Reviews
The most incredible thing was that we checked in after 8:30 pm. The room was in a mass, the bed was with massy soiled linen, all dirty towels were on the floor of the bath room. We called the property number listed at booking
Com and the number that is listed outside the room if needed help. No one answer!
We called booking.com to seek help, the property did not answer their phone too! Booking.Com team supervisor, Joven asked us to wait for another 9 hours for them to clean the room or can refund to us. it was after 10 pm then! We were so tired, frustrated and felt helpless. I have been using booking.com for more than 10 years , end up without any help and support from them when needed. Disappointed!!
We had 4 bookings with Ocean Breeze Apartment, and had trouble in check in for the first 2 bookings. No tissue paper and bath towels for the first stay. Room was not made, bed was in a mess, soiled bath towels on the floor of the bath room.
After we complained to the booking.com, the property canceled our last booking in the last minute. Luckily, we found a very nice Acomodation with very nice service. That is a Bakki Apartment & Hostel. The unit is clean and tidy, the size of the room is much bigger with supply most of the kitchen facilities. Keep away from Ocean Breeze Apartment, it will spoil your holiday! Pictures were taken when we checked in Ocean Breeze Apartmment after 8:30 pm!
First, this place is not "on the beach" but about 400m away and you cannot see the sea. The first room provided had not been cleaned. Provided with a second room which was clean and bigger but hellishly hot and the window was nailed shut so we had to leave the room door open to try and remove the heat. Eventually found that the bathroom had underfloor heating but could find no way to switch it off. Asked how to do so but received no reply; seems the owners just turned it off because the room did cool down over three days. Owners not good at communicating at all. A toaster would have been useful.
