Bait and switch. Offered me a replacement apartment, which was 100 EUR a day cheaper. Wrote me "Please note that this change will be handled internally, so it will not appear directly on your booking channel. All future information and instructions will apply to the replacement apartment, and there will be no additional charges for this adjustment."
Avaimenluovutusohjeet todella huonot. Asiakas ei tee mitään sillä tiedolla, milloin saa koodin. Olisi tärkeätä viestiä, että avaimen saa automaatista aikaisintaan silloin, kun asunnon vuokrausaika alkaa. Meitä oli jonossa useampia epätietoisia odottamassa. Olimme kaikki saaneet viestin, jossa kerrottiin milloin saa koodin. Koodi ei toimi ennen asunnon vuokrausaikaa. Kaikki viestintä oli automatisoitua. En suosittele.
Be very careful to take extensive pictures of every item in the appartment, every window and door, to prove everything was ok when you left. As you're going to be considered prey and they will invent a damage to keep your deposit. Or better not book with them at all. We didn't read the reviews and warnings here so we booked an appartment with 2ndhomes Helsinki last week. It was a bit uncomfortable to get the keys, as you have to pick them up at their central office which was not close to the apartment. Getting into the apartment was an ordeal, as there were several locks and even more unmarked keys. The place itself was beautiful and beautifully decorated, but at second view quite run down. Some unsafe sockets hanging out of the wall e.g. And quite dirty, especially the kitchen, which was also poorely equipped. Two pots and two pans, one pot has two matching lids, the other none e.g. We booked a two bedroom apartment for two people. Nonetheless it was assumed we would share a bed so only one was made. But it was only about half an hour after we left the big trouble began: we were accused of having left the balcony door open so that the wind slammed it and the window was broken. They would keep the deposit. Thank you for your understanding ...We had not even found the balcony, let alone touched the door as we arrived late and left early. It's an obvious scam ...and communication is very unhelpful.
Am facut rezervarea direct pe site inainte sa citim recenziile. Abia cu 1 zi inainte de plecaream citit si sincer in prima faza ne-am ingrozit. In ciuda tuturor recenziilor negative pot sa afirm ca am avut parte de servicii foarte foarte bune. Studioul a fost foarte curat, utilat si echipat. Localizat foarte aproape de centru, dar si de gara...locatia a fost minunata. Inclusiv angajatii 2nd home au fost foarte amabili si atunci cand am avut intrebari si ne-am prezentat la sediul lor pentru a ne raspunde au fost amabili si receptivi la toate intrebarile noastre. Nu am avut nicio problema nici pe perioada sederii și nici ulterior. Inteleg ca poate alte persoane au avut experiente mai putin placute, dar noi recomandam serviciile lor. Voi alege si pe viitor serviciile oferite de 2nd home. Multumim pentru ca ati facut sederea noastra foarte placuta🙏!
Aivan kammottavaa toimintaa, välttäkää kaikin keinoin! Rahat meni eikä mitään tullut vastineeksi, asiakaspalvelua ei ole olemassa.
Meillä oli asunto Kampissa jota oli vaikea löytää. Avain piti hakea toisaalta. Matkatavaroiden kanssa tämä ei ollut kivaa. Itse asunto oli vanha mutta ihan hieno. Erittäin suuri pettymys oli että yhdelle vieraista ei ollut pedattua sänkyä eikä pyyhettä. Vieraille ei ollut kaapissa kahvia tai teetä. Shampoo ja hoitoaine onneksi löytyi mutta näyttivät edellisiltä vierailta jääneiltä. Saunassa oli haju joka kertoi että sitä ei ole kunnolla pesty aikoihin.
Nos alojamos en un apartamento gestionado por esta empresa y al llegar estaba todo el apartamento sucio sin limpiar y en unas condiciones deplorables. Por si no fuera poco se limpian las manos y no hacen nada por solucionarlo y al final tras dejar el apartamento te cobran la fianza entera aun habiendo dejado el apartamento en mejores condiciones de las que lo cogimos. No se lo recomendaría a nadie es una estafa. Y el trato es horrible.
Avoid at all cost! There no one at reception, and no one answers the phones.
Huono asiakaspalvelu, huoneistosta puuttui wc paperi, eikä sitä toimitettu meille koko majoituksemme aikana. huoneistossa rikkinäinen sänky, rikkinäinen ikkuna josta tuli koko ajan kylmää ilmaa sisään. Nyt on tammikuu. Wcn puhallus rikki. Yritetään vältellä vastuunottoa koko ajan. Välttäkää.
