★★★★ Walt Bukowski 6/30/2026 v31.3
I wish someone could explain to me how you can take our money, when we didn't even stay at the property for longer than an hour. we received the run around from customer service agents that could care less. We still haven't been refunded for a cancellation at a roach infested disgusting property. No stars. -Will not be using this crooked company again. 👎
★★★★ Roxanne Ria Winders 6/30/2026 v67.1

★★★★ 64abbo 6/30/2026 v67.1
terrible company. the day of travelling to gran canaria they cancelled our booking and the stress was through the roof . no help was forthcoming, cost me an extra 300 pounds more to find a place on the day and customer service run and hide behind no reply emails. one star isn't low enough

★★★★ Lucas Napier 6/30/2026 v67.1
Ive been trying to use this in 7 different cities all month and have not been able to book a single reservation. sometimes my card doesn't work (works on Hostelworld!), sometimes it says my internet went out while trying to reserve a room (internet works on everything else!) Really a huge disappointment.
★★★★ David 6/30/2026 v66.9
The host didn't provide any information about check-in, customer service ignored me, and I got hung up on the phone. As a result, I wasted a whole day, and I'm not sure if I'll end up sleeping on the street. Disgusting customer service, absolutely.
★★★★ Helgi Valur Einarsson 6/30/2026 v67.0
Choose everything else! I have been in the highest level almost 10 years with the highest level of customer service. In all that time, not a single issue have been solved, absolutely impossible to cancel or get refund, no matter how ridiculous the case is. If they don't have any arguments, they just stop replying. You can't add pictures or proofs to complaints or issues and it's extremely difficult to contact by purpose and it's no way to take screenshot of confirmations. I am done with this!
★★★★ h Istvan 6/30/2026
disgusting how ads they have in all the apps out
★★★★ Sass G 6/30/2026 v67.1

★★★★★ Ike Demarku 6/30/2026 v67.0
Hello, I completed my property registration, but for the past 2 days my account has been stuck on "You're almost there." I have checked everything and cannot see anything missing or any action required. Could you please let me know what is preventing my property from being activated? I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.
