Let me give you the reason why I ranked it so bad. When I arrived there she said the room that I was supposed to stay at was flooded or something like that. (Meaning it was not usuable). So I had the other room which did not have a view nor a TV. Then after several days it turned out the room that was not available became available and she was still renting it. Meanwhile she was closing the heating at night and opening it on day, which makes completely no sense... Now the kitchen, which was very messy and dirty and I am not exaggerating, she used to let the dishes for days before cleaning them, there was some stain on the chairs, nap. There were wires, homewares everywhere, so disgusting that I was doing my best to avoid the kitchen. I even step on crumbs. She was okay with washing my clothes the first week and then turned out she could not because the bills are "too" expensive. I was paying 180/week, which at that time was more than the average. So now you can imagine how it was staying there, if you wonder why I stayed there it was because I had no choice. In the third week, on Saturday she said that I had to leave, and guess how many days did she let me to. Not even a day, I had to leave on Sunday. Yes I had to find a place in less than a day...

This man was the first time he had left home so was very demanding. He wanted to stay for 3 months and not go through homestay. Then he demanded a lock on his door.The room he wanted did have a flood. I would never host this man ever again

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
