Private Property Owners beware of advertising your property on Holiday-rentals.co.uk They advertise your property then allow anyone to post a good or "bad review" on your property , leaving it published online permanently. Companies should not allow public publishing of information especially if the review is not truely justified or proven. Publishing of misleading or damanging content is incorrect. I am in favour of the concept of reviews however it will only cause harm rather tha damage online for the simple reason that it is impossible for the publishers to keep up with properly justifying peoples opinions. Like Email and Spam, The review system is is a ...  Read the complete review

HOLIDAY RENTALS Holiday rentals is a website that advertises properties up for rental either at home or aboard. You can advertise your property with them for a full year at £185 and this includes up to 20 photographs. Along with Holiday Lettings, (holidayletting.co.uk) they are the top two websites. I have recently put my bosses property on there, which is in Studland Dorset. I wasn't quite sure how to go about things at first, so I telephoned the sales team, and they were very helpful. They put on the photographs for me as someone ad emailed tem to me and I had no idea how to upload them from an email. The site lets you edit your webpage and ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on holiday-rentals.co.uk

holiday - rentals customer service is terrible. We had a villa booked,the owner cancelled 4 days before our departure. She went off with our money and we couldn't even get customer services to call back. Rang 4 times and told no customer services manager available and no idea when one could ring us. Rental guarantee? forget it. no protection at all as these people are not interested. had to book another villa and put the loss of £1700 down to experience. - a bad one at that. buyer beware!!!! forced to give one star rating but not worth that.

Too many properties and libellous bogus reviews (387 words)

Holiday Rentals (actually HomeAway) has changed dramatically in the last year or two. Firstly, it has bought up several of its bigger competitors. Some of these have been merged into the main sites, giving them 10s of thousands of available rental properties. This has disadvantages for property owners, in that their properties can now be submerged in a mass of competitors, and for potential renters who see only a small selection of available properties as the result of a search and may be missing out on seeing properties which would better meet their needs. Secondly, it has introduced a 'review' feature. Initially, this was limited to owners posting their own ...  Read the complete review
