“False advertising with outdated strategic pictures and an absolute horrific experience.”
N/A. I don't usually write reviews but I feel obligated to write this one. I am not going to expand too much on the false advertising and overpriced fare on this accommodation. The pictures attached speak for themselves. My price mid July dead of winter of R1455 per night cannot be more detached from the value received. I have been booking with this app for 15 years and have never had this disparity between price and true value. Outdated pics and strategic photos hide an experience that was horrific from start to finish. There is a huge difference between rustic and Run Down. To top it off it was dead winter with a nice heater with no gas as per the pics. I would like to focus more on my lesson learned through this booking. This was my first booking where I had NO OPTION for Booking,com to facilitate my payment. This should've been a big flag in hindsight. The owner whatsapped me forwarded info and no greeting but very adamant that my fare be paid upfront and cleared immediately before handing over keys. The whole focus was on payment cleared immediately before our arrival and no proof of payment will be accepted. In hindsight on arrival I realized why. I now paid the owner directly with no cover from Bookings.com before setting eyes on the shocking establishment compared to immaculate outdated pics. I can only imagine why. There must have been so many come backs from this establishment and money back requests that trapping your client into upfront direct bank to bank payments works perfectly. Well played and lesson learned for my future bookings. I will never book an accommodation that the payment isn't facilitated by
