We
were
a
group
of
4
who
stayed
at
the
Kappad
Beach
House
for
a
single
night
on
the
9th
of
April
2022
(booked
via
Airbnb).
Our
experiences/review
for
this
place,
is
as
mentioned
below:
1)
Communication:
Unlike
other
property
listings
on
Airbnb
or
other
similar
sites,
where
property
caretakers
or
the
owners
contact
you
before
check-in,
in
this
case,
there
was
absolutely
no
kind
of
interaction
or
responsibility
taken
by
the
caretaker
before
we
checked
in,
with
details
of
the
location
of
this
house,
or
even
to
confirm
the
details
as
to
when
we
would
arrive,
as
we
had
arrived
an
hour
and
a
half
late
from
the
mentioned
check-in
time.
Instead,
we
ended
up
calling
him
and
getting
the
necessary
details.
2)
Cleanliness:
The
dustbin
in
one
of
the
bedrooms
had
garbage
left
in
it,
from
the
previous
customers'
stay.
Also,
even
though
the
property
looked
neat
at
first,
we
found
a
cockroach
in
one
of
the
bathrooms
(implying
unhygienic
or
unclean
conditions)
which
we
had
to
chase
around
the
bathroom
and
kill
ourselves,
as
there
were
no
roach
sprays
or
any
insecticides
in
the
villa.
3)
Hospitality:
On
the
day
we
checked-in,
there
was
a
severe
storm
in
the
area
during
the
evening,
and
the
power
in
the
entire
area
got
disrupted
around
6pm,
and
we
had
a
blackout
for
about
18
hours
(there
was
absolutely
no
electricity,
until
we
checked
out
on
the
10th
at
12pm,
as
a
tree
had
fallen
onto
the
electric
lines
-
information
is
as
confirmed
by
the
electric
board
authority
in
the
region).
Considering
this
was
a
natural
and
unlucky
disaster,
we
know
we
can't
or
shouldn't
complain
much,
as
this
event
was
unexpected.
However,
when
the
inverter
ran
out
of
power
by
12am
in
the
night,
we
had
absolutely
no
backup
in
terms
of
light,
leaving
us
with
no
option
but
to
have
dinner
and
enjoy
with
our
friends
with
the
help
of
torchlights
from
our
cellphones.
There
were
no
candles
or
emergency
lamps
of
any
sort.
What
was
worse,
the
caretaker
never
turned
up
to
enquire
if
we
needed
any
help
in
this
situation.
Again,
we
were
the
ones
knocking
at
his
door
at
12:45am
asking
for
candles,
to
which
he
responded
there
were
none,
and
that,
when
such
natural
events
happen
in
this
"particular
area",
powercut
issues
were
common.
What
we
couldn't
understand
was
that,
when
he
was
aware
of
such
problems
from
his
previous
experiences
and
since
he
is
staying
there
on
a
regular
basis,
he
should
have
been
more
responsible
to
arrange
a
second
backup
for
some
light
source
(considering
he
knew
there
were
really
long
power
cuts
during
problematic
situations),
rather
than
let
the
guests
struggle
in
pitch
darkness.
When
you
have
listed
a
property
as
a
home
stay,
please
do
not
take
the
liberty
to
believe
your
guests
will
adjust
in
such
dark
and
horrible
situations.
As
guests
for
a
single
night,
we
were
not
expecting
to
spend
our
stay
in
darkness
and
sweat,
worth
Rs.13,000
(including
taxes).
Please
be
aware
of
hospitality
first,
before
listing
your
property
on
Airbnb.
There
are
better
places
in
Calicut
with
greater
hospitality
and
service,
including
better
aesthetic
and
peaceful
atmosphere
(there
are
other
beach
houses
adjacent
to
this
property,
so
privacy
is
something
which
you
may
have
to
compromise
a
bit,
if
you
are
looking
for
a
complete
soundproof
and
peaceful
experience),
that
at
the
end
of
the
stay
we
have
wished
to
extend
our
stay
there,
instead
of
checking-out.
This
place,
however,
is
the
worst
and
horrible
experience
we
have
had,
and
unfortunately
we
won't
be
recommending
this
place
to
others.
