“Nice hosts, but very basic rooms and no proper Wi-Fi.”
We booked after seeing nice reviews, but we were shocked upon arrival. The room’s condition was disappointing; I feel the owners should provide realistic photos of the actual rooms. If I’d seen the room beforehand, I wouldn’t have booked. The room was very basic, just a bed and nothing else, and the bathroom/toilet was outside the room. Later we were told there was no water at the property at that time. The biggest issue was Wi‑Fi: when we asked for the password, we were told there was none and to use a hotspot from the owner’s phone. Since we’re not from Macedonia, we relied heavily on Wi‑Fi, and the hotspot signal was extremely weak. There was barely any coverage in the room, and we had to stand close to the owner to get even a little signal. I couldn’t imagine staying like this for four nights; it would have been very difficult. There were also 3 dogs on the property. I’m allergic to dogs, so that was an issue, although I could have managed by keeping my distance. I could see the owners are nice people, and I’d read that they prepare homemade food for guests. We’re genuinely sad that we couldn’t experience that side of the stay because of the accommodation itself. We booked another place immediately and left without staying. The property is about 30 km from Skopje and is a very small guesthouse in a remote area. I think it’s important for future guests to have a realistic picture of the property, including the rooms, facilities, water situation and Wi‑Fi, so they can decide whether this type of stay is right for them. I used the dogs as an excuse for leaving, but the real reason was the condition of the room and the lack of proper Wi‑Fi.
