Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept 2025
Hi Jess I's sorry that your weekend was spoilt. I still cant work out how Vrbo were able to book our property out even though it was closed on our booking system. We fully refunded you all the money. We received monies from Vrbo but less their commission so were suitably out of pocket. We also worked hard to accommodate you on our glamping site which I had understood you were really thrilled with. In talking with your partner I had understood we had turned an bad situation around and that you would want to return thus I am surprised about the 1 star but I do understand that we didn't deliver what you had booked. I hope we see you again in the future. All the best Chris
