B&B 36 Passi dal mare 2.0

The host was really friendly and sweet, and the location was great. Breakfast was simple, though it leaned too heavily on sweets. It was extremely windy while we were there, around 58 km/h, so we couldn’t enjoy the beach. We went to Erice instead, and it was amazing even with all that wind.

We had a pleasant stay and walked to all the sights. We left the car in the lot across the street, where parking cost 0,10€ an hour. The room was nice, but it didn’t have its own bathroom or shower, which hadn’t been clear to us when we booked. To get to the bathroom, we had to leave the room and cross the shared area. Since we get up early, it wasn’t much trouble, but be aware that some rooms don’t have a bathroom.

We ended up paying 30 euros because they said they wouldn’t let us leave otherwise and would call the police. It was a really bad experience. We booked what the listing called a “Deluxe room with Queen bed and Private bathroom,” but when we arrived, the bathroom was in the corridor by the kitchen, outside the room. The booking page never mentioned an external bathroom, though several places on the site said “private bathroom.” The confirmation email did mention it in small, easy-to-miss writing, but who checks that after the reservation page clearly promises a private bathroom? To me, this was a booking scam. The description isn’t accurate, and that kind of arrangement isn’t acceptable these days, especially at the prices they ask.

No comment.
