"Good plunger coffee not instant with breakfast. Ample room with kitchen, cosy bed"
Some issues booking a taxi at reception during Zomba festival (bit too far to walk to main events)

"Chris and Saba's home is lovely, we were so comfortable during our brief stay. Chris's garden is beautiful respite from the bustle of Mekele, and both he and Saba were a wealth of knowledge for trip planning. The local honey and fresh guava smoothie at breakfast were an extra treat."

"I needed a break from the chaos of the city and some quality time with nature, and this house in Butuceni was exactly what I was looking for! I left feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the world again. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with nature and your soul, look no further."
All was perfect.

"Generally everything was good. The room and bathroom were clean"
The only bad experience was that there was no WiFi connection. I was unable to communicate with friends and family back home which made them worried and scared.

"This place was filled with vintage charm. It created a nostalgic vibe that for me elevated my vacation. It clearly had once been grandiose, and although it's greatness had faded, it was still stately. I loved the terraces, huge pool, and had a nearby beach to myself. It felt like a movie set from the 60s! It would be the perfect setting for a film. If you enjoy kitsch and want to be out of the fray, book this place. It is a short distance to a fabulous restaurant, Little, and a small grocery store/deli/bakery. Warick Parish is a short bus ride to Hamilton. The owner, Brenda, was raised here and is a font of knowledge about this hotel's history."

"The establishment is still in its early stages. The host arrived at the airport to welcome us and guide us to the location. We were their first guests. The place exudes a homely feeling with its neat design and beautiful interior decorations. The place has a small swimming pool, which elevates the ambiance altogether. The host and the staff are very kind and helpful, making our stay very pleasant."
There was nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect :)

"Property is on quite a long stretch of steps up a steep driveway.But that gives you a nice view over to the other islands. Room was clean and comfortable with TV. AC microwave and kettle.Although to use these items, you have to constantly unplug something to use the two outlets that are readily available in the room. Mrs. ann , the owner was very nice and accommodating when I needed to borrow her phone charger since mine got smashed in the metal door."
Things that are particularly beyond her control. Such as having the landscaping done the full day I stayed in my room, having chickens squawking starting at 4 o'clock in the morning and other loud birds making me wake up before. I wanted to, neighbors. playing loud music. The property itself was just fine. The only thing I and other people seem to not like about it was if you wanted to go up-and-down to the town. You have to go up-and-down all these steps and go down around a bend at the intersection. Although the other girl staying there said she found a bunch of steps down near the bottom that would have cut out the bend and came more directly up to the street. We were on that. I didn't know about. I only went down there once and then it started pouring rain and I came back up later. And never went down again.There's also limited if any parking and if you have a car you'd have to park on the street with every.One else. My biggest complaint has to be that on the booking website months ago that there was airport shuttle, it says free twice on the website. And I booked it thinking I could get a ride from the Scarborough ferry up 2 the place and then back over to THE Airport where I was staying after and this is not true when I pointed that out to her and she acted like she didn't know anything. About it well when you set up the website on booking.com. You're supposed to look it over and change anything on there . That's wrong and since I booked it months and months ago. It's been on there like that misleading people into thinking they have. At least a one way free ride to the property. And it's not true. It actually cost me the same price. $110 US to go from the ferry up to the property and then take another taxi down to THE Airport area where I was staying, which was the exact amount I paid for 2 nights to stay at the property. So I was running out of cash because no taxi drivers on Trinidad or Tobago will take a credit...

"Patricia met us when we arrived and gave us the lowdown on how to enter our room and gave us some suggestions for places to eat, which were delicious! The room was cozy and nicer than I had imagined since it was in the basement. All in all, I would recommend this room to friends."
There was nothing we didn't like. If it had been raining, we might have a different opinion!

"Nice little villa design, garden, terrace, kitchen . Good value for 💰"
When it was raining a bit water dripping inside from roof. But it’s ok bcs I think that’s drawback from the building design.

"Generally clean environment. Inside the room, there was A/C and a very good large shower. Common spaces included a sort of balcony with a drying rack."
The fridge was located in the common corridor (it had separate shelves assigned to the different rooms). There were lots of mosquitoes, but A/C made it manageable.

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

"Very cozy house with a beautiful garden! Everything was clean and we got a lot of tips from the landlord."
It is very cold and badly soundproofed, but this is of course normal for an old creole house. It is a bit irritating and might feel uncomfortable that the guardian sleeps on the veranda (we were later told that he just fell asleep there accidentally, which was certainly not the case), but don't be afraid of him.

"Úžasný pan a paní domácí. ❤️ Moc ochotní lidé. Stále k dispozici. Kdybych se vrátila do Ulcinj, určitě bych toto ubytování zvolila znovu. Chybí mi ty naše snídaně na hezké terase. Měli jsme slunný pokojík, na pravé straně, směr k ulici."
Měli jsme to trochu dál od Velké pláže a začátek Velké pláže je přeplněný turisty, tak jsme museli každý den jezdit autem. Ke starému městu také daleko. Ale bylo to blízko k hezké skalnaté části a živé ulici na začátku Velké pláže. V ubytování mne překvapila společná kuchyň, ale nakonec jsme si zvykli a byla možnost poznat i naše sousedy, hehe. 👍🏻

"I really liked the staff, always ready and willing to help, replying to messages very fast at any time, and truly considering options that could help with any problem you might have. The room had everything you need (mini fridge, closet, drawers). Bed was comfy and location was pretty convenient. Very happy with my stay!"
These are just details, but I believe the lock for the window was broken, and there was no toilet paper right at the moment of check-in, but it makes sense as they're still transitioning into the new batch of guests at that time. There were a few flies on the floor, maybe they could be sweeped more often? Other than that, the place is great value!
