This place shouldnât be listed for the summer time
It was a nightmare staying in this place. Due to the intense summer heat, it was nearly impossible to sleep inside the house. We opened windows to try to get some air circulation, but the house quickly became infested with mosquitoes. Even while using the mosquito nets over the beds, we continued to get bitten throughout the night.After two nights of little to no sleep, we were physically exhausted and unable to enjoy our days. We reached out to both the owner and the housekeeper for assistance, but sadly, no solution was provided. We were told there were fans available, but one was the size of my hand and the other was small and rustyâboth entirely ineffective in such heat.There is an air conditioning unit in the home, yet it was not made available to us, even though we offered to pay extra for its use. Ultimately, we had to sleep elsewhere because the conditions inside the house were unbearable at night.
This property is a villa on two floors in a small complex in Betlem, a village in the north-east of the island. Betlem is very quiet as is fairly stated in the listing and it does have some attractive coves to walk to. The mention of a "sea view" is quite an exaggeration but the sea can be seen from the balcony of the master bedroom with a good deal of craning of the neck. More importantly, the villa was advertised when I booked as having internet but it did not. This was hugely disappointing to the family and I spent a small fortune on mobile internet. The owner apologised but this was perfunctory. The listing has since been corrected. The accommodation is otherwise of a good standard but the kitchen area is in permanent semi-darkness having no artificial lighting beyond a dim bulb attached to a ceiling fan. The DVD player was not working and there is only satellite television with no Spanish channels whatsoever. The lack of refuse collection in the village is a hassle. The swimming pool and tennis court are certainly a bonus but somewhat "tired". I would nevertheless have given a positive review overall except that I paid a refundable deposit against damage which the owner has failed to refund as of 15 June in spite of apologising (again) and promising to do so.
Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche mit allem Komfort in dem Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Haus ist ideal gelegen mit einem grandiosen Blick auf die Berge und den angrenzenden Gemeinschaftspool. Die Ferienhaussiedlung ist ruhig und harmonisch. Den Tennisplatz haben wir gerne genutzt. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder.
Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und man kann alternativ auf der unteren oder oberen Terrasse sitzen.
Der Zugang zum Pool ist direkt ĂŒber den Garten.
Uns hat die eine Woche bei bestem Wetter sehr gut gefallen.
Sehr gern, immer wieder, es war einfach sehr schön!
Alles was eine FW enthalten muss, war da.
Pool u Tennisplatz waren einfach ein schöner Zusatz. Ganz ruhige Anlage.
Zwei KĂŒhlschranke waren genau richtig. Guter Kontakt mit Vermieter.
Ruhige Lage, groĂer Pool, groĂe DoppelhaushĂ€lfte
Ich war mit meinen Teenkids fĂŒr 10 Tage dort. Haus ist sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet...Kleiner privater Garten mit angeschlossen. GroĂer Gemeinschaftspool (hab morgens immer alleine meine Bahne gezogen--toll)...SchlĂŒssel und AusrĂŒstung zum Tennisplatz waren vorhanden. Wir haben uns ausprobiert. Etwas weit ab vom Schuss...(Man braucht immer min. 25 Minuten um irgendwo hinzukommen)...Zum Ausspannen grandios.
Betlem es un pueblo bastante lejos de la capital(aeropuerto)distancia una hora con coche.
Un lugar de naturaleza mixta, muy bonito, perfecto para relajarte, dar paseos por los alrededores, respirar aire puro y olvidarte del ruido del la ciudad.
Puedes visitar diferentes sitios cercanos en coche y realizar tus compras tranquilamente sin presiĂłn de atascos.
Es un lugar tranquilo donde no hay mucha gente. No tiene playa grande, solo hay una playa pequeña andando 15min aprox. La casa tiene piscina grande para adultos y para niños. Tiene cancha para jugar đŸ tenis. En la esquina de la calle hay un pequeño restaurante. Los lugares turisticos mas visitados quedan a 30 o 40 min en coche de Betlem. Precio del alquiler es razonable a la calidad.
Nosotros, lo hemos pasado muy bienđ.
Unos dĂas de vacaciones excelente.
Lo recomendamos 100%
Fijn huis. Volledig ingericht en een goed zwembad.
Sommige onderdelen zijn aan vervanging toe, zoals het sanitair en de koelkast. Het handig zijn als de verhuurder een instructieboekje maakt met o.m info over wifi, tv enz.
Insgesamt OK, leider funktionierte WLAN nicht. Das Abfallmanagement erfordert eine Schulung!
Insgesamt OK, vor allem der nahe , groĂe Pool. Die Polster im Wohnbereich bedĂŒrfen der Pflege mit dem Staubsauger. Der Hauswirtschaftsraum mĂŒsste einmal grundĂŒberholt werden. Die GerĂ€te (GeschirrspĂŒler und Waschmaschine) waren hilfreich!
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in het huis. De locatie was goed. Minder fijn was het hotel aan de achterzijde waardoor het uitzicht en de privacy slechter was dan dat uit de advertentie bleek.
De uitrusting van het huis was zeer compleet. Al met al een aanrader!
Me ha parecido correcto. En general, es como aparece en la descripcion y en las fotos... Pero hay algunas cosas mejorables, por lo menos, segun creemos las personas que estuvimos,que pongo aquĂ por si sirve para mejorar, aunque no lo hago para protestar: olor a humedad(supongo que serĂĄ por estar cerrado mucho tiempo).... no hay baterĂa de cocina para poder cocinar (las ollas y sartenes NO se pueden utilizar) aunque tenga muchos accesorios de cocina... aunque hay dos neveras, una de ellas no se puede utilizar porque se congela todo lo que se mete... el microondas no funcionaba... el agua de las duchas sale con muy poca presiĂłn (supongo que serĂĄ por la red de agua)... los colchones son muy blandos y no hay cortinas o persianas que tapen la luz... no hay ningĂșn canal de la TV española a pesar de estar en Mallorca...y hay "accesorios" que estĂĄn, pero estĂĄn rotos o no sirven (sombrillas de sol)
Espero que tomen estas indicaciones por si les pueden servir de algo, no como algo para criticar por criticar.
Really nice house with all of the facilities. It was clean tidy with a lovely private garden.
The house was excellent value for money. It had everything we needed. The house was perfect for children and was in a great location which was nice and peaceful. The sea was only a few minutesâ walk away. The view of the mountains was stunning. We would highly recommend the house.
We live in Wales. I am an Architect and my wife works in the NHS as a health professional. We have owned the property for over 10 years and have had many wonderful holidays with our family over the years.
The property and the facilities are perfect for a quiet family holiday. All of the facilities are safe for children with a full size swimming pool with paddling area for toddlers. There is also a secure tennis court. There are nearby bars which are quite and serve excellent food. The sea is only a few minutes' walk away.
