The overall stay was very good. A good property, great location, clean. Overall, to expectation except for the fact it had no wifi which feels a bit cheap. First time I’ve stayed in a Stayz with no wifi. Hotspotting data to watch movies is expensive.
My biggest feedback though is that too much focus was put on reiterating - numerous times - the need to be quite/considerate of neighbours, no parties etc. We were 3 x 50+ dads on a fishing weekend. We get it. But it just kept coming via email, text etc outlining government fines etc. I’d actually mentioned it to my friends and then a text came through reiterating it again. Also that a mandatory check in was required on Saturday morning.
It certainly needs to be communicated well but not so often, and not in the tone of the fun police. Keep all the rules but target any extra comms based on age etc.
And requiring extra guests over & above the booked number to be approved - using the “ if it’s mum & Dad coming for a BBQ it’s likely we’ll approve it”. Really? If it’s proper use of the property in line with no parties etc, then that shouldnt be required. As said, it felt OTT and too much policing of unnecessary rules.
We had 3 staying in a property that slept 6 and required approval for a 4th person to stay? Really?
And I wasn’t a fan of being forced to disclose phone numbers of my fellow guests. I had no permission to do so but was forced to. Again , first time and it felt over-efficious. Please delete this data.
