Guest Reviews
RSSThis is my second time here. friendly reception will come again here in the future.....
Me and my 13 friends hired a 6-person bungalow and an 8-person chalet between 24.06 – 27.06.2011. We paid a full price for both accommodations, which we left tidy. We hardly spent any time at the camping as most of the time we were out. According to the rules of the camping the check out should happen before 11 am. 10 of my friends were leaving on Monday 27th at 8.30 am and me with my boyfriend and 1 friend were planning to leave before 11 am.
When we went to the reception at 8.30 I kindly asked the man at the reception to swap the documents for the bungalow. I explained him that 4 people from bungalow are leaving now (one of them had her driving licence in the reception) and 2 are leaving later. Therefore I offered to leave my passport for another 2 hours so my friend who was leaving at that time could take her driving licence. Meantime other friends from the chalet were gathering outside and the person who left the document for the chalet was still inside the chalet and was planning to leave with us before 11. When I asked if I could swap the documents for the bungalow the owner suddenly changed his polite behaviour and started shouting at me and counting the people gathering outside. I explained him that 4 of them are from the bungalow and 7 are from the chalet and they are leaving now. He even didn’t want to listen to me and started shouting racist comments into my face such as: “you stupid Polish”, “you Polish idiot”. I kindly asked him to calm down and explained that 11 people outside are not from the 6-person bungalow but he wouldn’t listen. He kept screaming at us and gesticulating with hands, I was so afraid that he would hit me! He screamed: “I am calling the police”. My question was why if it was the owner who was brutal and harassing us, we were calm and did nothing wrong. I told him: “I want you to call the police” as I knew that we did nothing wrong and the police would help us, but he didn’t call. He kept screaming: “get out of my camping now!!”. I was still wearing my pyjamas, I didn’t have any breakfast and a shower as I planed to leave in 2 hours time.
Please bear in mind that we didn’t visit a private house where the owner could kick us out. We visited a public camping and paid for the accommodation for 14 people in a bungalow and in a chalet so we were guests. The staff should look after us, as this is their job! Instead of that 2 hours before the check out when we only kindly asked to swap the documents the owner harassed us with racist comments, kicked us out of the camping and for the money we paid I wasn’t even allowed to have a shower and breakfast before leaving. I was given 30 seconds to pack up my clothes. What is more the owner wouldn’t stop shouting like he was in a madness, he was screaming to us: “shout up” every time I wanted to ask him why or what has happened that he treated us like that.The man was extremely rude, almost brutal. He crossed a line then. He didn’t care about our rights as quests and people. Not only he broke the human rules, but also EU rules as well as camping rules!
If we did something wrong I still wouldn’t accept his disgusting behaviour and abuse but we paid for the accommodation for the bungalow and for the chalet, we left them tidy, we were quiet and there was no a single complaint about us. Nevertheless the owner treated us like dogs, gave me literally 30 seconds to pack up my clothes, no chance to have a shower or eat some food before leaving. Never in my life I experienced something like this! Such a racist tyrant should never work in hospitability industry, especially hosting people from different courtiers. After this experience I was left in trauma and tears with no explanation or reason.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Nice camp site, WAAAAY too far out of town for my liking; Stayed for 9 days, each day spending 50 mins travelling into town and again to get back. Would be perfect for a night of two stay, not for the longhaul.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
very nice, cheap and clean place. little bit far from the city centre (about 45 min) but good transport. had a very nice time. recommend to everyone but need to take warm blankets or buy heating
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We were desapointed ....
Not for the fact that there is a bus just in front of the Camping. Not for the facilities ... But for the room : The fact that the heating was paying was not said in internet, the paper announcing it was hiden behind the window. So we were frizing all the night. There was no linen and we didn't know it ...
The supermarket was awfully ampty, no orange juice, no bread, no milk... Only nutella, jam, .. Ok but what if there's no bread ? So nothing for the breakfast. But there was pasta, rice, salsas and other things like that. The price was a little too high for a Twin Room, without heating, without having the right to eat in, no linen ... and some insects on the floor . And prevent us that the shower is not free.... That was a bad surprise.But, we were very happy to see the kitchen, THE good point of the place, very great service, some plates, bowls and things to cook are disponible and that was good to see that we could drink our coffee on the morning because we went only for 2 days and didn't want to bring a lot of things.
It was good to have a bed ... But it will be VERY better having these informations before leaving, we would choose another place, a real hotel.
And, te location is so beautiful, in the hoods all these little houses in the hoods, it was great to see it with the sun rising on .
