8/10 Good
"Tried the whole week previous to our stay to extend our booking one night with no response from the host therefore no support with anything else. Have stayed at the property prior and really enjoyed it. However walked in this time and smelt like old ???. We needed to air out house and dirty dishes still in the dishwasher. I don't want to dampen anyones' experience because this is a lovely bach and located across the road from beach so accessible. Just communication was shocking! Has gone up signficantly in price but I suppose that's what you pay to be in paradise."
