Booked last March, 3 days before our stay I noticed that they had sent my money back, no email or anything. I had to chase them up with several messages, finally they sent me a message saying that it was cancelled due to renovation. Leaving us 2 days to find other accommodation. Unbelievable lack of communication. Would not recommend
