Busan Grey Sands Poolvilla Pension

The view and location were nice, but at this price I found the stay pretty disappointing. The towels smelled a bit unpleasant, and after checkout I got a sudden call where I was harshly scolded for leaving a mess, then they hung up. I still don't understand what the issue was. I hadn't cleaned everything perfectly, but I washed the dishes and put all the trash in the recycling bins. Maybe it was because I didn't gather the towels in one place, or the bedding? They said it would all be washed again anyway, so I'd folded and put it away. I attached the balloons with clear tape in spots that wouldn't leave marks when removed, and only kept the reusable ones, like the big heart balloons. Was that the problem? For 489,000 won, if I was expected to clean everything perfectly, I could have just stayed at a hotel. The photos showed a pool, but by the time I arrived the pool area had been changed into a flat, bench-like floor. This could have been a good memory, but the way it ended was a real mess.

I booked this for my first trip with friends, but ended up canceling and losing 200,000 won. The room looked nothing like the photos, which showed it brand-new. In person it seemed over 10 years old, and the owner said they planned to repair it. Mold and dust covered the room, and I attached photos because I can't really explain it in words. The hygiene was unreasonable too. We were told to use tissues splattered with ramen broth, and extra bedding and towels had been put in the shoe rack. My baby started sneezing and kept at it for two hours within half an hour of entering the room. My friend, who has a dust allergy, broke out in hives up to their throat and had to take emergency medicine. I'm writing this review at the cost of the 200,000 won I didn't get back. I heard no one had complained about the room condition before, so I'll let it go and assume we were being overly sensitive.

There are lots of convenience stores and places to eat close by. The bathroom had plenty of towels, and the kitchenware was especially clean. I was comfortable during my stay.

I wouldn’t choose this place again. Having a separate barbecue area was nice, but the pool was narrow and shallow, and its spot in the living room made me worry about humidity. Walking through the living room with water dripping off my face wasn’t pleasant.
