Bed was dirty, I got bites in my whole body. I couldn't sleep at the second night because my skin around the bites was very itchy. I went to pharmacy to show them bites, they said it's bed bugs bites so I bought some cream and medication to stop itchy.

Extremely small bathrooms with flooding showers

The bathroom was awful - tiny shower with a shower curtain that sticks to you since it's so small/no room to move. Water goes everywhere.

The shower was so tiny I'm surprised my partner fit in it, the whole floor would get flooded everytime you showered

The bathroom is extremely small. It's almost impossible to use comfortably. Taking a shower without splashing water everywhere is impossible. Very disappointing.

6 months ago·Brazil·Score: 4/10

Bathroom was very small, bathing area was covered with curtains which probably might not be waterproof to hold water inside the bath area and hence the whole bathroom was getting wet and slippery.

5 months ago·Switzerland·Score: 10/10

The bathroom is too small and the bath curtain can not cover, so the floor is very wet after taking a bath.

The shower I would say needs a little upgrade as it keeps flooding the bathroom, again, nothing i would be upset about. there was enough towels to keep the floor dry.

The shower is way too small even for a petite adult. It's so small that the shower curtain sticks to you and the entire bathroom is wet after a shower.

1 year ago·Ireland·Score: 7/10

The shower area was so small that we could barely fit. Very small bedroom. We will not stay again.

Thin walls with noise from neighboring rooms

Very thin walls- we heard another traveller's alarm go off at 5am- and snoozed twice (!)- Waking us up.

The walls were very thin and you could hear everyone and every noise in all the other rooms nearby and upstairs.

1 year ago·United Kingdom·Score: 3/10

Very noisy, you hear constantly water flowing through the pipes of the building. And you hear everything what people on the hall or in the room next to you do. Little sleep because of this.

1 year ago·Netherlands·Score: 4/10

you can hear every your neighbours who came late or checkout early in the morning, including heels and noise from suitcases

Every time another room used their water, I could hear it running through the pipes in the walls quite loudly.

The structure is very poorly soundproofed. A lot of noise in the corridors..

Misleading photos and room descriptions

Photos of the room felt very misleading. We booked a double room and it was not modern looking like the photos - it was very outdated

Photos of the room felt very misleading. We booked a double room and it was not modern looking like the photos - it was very outdated and did not have the lovely furnishings depicted.

1 year ago·New Zealand·Score: 6/10

The room doesn't appear at all in the photos that Booking presents so much so that we remained disappointed to the maximum when we arrived.

1 year ago·Italy·Score: 6/10

I feel like the room we got was nothing like the pictures. Not even the bathroom we got. This pictures are deff photoshopped or we got the only one that isn't shown.

1 year ago·Germany·Score: 3/10

Looking at the pictures before booking we were under impression that the room had a balcony with a view. That was not the case. Room was cold and dark and the 'balcony' didn't have sunlight and we had the 'view' of the wall in front of us.

2 years ago·Montenegro·Score: 6/10

The rooms are completely different from the photos on booking, we received an 'upgrade' and from a double room they gave us a triple room (not necessary, we were only two). The room was very old, the bathroom even worse.

Garden view was really a view over a vacant block next door (over sold in the bio)
