    Decent apartment for a single person, not suitable for couples, very bad and painful beds

    The bed was very uneven, uncomfortable and painful. Won't recommend a couple to sleep on the black expandable bed. The left portion is highly uneven and feels hard at the top and soft in the middle which makes sleeping a painful experience. It's okay for a single person, it's less uneven and doesn't hurt a lot. The shower and the bathroom are tiny and the floor was dirty. There's no foot rug or floor mat to wipe your feet after shower which makes the shower/toilet slippery and dangerous.

    The bedroom had nice ambience and the white bed on the right was okay.

    Everything was fine except for the fact that I thought it's literally 5 minutes from old town but it is actually not. Plus, this flat is good for 2 people to stay. I don't think it'd be nice for 3 or 4

    I will start by saying that the house itself is of course in a terrible condition, there is an old unpleasant smell everywhere. There were holes in the walls, which of course were not shown in the booking pictures, the sofa was old, when I started to cover it, I was shocked by what I saw! It was all doused with some kind of liquid, broken and there is no question of comfort there. The toilet is very small, you can barely turn around there. I don't understand how an apartment can be rented out in such a condition, the owner could have at least bought a new sofa. 🤯

    this was very big disappointment, Shower has mold, the whole second floor looks like corridor just random pieces of junk & smells like pee. No security anyone can just walk in to the building. also pictures dont match the reality of the apartment.I was so dissapointed so I ended booking another hotel thus not staying in the aprtment. :(

    The bed and sofa was broken. Shower coverd with mold. Apartment is in very old building,no windows, old and broken staircase covered in heavy spider web, below any standard, located in industrial ghetto area.

    The flat was just ok from inside, but much more narrow room and more tiny kitchen/entrance and in the bathroom is impossible to turn around as it is so narrow, which is not showed in the pictures.

    The building itself is a bit run down and the surrounding area is not very interesting.

    The flat is cosy and nicely decorated. Easy free parking just outside the building. Within a walking distance from a large shopping centre.

    It was a terrible but informative experience. Ants are crawling from the bathroom all over the flat

    The apartment is located in a scary old house with abandoned apartments and broken windows. A dump of old items is located in the corridor. The bathroom is so tiny that there is literally nowhere to turn around, and the shower is mouldy and broken. Ants are crawling from the bathroom all over the apartment. The sofa is pressed through, presses in the back and is difficult to unfold. It looks like it's broken

    There was a lot of stuff like everything necessary for the kitchen and others.

    THE MOST DISHONEST PROPERTY AD ON BOOKING. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Apartment
    • Stayed 5 nights

    This is my worst experience with the property booked through Booking.com. The apartment is located in a house in critical condition and there are no pictures of it on Booking. I tried to discuss the partial refund with the landlord as I booked 5 nights but he said that everything was okay and he was not responsible for the condition of the house. Well, the apartment is not designed for a 4-people stay as advertised and severely lacks the quality of essentials (bed, sofa, bathroom size) as well as the hygiene. The bathroom is dirty, the couch and bed are old and absolutely uncomfortable to sleep on. When both couch and bed are extended, there is no space to move in the room. The tiniest bathroom ever! I stayed there with my mom, dad, and sister and we decided to move out of the apartment after 2 nights (2 of which I wasn't sleeping in as I went to sleep at my friend's apartment so my family would have more space), booked a different apartment so that it wouldn't ruin our experience. I attached the pictures so that you understand that there is no underestimation in my review. If you don't want to ruin your experience in Riga as well, don't book this apartment.

    First of all, this was my second time I stayed there and I was okay with the first time, but not this one. First thing - house is really old and smells really bad inside. It’s old and just disgusting. You see how house looks only after you book. They are very smart with marketing. Second of all - room is very small. It’s hard for two people to stay there. Impossible for 4 people. Third of all - they had only one towel. They even called me after and called me a thief, saying that I’ve stolen towels. Woman who is working with these apartments are just ridiculous. And to make it even “better” - they have earliest check in from all apartments I’ve stayed in last 2 years. Very dsappointed!!!

    It was modern inside. They had a air conditioner which was cool, because it was hot inside. Helped a bit at least.
