Sticky dirty tiny flat, smell of rotting fish in fridge, money back promised but not refunded
Location is fine
My experience at this property was unacceptable and raised serious concerns about guest safety and basic standards. The access system to the building did not work, leaving me and my child unable to enter until the host intervened. The communal areas were extremely worn, a bit smelly and poorly maintained.
Inside the apartment, the condition was far below what is advertised. There was a strong rotting‑fish smell coming from the fridge, which has been mentioned by several previous guests over many months.
The sofa was dirty, the toilet seat was broken, the window and door handles were visibly dirty, and the dishes were chipped. Bedding was insufficient for the number of guests, and there was dust and poor cleaning throughout.
The property did not offer any alternative accommodation. Instead, they proposed to clean the apartment, which was not a realistic solution given the level of hygiene and maintenance issues. This left me and my child without accommodation abroad and without the refund the owner later claimed to have sent. Only £13 was refunded, despite the situation.
Multiple past reviews show the same problems over a long period, and it is concerning that these issues have not been addressed.
I cannot recommend this property.

Cool modern apartment
Cool apartment - modern, with brand new furniture and appliances. Every room has its own AC. Located in a quiet residential area. There is a huge free parking lot right by the building
The kitchen only had sets of dishes for 3 people.
The fridge had a very strong, unpleasant smell when we opened it.
The sofa bed wasn't made properly - the sheet didn't cover the whole bed, leaving the foot part uncovered. We later found an extra set in the closet, but it was still a bit strange.

⭐ 1/5 – DISGUSTING SCAM. DO NOT BOOK. EVER. Elegant Escape Apartments III is not an apartment
Nothing,!!!⭐ 1/5 – DISGUSTING SCAM. DO NOT BOOK. EVER.
Elegant Escape Apartments III is not an apartment – it’s a trap.
I paid €42 on Booking.com, arrived as scheduled, and then the host refused to give me the key unless I paid an extra €100 cash deposit on the spot. This was never handled properly or transparently and felt like a setup from the moment I arrived.
When I explained that I did not have extra cash and that the only money I had left was for my return ticket, the host showed zero humanity or professionalism. Instead of offering any reasonable solution, he demanded to see my bank account or asked me to hand over my personal belongings as “security.” This is invasive, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable.
When I refused, he locked me out and left me standing in the cold, despite the fact that I had already paid for the room. Let me be very clear:
👉 I paid. I arrived. I was denied access. I never entered the apartment.
Later, the same host had the audacity to message me asking me to leave a good review in exchange for returning €20. That alone proves how dishonest and manipulative this operation is.
It gets worse. His behavior was aggressive and threatening. At one point, he even asked me to come outside and fight, which is beyond shocking. This is not just unprofessional — it is dangerous behavior.
This host is rude, intimidating, dishonest, and a bully. The apartment itself is unclean, poorly managed, and clearly not run by someone who should be hosting guests at all.
This is how the scam works:
You book on Booking.com
You arrive to collect your key
They suddenly demand more money
If you don’t comply, you are locked out and pressured or intimidated
DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE.
Do not risk your money, your safety, or being stranded.
If you value peace, dignity, or basic human respect, stay far away from Elegant Escape Apartments III.
This review is written so no one else becomes the next victim.
⭐ 1/5 – Absolute scam. Avoid at all costs.
This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with any apartment or host.
I paid €42 for this apartment, but when I arrived, the host suddenly demanded an extra €100 deposit in cash before allowing me into the room. This was never clearly stated in a fair or transparent way beforehand.
I explained that I did not have extra cash on me and that the only money I had left was for my return ticket. I calmly suggested a reasonable solution: that he could inspect the room at checkout, and if everything was fine, I would leave without any issues. He refused.
Instead of acting like a professional host, he demanded to see my bank account or asked me to hand over my personal belongings as “security.” That is completely unacceptable and invasive. When I refused, he left me outside in the cold, even though I had already paid for the room. I never received the key and never got access to the apartment I paid for.
Later, the host messaged me asking me to leave him a good review in exchange for returning €20. That alone should tell you everything about how dishonest this operation is.
To make things even worse, his behavior was aggressive and intimidating. At one point, he even asked me to come outside and fight, which is shocking and wildly unprofessional.
This host is rude, disrespectful, manipulative, and a bully. The place itself is unclean, and the entire setup feels like a trap: they let you book, but once you arrive to collect the key, they start playing games to extract more money.
Do not waste your money here. Do not put yourself in a situation where you could be stranded, intimidated, or taken advantage of.
Please learn from my experience and do not become the next victim.

Perfect place to visit Bratysława
Apartment is very clean and equiped with all necessary. Area is quiet with public transport and shops nearby. Very good check in instruction.
Perfect place for visiting Bratysława.
Many small things need owner attention, eg. loose door to bathroon, loose toilet cover or tv making very annoying sound when turned off.
Cool apartment - modern, with brand new furniture and appliances. Every room has its own AC. Located in a quiet residential area. There is a huge free parking lot right by the building
The kitchen only had sets of dishes for 3 people.

Veľmi dobrá komunikácia zo strany poskytovateľa, premyslené odovzdanie kľúčov, skvelá poloha (potrebovali sme byť blízko letiska) - nablízku napešo obchod, ihrisko a bezproblémové parkovanie. Ubytovanie čisté a útulné.
Len maličkosti, nad ktoré sa určite dalo povzniesť - zlomený rosť v posteli, pohyblivá záchodová doska, zápach v chladničke…

Veľmi príjemný pobyt, gauč aj posteľ pohodlné, v byte bolo čisto. Lokalita skvelá, tichá, dobre dostupná hromadnou dopravou. Vybavenie dostatočné a nebol problém ani s komunikáciou. Klimatizácia je obrovský plus, nakoľko bez nej bolo v byte veľmi teplo.
V predošlých recenziách bol spomenutý smrad z chladničky a bohužiaľ ten stále pretrváva, hoci bola čistá. Kúpeľňa je dosť maličká, ale bežný človek sa v pohode zmestí.

Naozaj veľmi dobrá lokalita.
Zničené žalúzie, prihoreny hrniec, vana sa nedala napustiť lebo bol poškodený uzáver, listy na zemi boli dolamane. Naše dieta popísalo fixkou stenu a nestihli sme tomu zabrániť a majiteľ nás po odchode žiadal aby sme to prišli opraviť. Dlho využívam ubytovanie cez Booking.com po celom svete ale toto ma naozaj prekvapilo.
