Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Booking process was good, all seems straightforward so far. But having issues contacting office though, need to make an enquiry and the chat system never seems to be working ?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Lots of good properties in interesting places at reasonable prices. However, each one could do with more info on what's in the surrounding area.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The range of properties available is great, however beware of hidden charges. Electricity is often extra (and can be expensive if you have air conditioning or a pool at the property). We had a charge... See more

STAY AWAY FROM NOVASOL

STAY AWAY FROM NOVASOL. BOOK AT YOUR PERIL.
Booking.com description Booking.com rating 5.0 (probably nearer 3.0 in our opinion)
3 bedroom Beautiful Home in Arzal
Address 23 Rue de Bellevue, Arzal
recently stayed in a Gite in Arzal, Brittany. The whole experience was a complete fiasco. After check in we had to find the electrical master switch in the completely dark cellar, no torch provided , then find the water stop tap and have a guess at how to switch on the central heating boiler, no instructions were provided by the property owner or management company.
Of our 5 night stay we only had central heating and hot water for 2 night and bottled gas for the gas hob for 3 nights.
On the second night the central heating boiler exhaust pipe detached itself from the flu in the cellar and flooded the whole house with deisel fumes, this could have had serious consequences had not the deisel fuel run out leaving us with headache but no hot water or heating. The bottled gas for the hob ran out on the third day leaving us with limited cooking option.
All in all a very unpleasant experience made worse by the total lack of customer care from Novasol.
This booking was made through Booking.com and while they made an effort to assist it was simply not enough and far from effective it failed completely to solve any of the issues.
It seems that ,reading other reviews from dissatisfied customers, we were lucky in that Novasol offered compensation, although we leave with you to decide if Euro25 should be considered enough, for our part we thought it derisory and insulting. After further contact with Novasol they basically told us to go and whistle the offer would not be improved.
If this is the sort of customer care you would be happy to receive in the event of any problems go ahead and book with Novasol otherwise take our advice and STAY AWAY.

we are cosidering legal action against this company for marketing a property which in our opinion is dangerous and badly maintained, and for not providing in full the property as advertised. In short we did not get what we paid for.

A note for Booking.com should they ever see this review. You ought to take more care who you allow to advertise through your booking platform their reputation might rub off on you, or are you like Novasol only interested in the money. We will certainly be more aware of who manages future properities and will certainly not book any property managed by Novasol.

Very dissatisfied yet again with customer service

Very dissatisfied again with customer service.
Asked about possibility ofchanging changing dates of holiday and before say yes it will cost so much extra or not he went and changed booking without informing me.
Usual novasol customer care not good.
It let's down the satisfaction you know you will get same very poor treatment from customer service every time

Warning! Novasol is very bad company, bad service and no respect for the guests. Best advice stay away!

The owner of the property we were renting have repeatedly disturbed us with unannounced visits, which we regard as an invasion of our privacy. Additionally, we were falsely accused of causing a burn mark on the kitchen table with a cigarette, despite no one in our household being smoking inside the house as we have small kids. Later same day Novasol asked us to leave the property. We were visiting from UK and was asked to leave in extreme cold weather with kids at night hours. Still no refund and no compensation after destroying our holidays. STAY AWAY FROM NOVASOL this is our advise.

I contacted you because your website told me my deposit had not gone through, though my bank was showing it had. After investigating the question you confirmed my booking. Next day I found nothing had left my bank & my account with you showed I still hadn't payed the deposit which I then did. How was it confirmed by your representative originally

Worst experience ever

Worst experience ever, not helping, not understanding the consumer. Only thinking about getting the money from customer. Don't accept changes in the reservation. Complain sent to Customer Protection. The worst!!!

Web page woes.

I wanted to order linen and towels but could not do so using your web page!!! Had to do so via the chat function. Also want the phone number of the owner/caretaker as we will be travelling for some days before our arrival and do not have access to my emails when away from home.
