I’m asking again how i go about getting my refund ##### Chad Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin 24 Nov 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was friendly and helpful, the property needs to be painted, the pool was full of leaves, the room had no Kettle, not even a little fridge, no hand soap, no small shower gel, The front desk could not even find them at times. In the advertising the room it mentions breakfast included this was not the case and i am very much upset about this fall advertising. ##### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vincent 10 Feb 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pics of the property are misleading. The rooms are very basic. Dated and sparse. I arrived at 3pm and the room was not ready. I had to wait until 5pm as the cleaners were out. I never saw any cleaners and my room was never freshened for the 4 days. There was also never anyone at the front desk. Never! Had to clean hair out of the drain pipe in order for shower to drain. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from rooms, even though it was a no smoking property. No soap was provided so I had to walk down the street at 10pm looking for some. It really was a bad experience. I was warned but had booked beforehand and the booking was nonrefundable. I'm not one to complain and I've stayed in some unusual places but I will never stay here again. ##### Vincent Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara-Mahalia 13 Sept 2025 ##### Tara-Mahalia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zinae 17 Apr 2025 ##### Zinae Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tamara 10 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities ##### Harry Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villas Zakynthos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Villas.d601109-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Alnmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnmouth-Hotels.d6084814.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Market House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Market-House.h37797080.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands Barbados All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-The-Sands-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h12637259.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugar Bay Barbados - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Sugar-Bay-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h10023253.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in South Sri Lanka Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-South-Sri-Lanka-Coast-Hotels.s50-0-d6055128.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Seaforth Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Seaforth-Barbados.h10085830.Hotel-Information) > > [Coconut Court Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Coconut-Court-Beach-Hotel.h852938.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Dunfermline Crossford Keavil House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Dunfermline-Crossford-Keavil-House-Hotel.h26616.Hotel-Information) > > [Melrose Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Melrose-Beach-Apartments.h10253354.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Bliss Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-The-Royal-Bliss-Barbados.h80368508.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Arches Boutique Hotel Barbados - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Little-Arches-Boutique-Hotel-Barbados-Adults-Only.h978363.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Bridgetown, Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Bridgetown.h4071718.Hotel-Information) > > [Butterfly Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Butterfly-Beach-Hotel.h118715.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tytherington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Macclesfield-Hotels-The-Tytherington.h45574526.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Garden Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Palm-Garden-Hotel.h6644345.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury villa with direct beach access on Freights Bay surf Beach Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Luxury-Villa-With-Direct-Beach-Access-On-Freights-Bay-Surf-Beach-Barbados.h27123342.Hotel-Information) > > [Leith Court Beachfront Apartments by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Leith-Court-Beachfront-Apartments.h17149896.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sands Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Coral-Sands-Beach-Resort.h4024474.Hotel-Information) > > [Yellow Bird Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Yellow-Bird-Hotel.h1287831.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abidah by Accra - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-The-Abidah-By-Accra-Adults-Only.h21962411.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/rak/london-to-marrakech) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Derby (EMA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/ema/belfast-to-east-midlands) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kavos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kavos.d6078336.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Fiji Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fiji.d57.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Waikoloa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa.d183158.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/86/Italy) ### General > [Visit Marbella City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-Marbella-City-Centre.dx553248633937780849)
