  We just spent a very pleasant weekend at Préhistogite. A very warm welcome, unique and comfortable accommodation. We highly recommend it.

  We used a Wonderbox gift voucher at the Saint-Génies Prehistoric Site (24). This voucher was a gift from family and friends. During our initial phone contact, the owner specifically told us not to book through the Wonderbox website, but directly with him. He added that the dinner included in our voucher was just a sort of picnic with simple pâté sandwiches. He strongly insisted on offering us several regional menus for €25 each... As we eat very little in the evening, we eventually gave in and opted for a single menu (Périgord salad) to share. The welcome was warm, the room very clean, and the owner very attentive. The breakfast was quite substantial and sufficient. And dinner matched the description well. However, the next day, we paid an additional €34: €25 for the regional menu, €3 for an extra beer (which is normal), and, most importantly, €6 for tourist tax. Honestly, I would have thought this tax was included in the package. And especially that there would be a small deduction on the meal, given that the picnic wasn't served. But since everything is settled right at the time of departure, preferably in cash, by the time we realized what had just happened, we were already on the road (because of our tight schedule) to continue our exploration of this beautiful region of the Dordogne. In short, despite a pleasant stay at this gîte, friendly service, and good products, we felt like we'd been taken for a ride. What a shame! To the owner of Préhistogîte, the walnut wine was fine... but what about the two picnics included in the package that we never saw and that you didn't deduct from the extra charges? Furthermore, there was no mention anywhere of an additional tourist tax... we didn't even receive an invoice for the extra expenses. Yes, I'm being picky because I find it dishonest to offer a service through Wonderbox and then not deliver on it. According to other reviews, I'm not the only one who finds your practice of imposing extra charges on your customers strange. I've never disputed the 5-star rating for service, accommodation, and meal quality... but the overall 3-star rating is due to this odd way you impose menu supplements. We have nothing against supplements, despite what you say, but they must be disclosed and chosen by us, not by you. And don't worry, we won't be back to complain. Once again, what a shame!

  What more can I say than extraordinary to describe this place? The guesthouse is run by a very friendly owner. The service was impeccable; he welcomed us and explained how everything worked, including the jacuzzi. We had ordered meals from his menu, which he served in our room at the time we requested, as well as breakfast the next morning. The quality and quantity were truly impressive—don't hesitate to book! The guesthouses themselves are beautifully decorated, but the only thing that could be improved is the lack of outdoor lighting.
