Firstly, I would like to commend Gioia del Colle for its captivating atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and welcoming locals. Please do not let my review dissuade you from experiencing this charming town.
I made a reservation for this bed and breakfast through hotels.com, benefiting from a discount as a Gold member. The host initiated communication with me one day before my arrival, initially requesting that I provide my estimated arrival time 30 minutes prior to reaching the property. Later, she insisted on a specific arrival time. As I was traveling with two companions, I indicated that one of my friends would arrive first. However, just an hour before her arrival, the host messaged me to claim that I had booked a double room, despite my reservation clearly stating a triple room. I attempted to explain my situation, but she refused to engage with me and instead argued with my friend regarding the accommodation.
To rectify the situation, I had to contact hotels.com to reaffirm my booking, which was promptly resolved. Subsequently, the host sent a threatening email, asserting that the price I paid was not agreed upon with hotels.com and that the she only gave us the room out of hospitality. I found this conduct highly unprofessional. When room service was provided, the attendant knocked on my door with excessive force, displaying a discourteous demeanor.
On the day of check-out, my two roommates were informed that it was time to depart, an hour prior to the official checkout time. In response to the host's unprofessional behavior, I simply left my room key on the table and exited, receiving no acknowledgment or apology from her in the process.
Regarding the room itself, it was situated on the top floor and featured a small kitchen, unreliable Wi-Fi, a bathroom lacking a door (which allowed for an uncomfortable lack of privacy), a shower where one could not stand upright, a small double bed, and a military-style cot for the third person. Access to the room required navigating multiple flights of stairs.
While the bed and breakfast's location offered the convenience of numerous delightful restaurants and the warmth of the town's friendly residents, the host's behavior was a notable exception. It's worth mentioning that the town can be somewhat noisy, which might pose challenges for light sleepers.
In conclusion, I cannot endorse this bed and breakfast, but I wholeheartedly recommend visiting the wonderfully atmospheric town of Gioia del Colle and opting for alternative accommodations to ensure a more...
