Clean & tidy & easily found Great area to spend a weekend Would definitely use again. Only problem was we could not get the TV to work. Perhaps some information on local amenities would be helpful

A little disappointing

The apartment is in a great location, and has good secure parking.
Directions to find it were good.

However, there is no welcome pack or instructions how to operate anything. We worked out most things for ourselves but couldn't connect to Wi-Fi. Despite several attempts to contact the owner there was no response, and a call to Travelnest just directed us back to the owner.
The apartment was not the one in the promotional pictures, and could do with a refresh. The view was not quite the City views advertised.
It has the potential to be so much better.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased the location, parking, and directions worked well.
We sincerely apologize that the host didn't respond to your WiFi queries and that there was no welcome information provided. We also acknowledge the apartment didn't match the promotional photos and needs refreshing.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this honest feedback with us.

Travelnest confirmed our booking and then cancelled a day before

Travelnest confirmed our booking and then asked us to cancel it one day before check-in, claiming the property was no longer available.
This came immediately after I sent a polite message asking whether a late checkout might be possible. Instead of a normal response, they cancelled the stay entirely.
Our plans involved multiple people and had already been arranged. The lack of responsibility and customer care shown here is shocking.
Accommodation providers should understand the consequences of cancelling at the last minute — Travelnest clearly doesn’t.
If you plan your travel with Travelnest it will be a TravelFail.

We are truly sorry this happened to you. Having your booking cancelled the day before check-in is incredibly disruptive, especially with multiple people involved and plans already made. I completely understand your frustration this isn't the experience anyone should have, and the timing made it even worse. We genuinely regret the impact this had on your trip.

PROBLEM PARKING

I did not purchase from you. I purchased from hotel.com. The info I was given said free parking when I got to the apartment I had to pay £30 for the 3days. Had I known about the true cost of parking I would have gone elsewhere.

Horrendous

Horrendous. As a host I have watched this company decline over the years. I had up to 4 properties on with them. Now they have added a fee of 160+ VAT to cancel a booking for any reason - that does not go to the guests - but straight profit. No telephone service. And boy, when you reach them are they defensive. Tried to charge me fees for their errors, take no accountability. Terrible, Terrible channel find another. I also deal directly with the channels. There are no penalties imposed for cancellations in emergencies or within 24 hours etc. So to suggest the £160+ VAT is paid to the channel is another example of the disregard to hosts given.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We never want our hosts to feel this way.
Regarding the cancellation fees, these are outlined in our terms and conditions and reflect the actual costs we incur from booking platforms when cancellations occur, including cancellation penalties and guest relocation fees charged to us by channels. These aren't retained as profit but cover the fees imposed on us by the platforms.
I genuinely apologize that we haven't met your expectations, and I appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us.

Short stay

The apartment was clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately no checking in information was given, which led to a very delayed checking in whilst we tried to find out where to get keys from.
The tv and internet would not work.
The person serving at the front desk tried to be helpful and remedy the situation.

Poor experience

We stayed in a flat in Liverpool over New Year. The cleanliness of the apartment wasnt great. Dust and fluff in the corners of most rooms. We found a cooked sausage under the sofa (god knows how long it had been there) when we moved it after dropping something under. There were 2 used cotton buds in the corner of the livingroom. The place wasnt unliveable but it certainly felt like someone had been living there right up till last minute before wd arrived. The windows are in very poor condition and cohld do with being replaced. The condensation in the windows is really bad. The mattress on the double bed was very thin and you could feel the springs through it. We had to keep an eye on the smart metre and message the host when it was running low or on emergency to have it topped up which wasnt great, felt like you were constantly watching as the heating had to be kept on all day and night due to how cold the apartment would get. A thicker duvet would have been better as it was very thin. As I said the apartment wasnt unliveable but not the most comfortable stay

We never stayed due to illness

We never stayed due to me and my son being unwell last minute and tried to cancel and get at least a partial refund as it was a 2 night stay but that was refused so we ended up having to pay the full amount. Dissapointing and very expensive.

Fantastic setting

Fantastic setting. Excellent communication and easy to find. Extremely well equipped kitchen. House was spacious and had a really relaxing feel. The Christmas decorations were an amazing surprise which made us feel so welcome. Could hear the sound of the sea with an unimpeded view. Just wonderful.

Filthy

The apartment was disgusting, stunk of cigarettes, had mould everywhere and was generally just filthy. Bits of door were missing, locks falling off, bits of walls with chunks out of it. The photos on the booking look nothing like the actual property
