Extremely Disappointing Experience — Avoid This Property
I booked this accommodation for both the first and last nights of my trip to Tasmania, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Upon arrival, the property was in an unacceptable state: unclean and unhygienic to the point where I felt uncomfortable staying even one night. Based on the condition, I decided to cancel the final night.Unfortunately, the host refused to process the cancellation within the valid timeframe and instead deflected all responsibility onto VRBO. To make matters worse, an unexpected extra payment was charged without notice, and the host refused to refund it despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue. I'm currently in dispute trying to recover the money.Throughout my interactions, the host was rude and dismissive, speaking over me and offering no constructive solutions. I strongly recommend avoiding this property — it caused unnecessary stress and wasted time during what should have been a memorable trip.

I’m truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, and I want to sincerely apologize for any discomfort or frustration you felt during your stay. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable and clean environment for our guests, and I regret that we did not meet those expectations during your visit.
Regarding the cleanliness issue, we take it very seriously, and I assure you that this is not the standard we aim to uphold. We’ll review our cleaning procedures to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. I also apologize for any confusion around the cancellation process and the unexpected charge; we will work to address this issue with VRBO and ensure clearer communication moving forward.
I’m genuinely sorry that your experience didn’t reflect the kind of stay we strive to provide. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it helps us improve for future guests. I hope that despite this experience, you were still able to enjoy the beautiful parts of Tasmania.
