    Host said she wasn’t aware that people booked. No one was made aware that we booked. There was cockroaches everywhere including in the cupboards, all over the dishes & cutlery and all over the counters. It was an instant put off. Most light bulbs were burnt out so at night there wasn’t much light. Dstv was disconnected.

Apartment infested with cockroaches and bedbugs, got bitten while asleep, had to check out a day prior. (I need my day's refund). 4. Bedding smelly 5. Insufficient crockery, no bath towels That place is not suitable for holiday accommodation

    Lift is rusty and out dated building on the inside. You can tell by looking on the reception and lift that it's not what you expected for the value of your money. The corridors are dark and bathrooms are very old fashioned. Especially the shower floor is dirty and terrifying I requested it to be cleaned but it was not. There are small cockroaches moving around because the bin is kept inside the room and not cleaned as long as you are there.The bedding was had bood & oil stains. Cutlery set is shot and other basic bowls, to name a few there was no frying pan, chopping board, strainer, only one knife. There was a pack of opened condoms in the kitchen cupboard. The curtains are teared & not hanged neatly, there's a broken and dirty coach. The TV was fixed on the following day because there was only a security guard on the reception who does other duties and they don't have someone else available to assist when you need help. The name of the apartment & the address is not exactly the same as the one you get online.

    I like nothing about this property, The owner is full on nonsense, lying on booking.com about facilities, DSTV is not working, Aircon is not working and owner don't give any response on it because she has already collected her payment. I recommend DONT CHOOSE FOR THIS PROPERTY FOR YOUR VACATIONS, I RECOMMEND BOOKING.COM SHOULD REMOVE THIS PROPERTY FROM THEIR LISTING.

    Place was in a shocking state when we arrived on the 7th. Air conditioner was not working. Cutlery was dirty and greasy. Sliding doors were broken, drawers were broken. No towels or bedding supplied apart from thin blanket. Power to the second bedroom was via an extension lead. Main room lights were switched on/off from the second bedroom.  Totally unnaceptable accommodation for the price and photos are misleading as well as the description

    The only plus was location.
