Un petit bijou à Olhao, East Algarve

If I had not claimed the full 100€ security deposit for all the damage you caused, you probably would have said it was a fantastic stay! I have several properties and have hosted hundreds of guests and you were the worst experience I've had - the dirtiest, most destructive and reckless. I went in on check-out day to find the house saturated with water in bathroom, kitchen and living room, to my shock and horror. This is a newly built house so I called in the builder. He investigated for 2 days and found you had caused the shower drain to be blocked with a lot of beach sand. We had to scoop out the sand with a spoon. There is an expensive rain shower head along with a hand held shower, and you messed with the rain shower which is fixed and not intended to be moved as there is also the hand-held. The rain shower head was now loose and had to be repaired. The shower stall is meant for taking showers, not vandalism or horseplay!

I had two cleaners going through the house to remove all the pink stains you left on the walls and light switches throughout - we have no idea what these mystery stains are. My marble kitchen countertop will have permanent marks because the large grease stains have soaked into the stone, from the pools of cooking oil you left all over the stove and countertop. What kind of animals leave a property in the condition you did? I have the terrible pictures to prove it. My builder and cleaners were horrified, wanting to know what country you were from; they could not believe any civilized person would do this to somebody's property. There was no water leak when you got this new property. When you blocked the drain, you knew you had caused the water problem so you never communicated to me that there was water on the floors, you just checked out leaving water everywhere, and my rug, mats and towels soaking and ruined.

This is a new house, and the bed is new and very firm. You were there more than a week and I invited you to call me anytime about any issues whatsoever. You only called once to find out how to light the gas stove. If there had been a water leak not caused by you, any reasonable person would have called the owner to say there was a water problem, or to ask if anything could be done about the bed as the mattress is too firm for you. You never did.

All my previous guests can attest to the fact that any legitimate issues are handled to their satisfaction instantly, within hours.

Please stay away from other people’s property.
