However, important things are missing. First, rooms don't have keys. Second, there is no properly cleaning. Room and kitchen had dead flyes on windows and tables. The whole place has a stick dirt floor. Third, there was no information for us upon arrival and it took a while to find out which "adapted" room was ours. I really wish the guys are successful, but changes are needed. ##### CESAR CAMILLO Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Stefanie 8 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Einzig wirklich enttäuschender Aufenthalt in Islan Leider war das Bad alles andere als sauber.
