Charming Modern House in Traditional Compound Setting

My wife and I,impressed by the description,review and services on offer rented for a week .We were misled
The "Holiday-Villa"-theme family-is nothing more than a series of separate small ground floor rooms(300 m. is the area of the compound) off a verandah and consists of a lounge with bedroom attached;a bathroom off this;2 further small separate bedrooms(1 was OCCUPIED though we had technically rented it);an outside toilet-no hand basin- and an outside shower.Photos lie.The rooms are badly lit making reading at night very difficult..
THE KITCHEN-not photographed-was dingy,the sink badly stained-was NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.Wanting only to make hot drinks and to prepare a simple breakfast we had to ask for a kettle.We were told a jug of hot water could be left for us overnight!The only utensils were table knives,forks and spoons.Try cutting a melon with a blunt knife.Also,the kitchen was often left in a disgusting state(see 3 below).How the students cooked is a mystery .
NOTE.This is a SHARED PROPERTY as the owner and others live above(and in bedroom3).This caused many PROBLEMS.
1 Total lack of privacy at all times day and night.
2 Noise.Loud conversations outside the bedroom went on well past midnight.On one occasion a party went on ,in the garden,to 4 a,m.
3Meals, cooked upstairs and take-aways- were eaten in the garden in the evening but DIRTY plates and UNEATEN FOOD were left in the downstairs RENTED kitchen and COMMUNAL(!)fridge.
4.Water.To shower with an uninterrupted flow of water, other residents had to be asked not to run the water elsewhere.We were told to shower at 8.pm.There is NO HOT WATER in the kitchen or bathroom washbasin.
5.SERVICES. Beware profiteering.You expect to pay a "premium" for certain services but check the price before accepting an airport pickup;a meal or an excursion.The prices charged or quoted to us were not the same as the charges advertised.
The house is secure,the garden pretty(not for quiet enjoyment) and is suitable for students/backpackers used to very basic,shared dormitory style facilities but it is NOT A FAMILY"VILLA" conducive to a pleasant stay.We have rented in Morocco,S.Africa,Botswana and Zimbabwe.Our stay was not typical of African or Senegalese hospitality we enjoyed elsewhere.
.
Our experience was summed up at 1.30 am on the morning of our departure.I asked if the noise could be kept down.The owner shouted back"That is YOUR PROBLEM,this is MY HOUSE",You would be unwise to share it.
