    HORRIBLE experience and overpriced

    The location was hard to find and tucked away. The "staff" (a single individual) was rude and made inappropriate comments. The facilities felt like a converted garage and looked NOTHING like the picture posted. Our room was hot and did not come with a fan or even a window to open. The restroom was detached from our room and shared between all the guests. We were also told to not throw toilet paper into the toilet. We were not told about the restroom situation prior to checking into the room. When we went out for lunch and returned, we were locked out of the "building" and forced to wait for someone to come and unlock the house. There is parking listed, however it really is just someone's driveway with no more than 3 spots (one of which is used by the owner). Around 11pm on the first night, we could hear the garage door opening from our bed. They advertised a usable kitchen, but did not have any pots or pans and no silverware to use. The only plates were small paper ones. There is a shared fridge which wasn't cleaned. I would recommend removing this listing to save someone else from a terrible experience.

    Not much of anything

    I felt like at home and the owners or President were so friendly and welcoming. He called him before arrival and a guided us how to pay ahead because we noticed they only make it fully booked for the people to pay ahead for Friday and Saturday as a limit number of the rooms they have.

    More I say I can not even express how pretty is inside It appeared as Minsk big mansion to us at 1st but inside on Very important Floor for guests suites are superb Highly recommended it They noticed that our card on the floor was not visible to them so they could not charge us. Be sure that every time after sending the request even if you receive confirmation text or email you call them to prepare for your payments completely It is actually by prepayment for Some days of week as of Thursday, Friday, Saturday we are the regular Silvino and me know their regulation

    The photos on the website are different than the bedroom we stayed in. The host did say over the phone that the room would have no window, which was fine by us, but there’s a bit of misrepresentation. However, the facilities were clean and it was alright for the evening. This was not the main issue with our stay, however. I booked on booking.com, and paid the host in cash - everything was fine until then. However, when checking us in, the host was making small talk. She then asked where we are from. I said Canada, and my partner indicated that he’s Indigenous. The host then proceeded to make a sound with her hand over her mouth (the one seen used by Native Americans in the movies), which was inappropriate. She then said, about my partner, something along the lines of - ugly on the Outside, good heart. I thought she was joking, I was unsure what to say, and she then said he’s handsome. This was incredibly inappropriate, as well as strange exchange. But the property itself was alright, I just think in this day and age, anyone in the hospitality industry should be much more professional.

    The location of the property was good.

    My little Ketto, age 4 and 12, and my friend and wife, and he wanted to spend a good time in city do you want it to be sure I told Mutale what it cost for us was about $1200 per day so we decided to book the cheaper one and take it to the Salus Hotel. The price was very good about 800 and the book too sweet wants to eat for my friend about 300 and for my family 500 so in that case we had our own privacy suites was clean but a nice location. The host was very nice

    The best stays luxury inside Appropriate location Very family based area Outside seems it is a mansion but actually it is two property attached and you must book VIP suites to have access to luxury type of stay Economic room are other property on the same land So I suggest you ask for VIP suite to enjoy the Royal type of class and elegancy Nail and me really enjoy it. Thanks for everything.

    I barely have time to write three games or hotels. This minute Hotel was exceptional. Actually it is a big mansion and belong to Ru Liu royal family and other royals so it is a palace as we noticed people loved being here and we had a condo curiosity to see how little your family type of living is so they booked a VIP floor on the third level private suite the price was reasonable to 250 per day for two people. We enjoyed all aspects
