrist/arm. I checked it with a torch and it was nit cut but there was a mark and it hurt.
The owner said do not worry he does this to me all the time.
He then showed me the room and I placed my bags on the bed and he told me off for disrespecting the bed.
He asked me what I was doing the next day and told me where the shared bathroom was. He did not give me a key to the room (it had a lock inside).
I rang my friend who is a nurse and said I did not feel safe and then I nervously took my bags and told him I was going to meet friends and left.
As I got out of the property I told a couple what had happened and cried. They asked ne what I was going to do and I said I will go to the airport.
My flight back was not for another 2 weeks and I might lose the money to that too.
I have made a complaint and asked for a full refund through booking.com. They suggested leaving this review aswell as them sorting it for me.
I am worried for future guests as the dog was there when I had left my bags at check in (the owner was not there at check in time so I rang and he gave me the code) The dog was wondering around.
- Fati (9/5): Superb - Very good place, clean and close to the centre
- Laila (10/5): I could not recommend Domus Felix enough! It was all amazing, and the dog, Igor, made it even better! Would absolutely s - Everything was amazing- the location, the host, the dog!
- Barnaby (3/5): Paid for 2 days, left after one. Terrible bed - Location Unfriendly owner only focused on money. Not naturally hospitable.
Very keen to apply surcharges wherever possible.
120cm bed sold as a double - large single at best.
Dressed with sheets from a single bed
Terrible pillows
We had pre paid for 2 nights but left after 1 uncomfortable one. Happy to get out
- Giovanni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katie (10/5): Wonderful the owner was so sweet - Beautiful place and great location to walk to beaches or the city. Owner was so so friendly and helpful! He translated for me over the phone and gave a lot of helpful tips.
- Gary (3/5): Poor - The location was good
Only 1.2km from the central Train station The room was described as a king room.
The bed was the smallest double bed I have ever seen. The room was very small.
Guest towels were thread bare and obviously very old.
We were not informed that we would be sharing a bathroom with other guests
The door to our room was not able to be locked from the outside. Therefore we had to leave the door unlocked when we were not there
The host insisted that we remove our shoes when entering the front door
- Nicola (1/5): Check trip advisor reviews, as much more accurate - Reasonable location. Felt safe to walk back at night. In hindsight would have paid more for better accommodation. Cheap (for Sorrento, 230 Euros for 2 nights) but not worth it. Had thought it would be quirky but this was not fit for purpose. Avoid. Non-refundable, with check in only between 12-1pm!!!! Didn't give us same room as in booking (king size bed and private bathroom), instead a small double (with old, single sheet and child's Christmas blanket) and shared bathroom (said Booking.com wrong, didn't apologise). No lock on bedroom door, faulty electrical sockets, no toilet paper or soap for over 16 hours in shared bathroom (!!!!), towels looked like old family heirlooms, no breakfast or use of kettle, no bin in bedroom, needs a plumber for every tap. Sharing ground floor of private house with a family dog and need to remove shoes at entrance. Avoid!
- Mark (10/5): Perfect stay with great value - Large property with lemon orchard and quite sitting within close walking distance to town and bus/train. Host was easy to communicate with and provided assistance with travel suggestions Quite surrounding
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kim (3/5): Not happy - The location. Interesting house. Lovely dog. (Igor) Due to a misunderstanding, at about 5 pm, I went with a friend accompanying me, next door to a house ( also number 10)called ‘Sweet home’ - almost ‘Domus Felix’ but in English. We rang Raymundo, the owner of the property, when there was no reply at ‘Sweet Home’ and he emerged from a gate twenty metres further up the road. He was in an excitable state, telling us forcefully we were at the wrong gate. Whether he was being rude was possibly not the case but it was not welcoming.
He calmed down and later, when my friend had gone to a different accommodation nearby, said I seemed a decent fellow and told me he would consider not adding the surcharge of 50 euros for a late show.
He suggested that if I paid him for the accommodation (147 euros) directly even though I had paid ‘booking .com’ the full amount in late March, and that he would inform ‘booking.com’ to refund the amount to my bank account. I declined this offer and paid him in cash the 50 euros for a late show on the morning of my departure.
I do not know if his offer was plausible.
I have a receipt of payment for the 50 euros surcharge, should he attempt to claim this from ‘booking.com’. I also had to pay 12 euros for local taxes which seemed high to me.
I do think that the surcharge for a late show is not a fair deal even though it was clearly stated in the booking conditions. He had a midday (one hour) slot when customers should arrive. When you are on holiday midday is when you are most likely to be out and about enjoying the holiday.
During my stay, he moved me to a better room for the second night and was courteous and helpful otherwise after the unfortunate introduction. The property was very clean.
Thank you.
- Hidir (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice place, great and helpful host. I felt well from the moment I arrived and enjoyed the stay.
- Esther (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very helpful and happy a very relaxing home and a beautiful garden the area was of walking distance to all facilities train station Cathedral Sorrento also ferry port or there was bus from train station to ferry port.
- Ana07 (5/5): Passable - The location was close to the city centre Bathroom not clean enough, had someone else's hair in places, on towels, there were stains on the shower head, just didn't seem clean enough. The bathroom was bit far from the room, the room was in the basement and very cold and the bathroom upstairs. One of the blankets was super itchy and not enough blankets for the cold temperature in the room
- Claudio (10/5): Great, stay great location, fantastic host and a called Igor the border collie - Spacious room with beautiful high 12 foot plus ceilings very clean very pleasant environment, very helpful and accommodating host. Then we have the bonus. The bonus is called Igor. He is an absolutely lovable, calm, approachable border collie who loves a pet and if you're worthy he will lie at your feet on his back Leasing the air. I'll wait for you to give him a well-deserved tummy rub
- Sasha (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, just a short distance from the centre. Well priced in a beautiful house, and friendly host Bedroom door only locks from the inside but it seemed a safe area and place to stay
- Dan (10/5): To have stayed in this mansion is the stuff of storybooks; persons dream of such an experience. - Raemonde (spelling?) is a superb host (and a new friend) with his warm and wonderful personality; it was a treat to be a guest in the home he hosted. There is nothing that I did not like, which is a huge compliment to this particular rental experience.
- Lee (9/5): Superb - Nice host.
Cute dog.
Nice room. Far from main.
- Kieran (1/5): BEAWARE THE ONE HOUR CHECK IN TIMESLOT! NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS BEFORE IN MANY YEARS OF TRAVELLING. -
- Michael (10/5): Would definitely stay here again. Enjoyed it very much. - The property is beautiful, host is very helpful and kind. Location is great, enjoyed the experience. Excellent restaurants, and views of the sea just blocks away. Neighborhood is very walkable. Access to a Refrigerator, Espresso machine- though I didnt ask, and these may be available. No television- though not necessary, sometimes nice to just zone out with the tele on.
- Anonymous (10/5): The owner was so kind, clean and makes you feel very comfortable - The size of the room, clean, comfortable bed, and beautiful view to the garden Central,; convenient where you can get the port the train station and the buses to travel. Also, is a beautiful place to stay at; surrounded with friendly people and gorgeous views
- Raymonde (1/5): Fortunately we didn’t stay and I would advise this guest be taken off your list as it gave Booking.com a bad reputation - The owner canceled our booking because he overheard us mentioning a potential negative review due to his rude behavior (shouting)) when we arrived. Despite our explanation about the delay due to late bus, he started shouting and insisted on charging extra £50 because we missed the one hour (12-1 pm) check-in. He showed no concern for our situation, he would interrupt us when we tried talking and kept saying he didn’t care. Booking.com assured us they would refund the money, emphasizing his lack of hospitality and his obvious focus solely on profit. In my 42 years of travel, I've never encountered such a disrespectful host, and his strong cigarette odor only added to the unpleasant experience. As an Airbnb host myself, I would never treat my guests in such way, and both my friend would have been extremely dissatisfied if we would have had to stay.
- Ryan (10/5): Fantastic! - Lovely homely place to stay and close to the town. The host was super helpful too! On my last day I injured my foot which meant I wasn’t able to walk. The owner of the property kindly offered to drive me to the bus station.
- Carolyn (1/5): I really feel that I should be reimbursed for my stay in full for what he had put me through. - I never was off at any breakfast. The only thing I got from Felix was a slice of watermelon after he was insulting before I came and when I came. He was the rudest man I have ever met. I told him exactly why I was late I told him that the train had stopped we had to get off and get on a bus we got on the bus thought we were going to Sorrento never made it to Sorrento on the bus had to get off the bus get back on a train I tried to call him he kept screaming at me telling me that he didn't understand English blah blah blah. I was almost in tears I just could not believe someone talk to me like that in a crisis situation. What could have been better is that he should not be a B&B host! The whole setup was a joke! I am almost 71 years old traveling alone. Which for me is not a big deal especially if I had someone on the other end who was courteous and understanding period when someone tells me they don't understand English but once I get there they could they spoke English quite well and I understood them. I stayed in this extravagant room very ornate with a chandelier. The bed was an Army cot as hard as the floor. My bathroom was down the hall it had a 4 ft rod iron door. I bent over to go through the doorway which was another 3ft .Where I could actually stand up in the area. The bathroom consisted of a toilet and a sink. On the other side of the bathroom was a sliding little white door which I thought was a closet or another way out of there period when I looked I was dumbfounded I saw another cot on the floor with a bureau and a TV with no windows. He did say to me oh you don't have to worry it's your own bathroom there's no one on the other side of you period I can't even imagine that somebody would even sleep in that room and pay him for that. When he walked me through when I arrived he spoke English very well I totally understood him period so much for someone who could not speak English period when you walk me through the upstairs when we were going down to my room he said oh there's the shower upstairs but it's only used for an emergency period so I for 4 days and three nights washed body washed myself in a sink totally unacceptable! why did I not leave? well let's think about this I'm in a strange country alone thinking that my accommodations were going to be adequate which I don't even know if I would have let my dog stay there period I tried to suck it up and stay out when I got up in the morning I got dressed and I left for the whole day did not return until late evening.

- Emily (10/5): Exceptional - I had such a nice stay here - felt so welcome at all times. The house has a lot of character and was very comfortable. The location was close enough to the city centre that it was an easy walk to everything I needed. Added bonus is the loveliest dog!
- Anonymous (10/5): Excellent - The host provided us with all the information we needed, great recommendations on places to visit, restaurants, and how to get around. We followed his recommendations and we were able to enjoy so much and saved time and energy. The bed is comfortable, bathroom and terrace are excellent. Location is incredible. Igor his dog was lovely. one of the best stay we had in italy. N/A
- Anonymous (1/5): TERRIBLE - WARNING TO ANY TOURISTS DO NOT BOOK HERE! This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had at a stay. So bad that I left a day early from what I book because I could no longer stand being here. Domus was completely unfriendly from the beginning, he only gave me a one hour check in time but my train was delayed and forced me to be an hour late upon arrival. He ignore my calls and messages upon my arrival and after my explanation. Finally he responded after I had a local call him from their own personal phone. He reluctantly let me in his villa after condescendingly telling me how I was in the wrong (as if I have control over the trains).. Once I was in I put down my luggage and left for the beach because I wanted to relax and destress from such a long transit. Upon coming back to villa Domus began interrogating me immediately about my transit, about why I was late and if I had any proof as to why I was late. He then insisted that I was going to be charged through booking.com for arriving 1 hour late… I was completely uncomfortable and did not feel welcome as all he wanted was to take my money and give me the worst experience in Sorrento.. The next day without any sort of hospitality again questioned me if I had gotten the charge, again starting my day of terribly. He did not seem to care about if I was comfortable with my stay and kept insisting that I should mind myself around the other guests (I believe he hated Americans or English Speakers) because he only cared for the others… After long day I came back to shower and the water would not turn hot at all, either it was broken or he purposely turned off the heater.. Once I finished shower I went to bed. When I woke up the next day I knew it was the final straw as I woke up to BED BUGS in the bed I was staying in! I have attached a photo for reference. I then further inspected the room and saw all kinds of bugs crawling everywhere! I immediately packed my bags after 2 nights and told him I was leaving.
- Nathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikki (10/5): We had a pleasant stay at Domus. The host was really kind and accommodated all our requests. He gave us some recommendat - The location of the property to city centre
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jorge (4/5): Domos Félix no está en casa - Our arrival at the house was at 3 pm, the place has a round-trip street with high-speed cars which becomes very dangerous with suitcases. When we arrived the man was not at home, Duomos Felix, and we had to wait 1 hour outside with our suitcases until he answered and said that we should go through with a key and leave our suitcases in the garden and come back later. To enter the house, he makes you take off your shoes and leave us in a place where there is a dog that is very large and He pulls out your teeth, the man is not at home much and communication was very little with him.
The room was comfortable although we did not have a bathroom in the room, we had to walk a corridor to a shared bathroom, I made my reservation by booking for 1 night, and the next night I told Duomos Felix that I would stay one more night and he told me not to do it by booking and pay with him, at night that I saw him I told him on several occasions that I would pay for his extra night and he told me that until tomorrow, the next day Mr. He was not at home and we had to go out, but since the main problem is that he is almost never at home, I left the money paid in the kitchen under a television and sent him a photo, I paid my booking fee, later he contacted me and told me that I owed more since that night was more expensive. social networks sending messages to our contacts saying that we owe him. I don't know if his mental faculties are alright, but I think that soon after I saw him he seemed like a healthy man.
The place is a 10-minute walk to the center and you can have restaurants nearby and bus stops.

- Aaryan (8/5): Very good - clean and comfortable stay provided.
host reachable on phone for any queries.
helpful staff. Stay might be at a different location despite what is mentioned. Had to switch places and walk.
- Patricy (10/5): Pleasant stay, absolutely central location! I’ll be coming back! - Awesome house!
- Alisha (1/5): an absolute scam - There were hostels in Italy where I felt I and my things were safer. The room I was given was not what was shown in the pictures and only had a couch opposed to a proper bed. The host lives in the property but only allows you one hour to check in so he can capitalise off you charging you an extra 50 euros if you arrive at any other time. Upon checking out he forced me to pay the extra money for arriving at 6pm and then told me if I received a message from booking.com not to answer it. Then as soon as I walked out I received said message from booking.com as he had notified them that I had never checked in. Assumably so he could try and scam his way out of paying the commission to booking.com. I was not given a key for the room and a random guy walked in while I was in there. Later my AirPods went missing and I showed the host through find my phone that they had last been connected not by me from within the property thus someone there had to have taken them. However, his response was to just look harder. Only then was I given a key to lock the room but it still could only be locked from the outside. The bathroom had ants. All around horrible experience and terrible host.
- Penny (1/5): Don’t stay here! Dirty and very uncomfortable, noisy and not secure. Really disappointed. - Initially the owner seemed very nice We were supposed to have a private bathroom but when we arrived it was dirty and used (the bin was full), the shower full of someone else’s’ things.
We asked and were told it should have been only for us but another couple, their bathroom wasn’t working so they were using ours!
T
Ants everywhere.
No locks on the doors so no security for your own luggage.
Bed was VERY small and uncomfortable.
Next to a railway line and dogs barking all night (both nights).
No privacy and didn’t feel the owners made it welcoming.
The room was VERY basic for the price.
Really disappointed and wouldn’t recommend at all. Now staying somewhere else which is 100% better for only $50 per couple per night more…you can’t compare.
The owner did offer to clean the bathroom after it was used (we weren’t told before we had another couple using it) but bin still full of toilet waste paper and used sanitary which attracted ants :(
- Nicholas (1/5): Owner acted in breach of contract and placed us in different, substandard accommodation. - Nothing. We never got to see Domus Felix. The owner took us to a different property in a drab residential apartment block which was of lower quality than the property we had paid for. In particular, the replacement apartment had no outdoor seating area and we were not given any wifi information until we had spent a day there. The Domus Felix owner was aggressive, intimidating and dishonest. He placed us in a different apartment to the one we had booked and even suggested that, if the owner of this new apartment wanted more money, I should pay her in cash. Naturally, I refused to do this. The Domus Felix owner then tried to claim a 50 euro payment for late check in, even though he acted in breach of contract by not providing the accommodation I had paid for. I have to say that the response from Booking.com to my complaints has been appalling.
- Melanie (5/5): Okay but I wouldn’t book again. - Room was clean, not far from centre of Sorrento or port. Room had air conditioning. I felt the owner was a little rude when we first arrived because we went to the neighbouring property and he told us there was a photo on the booking page. Problem was, we had no data so couldn’t access photos and there are 2 number 10’s on the road. After that he was friendly and helpful.
Description was a little misleading as the bathroom was across the hall so whilst it was a private bathroom, we had to leave the bedroom.
Only provided towels for 1 guest so we had to share the bath towel. No instructions about how to activate hot water for the shower but worked it out. Limited toiletries provided but we had our own.
No ability to lock the door when leaving the room which I was uncomfortable with. No safe either. Didn’t matter so much for us as only valuable items remained in our possession.
Check in time is very restrictive and not clear why as host appeared to be there all day. Not sure many people can make the 1 hour window so presumably have to pay an additional €50 for the room. It is stated on the booking so we should have paid closer attention to the times. We did check in at the correct time but it was inconvenient having to interrupt our day to ensure we were not penalised for wanting to arrive later.
- Jodi (8/5): Very good -
- Carina (10/5): Exceptional - It's a family house, wonderfully decorated, very beautiful, and everything is very nice and comfortable. My room was in fact a living room adapted to be a bedroom, but was still very comfortable, with all the comodities and a great view and access to an interior terrace. I felt like I was in a castle :)
The host was such a kind person, very pleasant to talk to, and also very kind.
The location is also very nice, just a few minutes walking to the center. Nothing
- Patrick (10/5): Fantastic Host, Fantastic Rooms, Fantastic Location (Fantastic Dog!). Grazie Domus! - Domus was fantastic. He made us feel very welcome, had a good sense of humour. The house is stunning, very clean and well kept. He has a beautiful dog who greeted us every time we came back.
Location was excellent, right by the centre. We stayed in 2 rooms, both were gorgeous would definitely stay again. 10/10, a true gem! Nothing at all bad to say
