Lay My Hat

So glad I got out from this scummy company.

The evil immoral greedy property booking website is dead!

Long live the immoral greedy property booking website!

I can't help noticing that everytime HomeAway post an ad on Facebook it's not long before people post horror stories about their terrible experiences and the complete waste of time that is the Book With Confidence guarantee. This seems to put other posters off. Give it enough time and HA's social me...

OD appear to be a booking portal. But they know they cannot fully achieve this. Witness what happens the moment a booking goes wrong; they advise the guest to sort it out with the owner and refuse to get involved. They are powerless to resolve booking anomalies and they know it. It simply suits them...

You cannot possibly enter into a contract with an entity or person if you don't know their identity. For a company that would be the legal registered entity name (which you could check on Companies House, for example), and for a sole trader that would be a trading name/style and the name of the indi...

Anyone seen HomeAway's Trust Pilot review page in the last few days? Dozens and dozens of five star reviews, all saying pretty much the same thing - extremely easy to use website - have been left there in the last couple of days Everyone should do what I have just done - leave a one star review. If...

Anyone seen HomeAway's Trust Pilot review page in the last few days? Dozens and dozens of five star reviews, all saying pretty much the same thing - extremely easy to use website - have been left there in the last couple of days. Something obviously doesn't smell fishy whatsoever!! :lol: https://uk....

...and try to find some engineers that had a didgeridoo what planet they're on.

And good luck putting that into Google Translate monsieur!

Looks exactly like half a dozen other sites where some dodgy scam artist rings you up, says they have the most successful owner rental site on earth, states they charge $500 per annum, but if you sign up today they will only charge $250, but they offer a contractual guarantee that they will provide ...

I know this one appears to be on its own in a sea of favourable reviews, but it made me chuckle: I have been working at HomeAway full-time Pros - can hone your skills at defrauding people - learn how to be indifferent to customers when they are stressed out and at wits end because you will not help ...

Are OD/VRBO et al renting out the property or is the owner? OD like to claim to travellers that it is them - that they have full control via online booking and taking payments. We would prefer it if we the owners had control over the booking, but that's not the case now is it? I would see potential ...

Hi, I've received two txts, both identical, both relating to two different listing sites. I've checked with one of the listing sites and they confirm the txt is nothing to do with them. Each txt says: 'Dear ManxRed1, We need to update your (Listings Website name) account, please contact us at listin...

Hmmmm... a link to that, and the trustpilot review page might just keep cropping up on their facebook ads from now on.

Shame.

Yes, it's December 15th.

Shameless bump for this thread.

I've completed my questionnaire, and just sent it off now. Needless to say, the comments about Owners Direct (HomeAway) aren't particularly favourable!
