Soluna Boutique Guesthouse

Sintesi di questa recensione

The guest house itself is extremely beautiful. The Wi-Fi works perfectly, no issues at all and very fast. The room has both an air conditioner and a fan, although the fan was quite dirty and the air conditioner smelled damp every time we turned it on. Still, it was nice to have the option depending on the weather. The location is in a quieter, less touristy area, so it feels calm and away from the chaos. The swimming pool has a very deep end, which is great. We felt like we had booked a hostel rather than a guest house. The communal kitchen was constantly busy, so we never really got the chance to cook when we needed to. It was often full of younger guests cooking or sitting around the table working on their laptops, leaving us without space to prepare food or even just sit down. We ended up having to eat out every day. The guest house has seven rooms, most likely accommodating two people each, but there are only six lounge chairs by the pool. Two are usually taken by the girls who stay here, so effectively there are only four available. On windy days when we wanted to relax by the pool, there were no free chairs. There’s also only one parasol, which is again always taken by the same girls. Because of this, we only spent one day by the pool and went out the rest of the time. The pool itself wasn’t very well maintained. It had a layer of green lime and dirt around the edges, along with leaves and bugs. My husband even cleaned some of it himself while we were there. It was only properly cleaned on our last day, although the green line was still there, only the leaves were removed. The duvets shown in the photos are not what we got. In reality, we only had a bed sheet to cover ourselves at night, and we were freezing on several nights. Our room was extremely small. That in itself wasn’t a big problem, but the bathroom was also very cramped. Each time we showered, the entire bathroom flooded with water and smelled damp for hours until it dried. The toilet mat reeked of damp, and we had to leave it out in the sun hoping the smell would fade. The bin stank terribly the one time I opened it to throw something away, and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned before our arrival. The water temperature also suddenly changed to cold mid-shower, possibly when someone else turned theirs on. The sink plug was broken, so we couldn’t use the sink at all as the plug was stuck closed, blocking the drain. We had to use the shower

“Agréable mais manque d’intimité dans les chambres”

The pool and the calm common areas were really pleasant, but most rooms face the street and are noisy in the morning, and the ground‑floor rooms lack privacy.

“Lovely remote stay”

We stayed in the biggest room, which opened onto a terrace; the pool was large, and the room came with coffee and a kettle—a nice touch. The shared kitchen was tidy, the fridge well organized, and each room had its own shelf. The room itself was charming and tastefully decorated; the toilet was nicely sized with a bathtub, perfect for those who just want to relax by the pool and do little else on holiday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, nothing was nearby. Buses to downtown Victoria, where all the restaurants are, run only once an hour, and the last one back to the hotel at 9:50 pm makes dinner out impossible. An Uber costs about 15 euros but finding a driver can take time. The supermarket 15 minutes away is very expensive. Our room’s curtains were not wide enough, and every day at 7 am I was woken by sunlight.

“Merci encore à Lily et Anna pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse, elles donnent une âme et beaucoup de convivialité à c”

Lily and Anna were kind and the house was full of charm and very welcoming, yet some simple equipment was missing and breakfast would have been a real bonus.

A top spot to recharge, a small farm nicely set up in a peaceful countryside. The room was comfortable, the bed good, the pool great, and the collective spaces were well organized. The shower in my room was very small, and there were no parasols on the sun‑lounger corner, which was exposed all day.
