"GOOD QUALITY - CUSTOMER SUPPORT"

Kind and persistent customer support and following up, on a complicated claim to a third party.
The support was given months after the apartment was rented, and resulted for my part in that I received the refund as I was promised, by third part

"They support unscrupulous landlords who take your deposit AVOID THIS SITE Would not recommend."

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Would not recommend.
This is an un-monitored advertising site,
that does not regulate or control advertising standards providing the advertiser pays then they will allow anything on their portal.
After a fabulous holiday with what apparently was a great landlord of our rented villa, the landlord has illegally withheld the £100 security deposit after a photo of a supermarket bag of a couple of empty plastic bottles, saying that there was "excessive cleaning needed" this in conjunction with a meet and greet service which was priced at one rate then charged at another led to a dispute over the deposit.
Spain Holiday did nothing at all to rectify or even look into this properly and then replied that it was nothing to do with them as they only advertise nothing more.

Reputation matters in the hospitality business and any unsuspecting person on this occasion such as ourselves, should be aware that even though the deposit is not listed on the website, any agreed deposit should effectively be added to the cost of the rental, as you may end up like us loosing the amount after leaving the country, with the only recourse of a small claim if the charge was not justified or even simply contended.

The owner of our villa seemed to think that as they had paid to advertise their property, and in addition had to pay standard cleaning costs that would arise from rental in any event, that those costs could be carefully passed on to any unsuspecting visitor renting their villa.
Our villa was: El-Cielo ref:34334
We would not recommend anyone to book through this website after our upsetting experience...

PLEASE NOTE THE REPLY BELOW:
We were offered £30 as a refund not at stated £70 which we would have agreed to. Spain-Holiday were actually complicit in supporting their advertiser which lead to our review.
Advertisers are responsible for moderating their clients therefore our review.

UPDATED 8 MONTHS LATER:

Still no refund given for deposit paid.

Scam 3rd Party Website Avoid at all costs

UPDATED YEARS LATER:

Still no refund given for deposit paid.

"Never rent this house!"

My husband and I rented a 3 bedroom villa in Benissa, Spain for one month from Spain Holidays. Do not rent this house ref. # 39965 from Book it.
We will never rent from them again. Any house anywhere. We travel a lot and have never encountered anything like this before.
This is not just a list of complaints.
There was a very serious issue with this property.
When they finally got a tech. to come and fix the internet that had not worked for a week we were told that the security system had several cameras and microphones inside the house which could see and hear everything. The manager said that the owners always want to make sure that the renters do not have more people then they disclosed. When we spoke with Book it they did not take this issue seriously.
The other issues were that the window screens had holes and were ripped so the mosquitos got in. The main rooms air conditioner did not work. The promised Netflix was turned off after a week...we could go on and on...but..
We did write the owners but they never responded. There is no way to leave a review on the actual website picturing the house. Wish we could..

"Head and shoulders above the rest!"

I have been renting for 15 years. Spain-Holiday is head and shoulders above the rest for attentive and excellent service and bringing me a flow of enquiries and clients every year without fail! Thanks for always being there when I need you!

"We are retiring from holiday letting…"

We are retiring from holiday letting this year, in Alhaurin de la Torre, Costa del Sol, Spain, having run our holiday business for over 18 years.
I have always been delighted with the service we have received from spain-holiday. I wish them every success for the future. I always believed a good strong company like theirs would be able to stay afloat, because there are many owners like me, who do not want to have to deal with giant companies that gobble everyone else up. We want choices. We need a fast feedback and individual attention to our problems and they have surpassed themselves in that area. This company also work closely with the Spanish authorities and provide us with up to date information on new licencing laws. They even hold public seminars to keep us informed of the latest changes, eg how to make contact with the Guardia civil to register guests.
When I started out in this business, I had to put adverts in the LADY and EXCHANGE & MART in the UK. We didn't even have internet in the campo then. Advertising has become so much easier now. I even joined HOMEAWAY when they were free many years ago, but Spain-holiday has it right. So right in fact, that for the last 5 years I have only had to advertise with spain-holiday and my personal website. We have had many repeat guests from them and I am ending the year with one family who have been visiting us since 2012, which is a great way to bow out. GOOD LUCK to you all and keep up the good work, best wishes for the future, Suzanne

"Super company ."

Super company .
As an owner who has been involved in Holiday rentals in Spain for 25 years I can honestly say Spain-holiday.com are a very professional and customer focussed company.
Unlike the 2 huge rental market leaders , who have become not only greedy but are taking control from owners Spain-holidays.com are owner friendly! Always easy to communicate with and are efficient and competent.
I have transferred my Spanish apartments from HomeAway to them and I am delighted to have found them. We have received excellent results in rentals both in Marbella and Mojacar and super guests. We look forward to many years of co-operation to come. Especially as they make the effort to ensure owners are Tourism Registered and genuine which protects guests .

"La Cascada oasis villa, Torrox"

Rented la Cascada oasis villa between Torrox and Frigiliana through Spain-holiday. The experience was less than good. The villa was filthy, we had to make our own beds after searching high and low for bedding, pillows and towels. Things were broken (table, toaster) and initially there weren’t enough sunloungers for what was supposed to be a 6 person villa. To be fair to Spain-holiday they did try to sort things out with the owner who was being obstructive and on occasion threatening but 5 days of the holiday were spent trying to get things sorted - very stressful. The owner tried to withhold some of the deposit ‘for extra cleaning’ - an absolute joke. Spain-holiday do have to take the blame for misrepresenting the villa initially, failing to ensure that the villa was ready and fit for occupation and what is worse are refusing to allow us to review the property. Very poor!

"I booked an apartment with…"

I booked an apartment with Spain-holiday.com through Vladimir and Anna Emmerig. The disorganisation was pretty clear from the start, on the day we were due to travel after many unanswered emails and request for check in information we were told that the apartment had been double booked. This information was I believe something they sat on for some time ,as in my experience of booking holidays check in information is given on final payment. Vladimir and Anna are still yet to write an apology for being the cause of the two elderly people decided upon this news not to travel. The representative of Spain. Com did contact the renters but once it was clear how wrong our holiday booking had gone, they simply took us off their emailing list so we could not review. Please do not use this site and certainly if you come across the letting agency Vladimir and Anna Emmerig avoid them at all cost. We managed to get a apartment at short notice, but we unfortunately paid a premium for basic accommodation and were left considerably out of pocket. So please if you want a holiday to be the joyous experience it should be then go through another site. Tracey Mulhaney
