We stayed for 2 nights at Riki's B&B, a nice woman by all accounts and at the same time, we left disappointed by the experience, disgusted and cheated. The B&Bs sit a meter from a huge chicken coop, I don't know if you've ever passed by a chicken coop, but it's one of the smelliest, loudest and dirtiest things out there. At the entrance to the room there were dozens of flies and Riki said that today they came because it was hot...which turned out to be untrue, the flies are there because of the chicken coop, which makes it impossible to enjoy sitting outside, and forces you every time you enter and exit the room to quickly escape the flies and close the door quickly so they don't enter the room.. We planned on staying in the lovely pool, but this was not possible, a terrible noise from the coop, which is located next door, you sit in the pool and look at hundreds of chickens, and the stench suffocates you.. As mentioned, unfortunately we could not enjoy the pool. The room itself is very outdated: -cobwebs on the air conditioner above the bed. - The shower door creaks and locks only with a slam - There is no dresser on one side of the bed - There is only one blanket and no pillow - There is no coffee machine (these days it is basic in B&Bs) - A very small TV and far from the bed due to its size - There was no internet... ( Ricky said that there is just a problem with the network connection and they are working on it.. but the whole weekend there was no network.. we couldn't watch Netflix for example because of that..) It is obvious that they are not investing in the B&B anymore, they are not renewing it, which was built 20 years ago and was new so this is what you will get today ..and today it is already very old. The B&B and the location have tremendous potential since the complex is quiet, private and the view is stunning... but there is no value for the high price... we complained to Ricky, who showed understanding and came to meet us with the price... but I would have preferred to know all this before I decided to put my money and my precious vacation time with her .. The owners of the B&B should be more transparent on the website and not give false testimony in the description of the place or alternatively ask for a very low price to match the value offered... Of course you can also decide to invest in the B&B, and take care of all the failings mentioned, in order to respect the guests who pay for it. We will not return.
