We owe our guests an apology. 😂
For years, people have left reviews saying things like:
“Spotlessly clean.”
“Absolutely immaculate.”
“So clean.”
And every time we've thought… well yes? Of course it’s clean. You’re paying to stay there. Surely that’s just the absolute minimum?
Apparently not. 😂
We’ve stayed in a few holiday lets recently and we finally understand why people comment on it.
Because “clean” and actually clean are apparently two very different things.
At first glance, everything looks fine.
Then you notice the grubby cupboard doors.
The dirty drawers.
The fridge with bits of someone else’s dinner still in it.
The bathroom that definitely hasn’t met a toothbrush around the plug hole for a while.
The floors that look clean until your socks tell you otherwise.
And that general slightly grubby smell of somewhere that really needs a proper deep clean.
We're honestly a bit baffled.
Maybe our standards are too high, but we just cannot imagine opening the door to one of our cabins and thinking, “Yep, that’ll do.”
It doesn’t have to be new.
It doesn’t have to be fancy.
It doesn’t have to be five-star luxury.
But if someone is paying to stay there, it should be properly bloody clean.
So now, when someone leaves us a review saying our cabins are spotless, We will no longer think, “Well obviously.”
We think, “Ahhh… now we get it.” 😂
