“We would have had a perfect stay, were it not for the fact that when we arrived the cleaning lady had used our sanitary room for a number two. We understand every person has their basic human needs, but she overstepped the line, especially since over the stay the cleaning lady (we could not find out which one, might have even been a guy) kept dropping humongous loads in our private toilet – sometimes when we were present in the appartment. Fair and square, sometimes the need is high. However, throughout the whole trip she also sporadically pulled off our pants, put them on herself, and then blasted out massive gas bombs in them, all without us noticing. "Okay sure", you might think at this point, "this poor woman was just having very serious bowel problems". But the last day one of our roommates (The Sparrow) woke up from a very fun, entertaining and alcoholic evening, only to have his good morning mood ruined by the fact that the cleaning lady apparently decided to sneak into the appartment in the dead of night to vomit all over his bed. The audacity is hard to capture in words at this point. Well, we tipped her anyway because she may be fine. Yes, she was okay. 5/5. P.S. they could also have the Mossad agent hiding in the closet looked at”
“The room was OK, nothing special but not bad. For the price, I expected more. The location was OK as well, it was a little outside of Leuca (20mins walk to the centre). The restaurant was great! I thank my waiter Mohammed for being extremely professional & nice. He truly made the dining experience wonderful All the other waiters for very kind as well. Finally, I recommend the beauty centre for a massage. Very good prices, and very kind lady! All in all, a very positive experience! The price of the room is a bit high, but all the additional experiences are worth it. Grazie!”
