Vacation rentals websites that advertise holiday rentals do not verify the accuracy of the information provided, whereas vacation rentals agencies working for owners, do verify.

 

Booking directly from an owner has advantages that are explained in this article (Vacation Rentals by owners)   One of the advantages of booking from a manager/agency is that the holiday rentals property is being managed and verified by a professional agency that will make sure that the information published is accurate and that the vacation rentals property is well maintained.

Professionally managed holiday rentals provide indisputable tranquility.  Owners that advertise their vacation rentals property are generally of good faith though they may not meet the same standards as a holiday rentals agency or be that well prepared to perform the duties that are requested by demanding renters. 

Websites do provide guidelines. For example, what can renters do in case of problems with vacation rentals?
 
•    Negotiate
•    A lawsuit
•    Contact the institution that regulates holiday rentals in the area
•    Work with online websites that protect their clients
•    If applicable, post bad reviews on the website from which you rented your property
•    Contact the website where the property was posted
•    Post negative reviews on Trip Advisor and similar review websites
•    File a dispute with credit card companies
