"CleanlinessWe were 3 couples. We slept in filthy linen for 2 nights until we complained on the 3rd night and we requested for them to be changed. The rooms were not thoroughly cleaned. The beds are not made but only fast straightened. My brother and Phineas (one on of the considerate employees) cleaned the cobweb found in one of the rooms. On the last day before check-out I requested cleaning utensils and cleaned our room. Who does that on holiday?ComfortThere is no comfort. The rooms we slept in were 5,6 and 7. The bed in room 6 is like a hollow boat. All rooms were ants infested.LocationThe location is good but the entrance of the place is a turn-off. No picture of what is said on the internet.FacilitiesThey talk of the Spa as if they have an in-house Spa whereas they don't. The staff members seemed to do a lot of chores, e.g. we saw others at the cruise.Value for moneyIt is highly priced. My husband and I suspected that the owner is compensating for lost earnings during COVID.Overall experienceWe felt betrayed and humiliated because we had honeymoon and Italian experience. To be honest, that place is filthy from the moment one enters . We wondered what the owner thinks of their customers. This is fraud. the advert is NOT what we found.LA DOLCE VITA NEEDS A LENGTHY THOROUGH SPRING CLEANING."

"I had a romantic birthday surprise for my friend planned and was booked from the Wednesday. Monday they emailed me to make arrangements to move us to another guesthouse because they were expecting a conference group and was worried that it would intervere with our "quiet" stay.I also paid and asked for sparkling wine, rose petals do to the room up romantically, fresh flowers and an aromatherapy basket. everything would be done at the new gueshouse. on arrival at the Kosmos Manor Guesthouse, the sparkling wine was there, beautifully done by them as well as the rose petals. But no aromatherapy basket and no fresh flowers. I contacted them. The aromatherapy basket arrived. To my disgust it only had a fizz ball, bar of soap and a tiny handmade scrub in it. They never sent the flowers even after contacting them about it. I still havent received any communication regarding this as I am being ignored. They will definitely never see me again. I consider this to be very unprofessional!"

"The Guest house is lovely, staff friendly/helpful however we were put in a room without a view which was rather disappointing, furthermore there was a spa bath in our room but you could not fill it up to use the jets as there was a shortage of Hot water we could not even have one 5 min shower. Our first room also had several power shortages. We asked if we could move, they moved us to another room which again did not have hot water but had breathtaking view. The 3'rd room that we stayed in was also lovely but again did not have enough hot water for even one person to fully wash themselves. Food was not to my liking (did not have much choice) also served cold the first night, dessert was horrible. Boat cruise was unorganized and we ended up eating the same food as we had the night before on the boat, which i did not enjoy. I would not recommend this place and certainly did not feel it deserves a Four Star rating. Also the place was not very child friendly."

"I am totally embarressed for taking my husband on a romantic weekend at a 4 star guesthouse to only receive 1 star service. I can not believe that i was ripped off so badly. Not to mention that i had help service drinks and dinner the saturday night because there was no manager, only 2 waiters for 13 tables. Then the cherry on the cake is ..... NO DSTV (WTF)"
