More Top Tips when Holiday Home Exchanging

Before going make sure you check all your paper work – many of the problems you might encounter while away can be resolved by spending 20 minutes a few days before departure checking everything is as you want.  Things to look out for include who to contact on arrival, do you have maps, can you understand the directions, has everything you may have requested by confirmed?.

Take all the telephone numbers with you for the management company etc and bring the holiday confirmation and directions with you.

If you have changed your own numbers or will have a different telephone number whilst away let your Holiday home exchange partner know.

Take your own pool towels just in case as sometimes these are not supplied.

Pool heating is usually an additional extra when renting a villa. Have you asked for pool heating to be provided? If so has this been confirmed?  If you have not requested or confirmed pool heating then you can have not have any comeback if you do not have it on arrival. 

If possible book a car to allow you more freedom to explore the resort and surrounding areas.

A food pack on arrival will also help you to settle in particularly if you are arriving late at night.  You can then relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine rather than having to find a supermarket etc.  Many of our owners will have management companies happy to provide this service for a small fee.

If you have a complaint about a holiday home property, let the property owner, or their management company , know as soon as possible as they will do all they can to help.  This will ensure that they are given every opportunity to put things right for you whilst you are still on holiday.
