““Stunning” villa gone wrong!”
I don’t even know where to start. We were so ecstatic about this villa in beautiful Guanacaste. Upon booking the pictures were dazzling and the villa looked stunning. We would soon find out this was the biggest false advertisement scam in our entire life. Architecturally the villa is beautiful, the view is outstanding and the pool refreshing. Other than that the villa was FILTHY, just GRUESOMELY DIRTY. Some pillows had mold, the curtains in the bedrooms were disgusting to look at. The showers were all rusty and shower curtains all had mildew . The inside of the toilets were dirty, stained and a particular one was infested with ants. It was truly terrifying to say the absolute least. We went to the town to buy bleach and spray down all of the showers. The bedsheets were raggedy with holes on them. There were bugs in two of the bedrooms upstairs. The bugs would Cling onto the curtains, about 3 at a time. The towels were basically wash rags. The whole villa was seriously outdated. The cabinets under the kitchen sink smelled like dead animal. We had plans on cooking for a party but we found mice droppings in two of the three pans in this “fully equipped kitchen.” That was yet another blow, the advertised fully equipped kitchen had zero working appliances. Both coffee makers were broken and water would come out spilling from the sides. The coffee cups were something you would find at a one star hotel. The only three pans were so rusty we opted to just eat out the 3 nights we were there. The furniture was old and dirty. I wish this house would be properly taken care of. It has tremendous potential and I can just tell if it was in the right hands it would hands down be one of the best houses on the hill. When we told the host about the complaints he responded to my aunt and said “well what did you expect for the price you paid” That sincerely infuriated me because almost 600 DOLLARS a night is not a cheap price at all. Even if we had paid 100 dollars a night, is the hygiene offered on these homes contingent to the price? The hygiene in the middle Of a pandemic? So because 600 dollars per Night is not perceived as a lot of money we have to settle for less than enough? Settle for the absolute least? The owners answer was very much pathetic and the ignorance behind it made it that much worse. TripAdvisor if this is the type of service and quality you bring to the table, then thank you but no thank you. I plan on tweeting about this experience. You’ve forever lost a faithful customer. I will attach pictures to prove my point. Thank you and happy new year!
