The condo itself is very good. Location is walking distance to Ayala. It is the hidden costs, bad service that make this a fail and would never stay there again. 1. the cable TV wasn't working for more than a week. When I asked for a rebate, the host gave me USD 0.60 per day rebate that the tv was off! Rate of condo is USD 90 per day. For the 7 days that the tv was off I was given USD 4.20 compensation!. I have my condos for rent in Manila, and if my guest suffers the inconvenience of no tv, and if they are staying for 2 weeks, I would give them 1 or 2 days rebate. This means in this instance, it would be at least USD 90 rebate. That is the expected compensation for the inconvenience. Not USD 4.20 for 7 days of no TV.
You pay the front desk USD 100 for deposit (refundable) . You pay USD 80, cleaning fee one time payment upfront on top of what you already paid online
Check out is not hassle free--because you will wait for the reading of the electricity and you will have to pay before check out.
Check in and check out should be hassle free. They should just incorporate average electricity consumption and add that to the rate.
This is a condo. Cleaning fee is very prohibitive. Most condos, have their own cleaning materials, broom, etc for everyday removing of dirt. You don't want to keep calling the cleaners at USD 80 per call. They should provide basic cleaning materials as standard to most condos for rent.
