€ 4.800,00 betaald.
We have just arrived at [naam accomodatie] [verblijfplaats] and have to inform you that the road to the villa is dangerous and almost inaccessible with normal non-4WD vehicles. It is completely misleading to tell me the villa is approx 30-45 mins fron [verblijfplaats] town when it is in fact 1.5 hours from [verblijfplaats] town, with the access road not being just dirt for the last few kilometres but is is rocky and dangerous with our vehicles scraping on the rocks. We will not be able to come and go as was the original plan and will now have to seek alternative accomodations for the remainder of our stay. Even the closest tavern is 3km away of the rockey road. If we needed anything delivered or there is a medical emergency, no one would be able to come to the villa in a reasonable timeframe. The villa is not close to any facilities or services and cannot be easily accessed other than by travelling back over the dangerous road and driving a minimum of 30 minutes to the nearest villa. This needs to be absolutely clear in the description of the villa. This is a total lie and we need a full refund because we have been tricked and we are so scared just driving here. If you keep advertsing this you are as irrersponsible as them.”
There is a small part of the dirt road to the villa that is mentioned on our website; however, this road has been used by all our guest during all the years that we have operated with no issue at all. It is very easy to drive. The only thing is that it is not covered with asphalt. So, we won’t offer any refunds to the guests.”
