“Disappointing”

Our stay at this two-bedroom apartment in La Tejita, Tenerife was unfortunately very disappointing. We stayed for seven nights as a group of four, and the overall standard of the accommodation fell well below expectations. The furniture and appliances were of poor quality, with several items either damaged or falling apart. For example, the shower head detached and hit us on two separate occasions, and other fixtures such as the fridge and taps were clearly not properly maintained. The beds were also extremely uncomfortable—hard and thin, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Cleanliness and upkeep were also concerns with the rooms being very dusty. The communal hallway had an unpleasant smell, and there was a noticeable issue with flies at the entrance to the building. Safety was another major issue, as the patio doors in every room did not lock properly, which was very worrying. Communication with the owner was extremely poor. Messages were ignored when we needed assistance, including when we were unable to access the property. Despite this lack of support, we were then asked to leave 35 minutes before the stated check-out time, which felt unreasonable. Basic provisions were inadequate for a week-long stay for four people—only one bin bag, a very small amount of detergent, and just two rolls of toilet paper were provided. While I would normally say “you get what you pay for,” in this case, the experience was so poor that we would not stay here again under any circumstances. Additionally, the surrounding area of La Tejita is still under development and lacks amenities. We also experienced some unpleasant interactions, with a few taxi drivers and service staff coming across as rude and unwelcoming, which further impacted our stay. Overall, we would not recommend this property or the area at this time.

Very clean spacious apartment Peaceful location Host was very responsive
