It is described as an entire home that is only shared with guests of your party. That is not what is provided. It is a bedroom with an attached bathroom. That is part of an occupied house. The fridge in the room is filthy and quite noisy making it difficult to sleep. The shower screen is filthy. Hair on the basin in the bathroom. There is a tv in the room. Not a smart TV however, nor any antenna or channel services connected to it. So it essentially a wall adornment. The towels provided are quite old and of terrible quality, frayed at ends. The “home” also has quite an odour about it. Presumably from the cooking of the hosts or residence of the home. Not a smell that should be bestowed on guests. Might be fine for some, but I find it quite repulsive. It is also very prominent in the bedding. A very unpleasant experience. There should be minimum standards to be able to provide accommodation. And this would be below acceptable ##### Clint Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Inns Astoria Blvd. Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Astoria-Blvd-Station-Inns.d6184739-aaInns.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Luxury Hotels in Lions Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Lions-Bay-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d56166-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Heaven's Rest B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Heavens-Rest-BB.h27241505.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Perth](https://www.expedia.ca/Perth-Hotels.d58882.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Historic Hotels in Copenhagen North](https://www.expedia.ca/Copenhagen-North-Hotels-Historic-Hotel.0-0-d6211692-tHistoricHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Isles of Capri](https://www.expedia.ca/Isles-Of-Capri-Naples-Hotels.0-n553248635976481677-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Guadalupe](https://www.expedia.ca/Guadalupe-Hotels.d6204275.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Juneau Borough](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Juneau-Borough.d553248635998044659.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Surfer's Sunshine Cottage - Piha Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Surfers-Sunshine-Cottage-Piha-Holiday-Home.h37969900.Hotel-Information) > > [Gloucester Terrace by Lime Street](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Gloucester-Terrace-By-Lime-Street.h37164790.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Southern Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Ontario-Cabins.d6210011-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Waiuku Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Waiuku-Lodge-Motel.h9625267.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Los Sueños Fortuna de Bagats](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Cabinas-Los-Suenos-Fortuna-De-Bagaces.h38435588.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Davao](https://www.expedia.ca/Davao-Bed-And-Breakfast.d1077-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Pansion Martin](https://www.expedia.ca/Podstrana-Hotels-Pansion-Martin.h16303350.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Saint-Vallier](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Vallier-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d3000471714-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Amiral Palace Hotel Boutique Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Amiral-Palace-Hotel-Spa.h1847383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Manitoba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Manitoba-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d11148-tHotelswithWaterslides.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Ottawa City Hall](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-City-Hall-Hotels.0-l6229008-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Lagos (LOS) to Kigali (KGL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/los/kgl/lagos-to-kigali) ### Activities ### Packages > [Grand Manan Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Manan-Island.d181817.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Molo Beverello Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Molo-Beverello-Port-Naples-City-Centre.d6175089.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Scarborough Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Scarborough-Village.dx10208) > > [Visit Tahoe City](https://www.expedia.ca/Tahoe-City.dx180041)
