Very poor
Reviewed By JacquieSSwanI booked a night away for my family, three adults, two children. Upon entering the unit we were met with a horrible smell. It turned out to be the fridge. Absolutely disgusting. We called housekeeping and they came to clean the fridge, which helped. In the evening when trying to have a bath, we had no hot water. The night manager kindly assisted us by giving us access to the unit next to us. This was lovely, but we booked our unit because it had 2 bathrooms, so it was still inconvenient for all of us having to share the one bathroom. Nobody could sleep during the night as there were at least three bats flying about, with feces and urine falling and dripping on us, and mice scuttling about, squeaking loudly. We ended up leaving at 4 am. I suspect this was a long unused unit (just judging by the smell of the fridge) and it has not been properly inspected before we checked in. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the staff did try and assist us with the fridge and the lack of hot water. It was a horrible experience.

Everything You Need
Reviewed By AdamNoelDobsonThis is a well-run and pleasant stop-over lodge in Douglas. Clean spacious rooms, good parking, and the staff seem to know what to do. There are not many options in Douglas and one can see why this is the best. It has everything you need for an overnight stay on your way to somewhere else. Close to the amenities, lovely pool area. They try very hard to make sure your experience is a good one and the multitude of positive reviews for this spot is testament to their good service and facilities.

Last Eve Guest House - Home away from Home!
Reviewed By Paul_OosthuizenLast Eve was recommended by a Local resident of Douglas. My first time there and definitely not my last time if I'm in the area. Vojin and his wife, Nadia is the perfect couple to own and manage The Last Eve. Clean and fresh rooms! Greta breakfast and if you book dinner, then dinner is absolutely scrumptious. They go the extra mile and you are assured of their personal attention at al;l times. A really enjoyable stay. I spent 3 days and 2 nights and can recommend them. Greta value for money.

Lovely setting, friendly hosts
Reviewed By angeladuncanHusband and I stayed for three nights in spotless, comfortable room. Amanda & Abraham are super friendly hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts [fruit & yoghurt, cereal, muffins, french toast with bacon, avo & sausage] Enormous swimming pool and lapa totally private out back. Was a very pleasant experience.

Grumpy Host to a Group of 6
Reviewed By Lizi8311Host is unpleasant and grumpy, implying that we broke his gate by lifting it from the rails, after we, as well as other guest that stay there on a regular basis, told him nobody approached the gate, he mentioned that the gate cannot get derailed by itself… absolutely unnecessary, unacceptable and unpleasant experience. Will defiantly not stay there again.
