Endless communication. Basically their support babysitter.
Accommodation hardware: 4.5/5
Muse Holiday service: 0.5/5
Let’s get straight to the point: if you’re not the super patient type or don’t have time to communicate with them, just book somewhere else.
I spent a ridiculous amount of effort emailing and chasing them for replies—it honestly felt like even their own department manager was trying to push things forward on their end.
1. I completed the online check-in form a week before arrival. The system stated I would receive an info folder (apparently a 20+ page PDF), or that I could download it via a link—but neither worked. I emailed to ask how to proceed with check-in.
2. Since we were arriving after office hours, they arranged a late check-in and sent a link to pay the city tax. However, after I paid, they didn’t follow up with instructions for key collection, so I had to email again. They replied that the mailbox code would be provided on the day of arrival.
3. On the day itself, I still hadn’t received any code. I emailed again around 5 PM. An hour later, they called me—asking for the city tax, which I had already paid several days prior. After checking, they confirmed the payment and finally sent the mailbox code.
4. The promised info folder never arrived. When I followed up, I was told it was being updated. Without the PDF, we had to call just to ask for the Wi-Fi password.
5. I had also asked about toiletries. They answered, “Each property provides different amenities. If you want to know, we can check for you.” So I replied asking them to confirm, and they said there would be some—but none were there when we arrived. When I asked again, they explained that it was up to the owner and may not be included.
Overall, I exchanged over 10 emails just to get the most basic information. It felt more like I was handling their customer support than being a guest. If you’re okay with that, the apartment itself is quite nice—my travel companions were happy with it. But the management company definitely needs to improve its communication and internal coordination.
