Stay cancelled by property owner at short notice

The smell of mould was overwhelming. Bedding was not clean. Carpet was not vacuumed.

Location was excellent.

Property could do with some updating. Bathroom from the 1970s. Very noisy on Saturday night from the nearby pubs. We were given a very specific time for check-in between 3-5 p.m. so we arrived 3.05 and no answer to door or phone calls. Went and had a walk around town, tried calling again. Finally spoke to host who told us he'd had to go shopping and we had to be there by 4 p.m. Not a good start. Luckily we were only booked in for the one night.

Breakfast was an experience. The host had put everything out on the table for everyone, rather than letting us help ourselves, which was very confusing. Only one person preparing food meant it was all quite slow. But the food when it came was OK.

It had sheets over the windows and looked shuttered. No one answered the door. My husband called booking.com who then called the owner. The rooms smelled awful, the toilet and shower were not clean, you could feel the springs in the mattress.

The breakfast was excellent and the location as well.

The place is under construction. Avoid.

We thought the place was closed up. The owner is renovating. Not sure why this place is advertised for bookings.

Property doesn’t exist anymore! It was a scam and we had to find another place to stay

Everything. There was no breakfast. We were told, on arrival, that the rate for the room was so low that he didn't feel obliged to provide breakfast for us. The room was small, very cramped and dirty. There was dust on most surfaces and the floors were unswept. We had to ask for water glasses. In addition, it felt a bit like a construction site: renovations were being done in the front hallway.

Nothing. The place was dirty and almost uninhabitable.

Great location in the main street. David, the owner, is really friendly and helpful. He was up at 5.30am to make me breakfast for before the Lost Sheep triathlon. Great value for money in a very expensive part of the country.

Being taken for $496 by Booking.com I am still fighting Booking.com for a full refund. I suggest you delist this Property from your Portfolio. I am sharing this information with THE WHOLE WORLD.

The Property has been Closed since July. Note the Internet complaints from Booking.com members who were scammed when they made Reservation here with Booking.com Booking.com is complicit in this scam

Booked but no one showed up to enter property and no communication made from host even after phone calls, texts and emails. Absolute disaster

Nothing as the host didn’t show to allow access to room

I didn't stay there the host told me last minute I had to cancel my reservation because the accomodation is under renovation. Through booking.com the cancellation was only 50% so I asked the host for full refund because they asked me to cancel, I shouldn't have to lose money because they forgot to make the accomodation unavailable, and I have not received response yet. This is unacceptable and I will have to go through legal action

That the management has not seen fit to reach out to me after my encounter with whoever dealt with me and led me to believe they were not operational.

Impossible to tell. The area where you check in was completely torn up, supposedly for remodeling. Although I was not told before I arrived, evidently David Sheehan allowed a complete nutcase to welcome me, and that person told me they were not open for business and when I said I would call, he told me the number was disconnected. That same person led me to a hostel a couple of blocks away, where I booked a room. Quite unsettling. Worse, Sheehans has not responded to any of my messages. No refund. No nothing.

We booked to stay at Sheehans for two nights. We booked 5 days before our stay and received a message the afternoon of our stay saying that the property was unavailable due to renovations. We then asked for a refund and have since received no word from David. It’s been a week since this request and have paid for a place where we were never able to stay.

Absolute joke - taking bookings for a building thats undergoing refurbishment! Had to find alternative accommodation at last minute, then a big argument to get money bad. Its been like that for a while according to neighbours, so how many more people have been scammed, and booking.com leave it up - really? - AVOID THIS AND BOOKING.COM

Nothing

The place was shut. Regards Carolyn

I didnt stay the 2 nights at all, there was no one there to let me in & the place looked deserted. I asked the nearest group of people what l should do (customers outside the nearest pub) & was advised that the owner of Shehans was highly unlikely to be around for the rest of the night & as a single women alone was advised not to stay there as the man in question was "insane". Luckily l was able to go & stay with friends in Bonane. In case you think i made this up, i was advised that l was the 3rd customer this year with the same problem and will be looking for compensation and to have this property removed from booking sites on the internet.

Booking.com Team, I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding a highly distressing experience we had during our recent trip to the Republic of Ireland. We had booked accommodation at Sheehans on Main Street for the night of 19th April 2025 through your platform. However, upon arrival, we were shocked to find that the property did not exist. Locals in the area confirmed this to us, leaving us completely stranded during a busy holiday period with no place to stay. We immediately contacted your customer service team and spent approximately four hours waiting for a resolution. Eventually, we were informed that the only support offered would be a £18 contribution towards an alternative stay (no help to make a booking and no readiness to pay the cost of making an alternative booking for your fault) — a completely unreasonable solution given the urgency and seriousness of the situation. Due to the lack of proper assistance, we were forced to arrange alternative accommodation ourselves, which took another couple of hours and came at a much higher cost than our original booking. We have attached the invoice for the last-minute hotel we had to book. This experience left us shocked, distressed, and disappointed. It not only ruined the start of our trip but also reflects very poorly on the reliability and support offered by Booking.com. We were not at fault in any way and expected your platform to ensure legitimate listings and offer better support in such a critical situation. We are requesting the following: A full refund of the cost incurred for the alternative booking Additional compensation for the extreme inconvenience, discomfort, and the four hours we were left stranded without a proper resolution We hope you treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
