    I did read on reviews that the wifi was poor but for us it was non existent. In today world where wifi is now free at most places it should work. Booking.Com should remove this as a facility as it is non existent.

    The location of the property makes up for alot of flaws within the property.

    No lights in the kitchen dinningroom area had to have supper in the dark. No smart TV like seriously which era you living in. Led light was not working even when charged. Toilet blocked downstairs. Wifi was not working. There was this very terrible smell coming from the freezer in the one corner. The couches need a deep clean. This was honestly the worse accommodation I've ever booked at settlers sands.

    The view was great.

    The place looked like it had been robbed recently, the wifi did not work, we could not open the back door at all, there were dirty marks on almost all of the walls. The curtains were disgusting and did not block out any light. We could not sleep because of the sound of water from the bathroom. This was the worst stay I've ever had on Booking.com. I am incredibly disappointed!!! Our entire trip was ruined because of this place!!

    Absolutely nothing, this was a horrible place and would not recommend anyone stay here!!!

    First of all, half the lights in this property do not work. The house had a very bad smell when we walked in like a Damp smell. My 1 year old was walking around with white socks. Within 1 hour, they were gone black with dirt like the house had never been moped in ages. The dishes were washed so poorly u could still see stains on the plates and Glasses. The whole house seems very dusty as if they never cleaned it after the previous guests had left.

    The location is awesome.

    The mattress are dirty, the blankets in the wardrobe were filthy, the pots need a good scrubbing, the microwave was so filthy we didn't use it. The oven for the stove was so dirty it was smelly. Couldn't use it.

    The place is close to everything. The lady who received us was warm.

    Across the road from the unit was a public space which was occupied all day and into the night with loud music and noise with litter everywhere and the complex fence was used as a urinal.

    The location and views seemed great because of the advert,. There was a water tank, so when water was cut, we were still able to shower.
