2/10 Terrible
10 Jul 2025
⚠️ SCAM ALERT — STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY AND MR. W LISTINGS ⚠️
This was one of the most frustrating and disappointing travel experiences we’ve ever had. The listing falsely advertised a 2-bedroom apartment with 2 king beds — but when we arrived, we were shocked to find it was only a 1-bedroom unit. No explanation. No upgrade. No apology. Just false advertising.
The problems didn’t stop there. The in-room safe was broken and completely unusable, which made it impossible to securely store our belongings. There was no TV, even though the listing clearly claimed there would be one. It felt like the most basic expectations were deliberately ignored.
We tried calling the owner multiple times — no one ever responded. Total radio silence. When we contacted Expedia, the representative acknowledged that yes, this situation looked like a scam and agreed we paid for something we didn’t receive. But after days of back-and-forth, they ultimately did nothing to help us.
We are incredibly disappointed in both the property owner and Expedia. They allowed this fraudulent listing to stay live, and even after confirming the issue, failed to do anything meaningful to correct it. We are now being forced to file a chargeback with our bank.
Please — do not book this property and avoid any listings by MR. W. This was a deeply distressing, misleading experience that ruined part of our trip. We’re sharing this in hopes of sparing others the same headache, stress, and financial loss.
