Left by host (Share our knowledge and learn ...) for Workawayer ()

During our conversations before your arrival, I explained very clearly that my husband is critically ill.
You assured me that you were an active person who would help me with everything that needed to be done, gardening, cleaning etc.
*On arrival you joined my arriving paying guests for the self-catering studio apartment. I provided sandwiches… read more for our welcome chat, you informed me that you could not eat the local bread because you only had 3 teeth.
The paying guests were inquiring if my cleaning lady would be cleaning their room, you said "Oh yes I need to know that too, will she be cleaning my room., my answer No Linda, you are here with workaway, you clean your own room"
*Rules relating to water/electricity-the water pump is electric, the pool pump is electric, the washing machine is electric. Only 1 appliance can be switched on at a time, or you will blow the electricity!! It's not rocket science. After the 3rd time of explaining, along with all the other stress you caused, I may be less patient.
You didn't get up until 10:30,you don't drink Nescafé, you said you would bring ground coffee with you but didn't I gave you ground coffee.
*I asked you to water the gardens with the hose pipe, explaining I will put the tap on,please call me when you've finished as the tap is broken, you didn't call me,left the hose running, flooding the car park with 1,000 L of precious water, whilst you relaxed in your hammock. The guests complained they had no water....
* You arrived on a Monday afternoon, did very little to help Tue - Friday in fact more damage than help.left Monday morning.
*The 'kitchen' you refer to is not a kitchen but at the time the UN USED breakfast room. Very dusty shelving that needed a good clean, before it would be used as a breakfast room again, no greasy dirty pans in there!
The fridge needed wiping out but you didn't do it
*Fresh fruit and vegetables are available for picking in season, I can't make a Mango tree produce fruit out of season!
* There was no serious discussion with ex workawayers, one of the couple had to leave early as sadly his grandfather had passed away, he was already gone when you arrived, they both wanted to return for another week, but unfortunately I had to decline as our circumstances changed dramatically. They did not take off!
*Contact with guests:-
We pride ourselves on our guests having peace, quiet and relaxation, behind closed gates, no hassle from sellers.
Wednesday I had two regular clients for hairdressing, you came with your homemade earrings saying "you don't have to buy" they both complained and said they didn't think Linda was going to work out.
*As you were staying in a poolside guest room, informing me you were going to fry fish outside your room at the weekend, I said no, but I would get on with clearing the rubble from the workaway area & put the BBQ there, whilst I did this,you relaxed in your hammock, letting me do all the work.
You say in your profile that you are experienced with local cooking...
*#redacted text#
You saved us the decision to ask you to leave. Sadly it made us doubt taking anyone else from Workaway.
You definitely shouldn't be on Workaway, you are not suitable, not fit for work.
