Disappointing check-in experience
Unfortunately, my experience with this property was very disappointing, particularly the check-in process.
Before arrival, I was asked by the property owner to make an additional payment directly to a bank account. I was uncomfortable with this method of payment as it was outside the normal booking process and did not provide the same level of protection or reassurance as paying through the booking platform.
I contacted the property to try to clarify the situation, but communication was poor and I did not receive the level of response I expected. This made the arrival and check-in process unnecessarily stressful.
The property itself may be suitable for some guests, but the way the additional payment was requested and the lack of clear communication significantly affected my experience.
I would recommend that guests carefully clarify any additional payment requests and check that they are consistent with the booking platform's terms before travelling.
Overall, I was disappointed with the booking experience and would be reluctant to book this property again.
