Hazardous parking situation
The parking situation at the property is hazardous. The parking area is awkward and tight, so much so that on November 1st 2016, our first evening at the property, while we were in the cottage, one of the property owners backed into our rental car damaging the front bumper. He provided us with his insurance information so we left the property with the understanding his insurance would cover our financial damages. When after repeated attempts to follow up with both the insurance company and the owner, without compensation, we initiated a complaint with HomeAway. For a few weeks they seemed to be actively perusing a resolution after making excuses that the holidays were hindering their efforts. We again requested information from them mid January and have not received a response. We understand accidents happen and with the expectation our losses would be reimbursed we didn’t mention the event in our first review of the property. However, it is unconscionable for an owner to carelessly and negligently damage a guest’s property and fail to make restitution. We feel an obligation to disclose this to potential guests.

Nicht wie erwartet
Die Beschreibung der Wohnung versprach diverse Gegenstände und Annehmlichkeiten, die vor Ort nicht vorhanden waren. So haben wir uns bei einem fast vierwöchigen Urlaub auch wegen der Waschmaschine, die als vorhanden angegeben wurde, für das Cottage entschieden. Die war aber nicht vorhanden, so dass wir uns einen Waschsalon suchen mussten. Auch eine Klimaanlage, beim afrikanischen Sommer auch Grundlage, war nicht wie angegeben vorhanden. Andere Dinge wie Garage, Geschirrspüler usw. sind auch nicht da. Die derzeitige Beschreibung ist also mit Vorsicht zu genießen. Auch die 105 Quadratmeter sind lächerlich - wir gehen von allerhöchstens der Hälfte aus. Insgesamt war die Wohnung zwar bewohnbar, aber es zeigten sich doch in allen Ecken deutliche Abnutzungsspuren. An Fliesen, Badamaturen, Decken und Wänden zeigtesich deutlicher Renovierungsbedarf. Das Bad war bei unserer Ankunft offensichtlich nicht geputzt, Waschbecken und Badewanne waren schmutzig. Zwar gab es dreimal die Woche "Roomservice", dabei wurde das Bad aber nicht ein einzigstes Mal gereinigt. Der Wohnraum mit Kochnische war nicht sonderlich gemütlich. Das Sofa war alt und unbequem, es gab keinen richtigen Tisch, an dem man gemütlich sitzen oder essen konnte. Das Schlafzimmer war in Ordnung und bot ausreichend Stauraum und ein bequemes Bett. Lediglich die Sauberkeit ließ auch hier zu wünschen übrig. Insgesamt nicht schlimm, aber wir würden das Cottage auch kein zweites Mal mehr buchen. Die Vermieterin hatte unsere Restzahlung von Fewo-direkt noch nicht erhalten und beschäftigte uns mehrmals damit, obwohl wir die Bezahlung belegt hatten - aus unserer Sicht nicht gerade gastfreundlich.
