Booking a vacation rental offers flexibility, space, and comfort — but just like with any travel experience, occasional hiccups can happen. The good news?
With the right mindset and a few simple steps, most issues can be solved quickly and stress-free.
Here’s how to handle common vacation rental issues smoothly, so you can stay focused on enjoying your trip.
1. The Property Doesn’t Match the Listing
Problem: You arrive and something seems off — maybe a missing amenity or a detail that doesn’t match the description.
How to Handle It:
-
Stay calm and document the issue (photos help).
-
Contact your host immediately with a clear, polite message.
-
Give the host a chance to resolve it quickly — most reputable hosts (like Ero Rentals) will correct any discrepancies or offer solutions.
Tip: Booking with trusted companies that offer direct guest support drastically reduces the chance of surprises.
2. Minor Maintenance Issues
Problem: A lightbulb is out, the Wi-Fi isn’t connecting, or the air conditioner isn’t working properly.
How to Handle It:
-
Check the guest manual for troubleshooting tips (often it’s a simple fix).
-
Report the issue as soon as possible to the property manager or host.
-
Allow reasonable time for repairs. Most hosts appreciate early notice and will prioritize your comfort.
3. Noise or Neighbor Problems
Problem: Loud neighbors, unexpected construction, or other disturbances affect your peace.
How to Handle It:
-
Politely check if it’s a one-time event (like a party) or ongoing.
-
Notify your host so they can mediate if needed.
-
If possible, use white noise apps, earplugs, or move activities indoors during louder periods.
Tip: Choosing rentals in quiet, residential neighborhoods — like many Ero Rentals properties — helps avoid this issue altogether.
4. Internet Connectivity Issues
Problem: Slow or unreliable Wi-Fi can be frustrating, especially for remote workers or families streaming entertainment.
How to Handle It:
-
Restart the modem/router (instructions are often in the welcome guide).
-
Move closer to the router for a stronger signal.
-
Contact your host for support — they might have backup solutions or arrange service quickly.
5. Difficulty with Check-In or Entry
Problem: Trouble with a lockbox, smart lock code, or unclear check-in instructions.
How to Handle It:
-
Double-check the instructions sent before arrival.
-
If the problem persists, immediately call or text your host.
-
Many professional hosts offer 24/7 guest support to solve access issues quickly — something Ero Rentals ensures for all stays.
6. Cleanliness Concerns
Problem: You walk in and the rental doesn't feel as clean as expected.
How to Handle It:
-
Take photos and notify the host right away.
-
Allow the host a chance to send a cleaning team or resolve the issue.
-
Professional vacation rental companies pride themselves on spotless properties — and take immediate action to maintain that standard.
