Reporting damages/issues

Reporting issues and damages for one of your bookings had just got even easier. 

Now any issue or reports of damage can be submitted via our platform by either the booker or Lead guest of a booking. This can be done on the website or via our app as a more convenient method. 

Top Tip: Make sure you allocate the lead guest to all bookings to enable them to directly report any issues straight away, cutting out the middle man and saving time. 

How to submit a report of an issue / damage 

1 - You will need to log into your account > go to Bookings > click on the booking that you are looking to report damages on >  click on help desk tab. You will then land on the below page :

2 - Click on "report an issue" button, it will then bring you to the below form to complete. The House section will automatically complete if there is only one Property on the booking, however if the booking has multiple properties, there will be a drop down for you to select the property in question. 

3 - Complete the form using the drop downs/description boxes & uploading any supporting evidence such as images or videos. Please note we require photographic evidence of any damages, so ensure you have these when submitting the form. 

Top tip : encourage the guests take photos or a video of the entire property on arrived to document the condition. 

Different types of damages / Issues :

If you are reporting multiple issues or damages, no matter if they are within the same property, you will need to create a ticket per item so that these can be addressed individually.

If we do not feel that a resolution is being reached, the team may step in and contact both parties directly to discuss and help reach a resolution.
