"SPAIN-HOLIDAY IS NO LONGER…"
SPAIN-HOLIDAY IS NO LONGER SPAIN-HOLIDAY
There is a lot of false information on their website.
Spain-Holiday is gone, do not advertise with Spain-Holiday now through Holidu and Bookiply. My adverts which I have paid more than Euro 1000 each for a year are not even showing at all, and they do not offer any refund ! They say it wouldn't be happening if I had signed up to the new model through Bookiply. Very disappointing after all these years and very sad to see Bookiply spoiling a good company...

"RESPONSE TO SPAIN-HOLIDAY & BOOKIPLY"
RESPONSE TO SPAIN-HOLIDAY & BOOKIPLY
SPAIN-HOLIDAY & BOOKIPLY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!
What should be noted with interest by all hosts is that BOOKIPLY as with SPAIN-HOLIDAY have wilfully removed their telephone contact numbers from their websites, making it absolutely impossible for holiday rental owners to make any contact with any of these companies in the event of a dispute about YOUR owners payments or property listing. PATHETIC!
They had also stated:
"At Bookiply, we defend the interests of homeowners first and foremost."
This is not trustworthy as the evidence of other "honest" owner reviews on this platform clearly suggest that this is most certainly not the case.
Bookiply had also stated:
"We are proud to be offering homeowners the most favourable payout terms - as a Bookiply host, you receive a full payout before your guests check in".
Brilliant or deceptive? You decide!
The most favourable payout terms are for the owners to receive their payments immediately upon a guest making payment to the travel sites. It is the owners money after all.
What should be noted is that Bookiply "intentionally" does not specifically confirm that owners will be paid immediately upon receipt of guests payments and this needs to be clarified to all owners as there is no transparency offered by the company.
Bookiply had also stated:
"homeowners save up to 80% of time managing their listings"
In reality this amounts to gross misrepresentation for the simple reason that the migration will likely lead to owners having to spend well in excess of 100% in additional time and expense rectifying bookiply's and / or spain-holiday's errors & blunders for the simple reason that there are already too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
In this migration Bookiply is also likely to hold on to the owners damage security deposit. Receiving payment for any possible damage caused by guests to your prized rental nome is likely to be extremely problematic and time consuming.
Bookiply had also stated:
"Bookiply offers plenty of services to make your advert more competitive online".
The only way to make a homeowners listing more competitive is for owners to manage their own property listing and for guests to BOOK DIRECT and first hand with the owner without being cheated an additional guest booking fee or an additional owners service fee, which could increase the cost of any reservation by up to 25%.
DO NOT LIST OR BOOK ON BOOKIPLY OR SPAIN-HOLIDAY.
PLEASE LIKE & SHARE! THANK YOU!

"Home owner beware This is no longer the…"
Home owner beware This is no longer the Spain -Holiday we know and love.
You will never get the Best Price here. The Best Price will always be direct with the owner.
I am sure you will have discovered Spain-Holiday has been taken over by the aggressive startup company BOOKIPLY: (A German price comparison site) and they are attempting to turn it into an instant-booking sausage factory in which you will become just another disenfranchised listing. They hold booking deposits and all payments for unlimited time periods, i.e. after arrival date, which could be even a year in advance. They banish communications between owners and renters before any bookings are made. They have ruined one of the best and last, of the great rental websites offering free and open communications between renters and owners. Did we not already have enough with the likes of Tripadisor, AirBnb, Booking.com, Vrbo etc? Unbelievably BOOKIPLY are attempting to insert themselves between you the owner and AirBnb, Booking.com, Vrbo etc and you the renter. So now there will be extra layer of cost and confusion added to rental transactions. Oh and you are not permitted to have a contract because BOOKIPLY policy prevents it!!!! Now renters can look forward to having their questions answered by an algorithm instead of an owner who knows their house and the location with first hand experience. All for the sake of unprotected instant bookings. Get ready to have your home trashed by an invasion of young party goers and brace yourself against the specter of charge back finance and large hike in pricing to cover for this superfluous middleman.

"The World's Worst Website!"
We booked an apartment and were all set to go, flights booked, etc. A few days later we received an email to say our booking was cancelled and we were due a refund; we received our money but they tried to shortchange us! We made many attempts to contact them but they seemed to be ignoring our emails and messages giving no reason as to why they even cancelled in the first place, a horrendous experience!!!

"Villa rental company"
As an Villa rental company, we advertise our Villas across a number of platforms. I can honestly say that Spain-holiday outperforms all of them.
Easy to use. Good support and very helpful.
Would be happy to recommend.

"Spain-Holiday.com - a great site"
I have been using Spain Holidays for many years to market a villa in Andalucia. The site is easy to use and very well managed and yields lots of good rentals. In all my dealings with those working at Spain Holidays I have been impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful they are. A far better site from the standpoint of the owner and the renter than others out there.

"Spain-holiday is second to none…"
We have been working on and off with many portals for years and the truth is that the service provided by Spain-holiday is second to none which is why we are still working with them nearly a decade later. They genuinely care about their clients and offer a real human approach which is really appreciated.
Special thanks to Carmen and Elena for all their patience and help :-)))
