But lack of ventilation and springy, sagging beds was uncomfortable. Loved the house, though.

6.4 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
I was told I had a space to work and then told it was a white privilege by n Afrikaner man. I'm an islander. My father is Mauritian, mom is Greek. It was so uncomfortable and I was told to spend more money to book a private room after checking everything ahead of time. He walked into our dorm with women half naked. When serving at the bar he underpoured when I paid full price as well as gossiped to other guests about his opinion on me and caused extreme conflict and discomfort. When I approached him to complain he shouted at me and stormed off saying I must just contact and get my refund. He created a severe emotional break in the week I've been here.
