“Very disappointing experience I would not recommend this property.”
+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.
