Dear ***,Thank you for raising your concerns to us through the Revdex.com and we are sorry to learn about your negative experience.We are able to see that on the 25th of October you sent a booking request for your next year reservation and, as you see from the owner’s messages, he had to decline it because the rates for were not up to dateSince your request did not go through, we did not charge you any money and we cancelled the pre-authorisation on your card.Please kindly note that since we do not own the vacation rentals on our website, we are not responsible for the listings accuracy; however, we can assure you that we do provide several tools that allow all our owners to update their advertising information as easily as possible.Following your first call, we requested the owner to update his prices and we advised him to consider offering you the rental for the original price under which you sent the booking request.Unfortunately, the renter due to the significant price difference informed us that he could not offer you the accommodation for that price but agreed to send you a new quote with the correct rental rate.Within the hours after your booking request rejection, we called you and emailed four times to assist you in the booking process and if needed, to help you find a different accommodation but unfortunately, we did not receive a response from you.We confirm you that the rental you were interested is still available and if you need any help with the booking process or if you wish to book a different property, we would be more than happy to provide you further assistance.In our previous email, you will be able to find our reservation team number who can address any concerns you may have about our vacation rentals listings.Kindest regards,The Customer Relations Department

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolvedThat said, I do object to the claim, made in the response, that I CHOSE to cancel the reservationI was instructed to cancel and followed that instruction They then ignored my requests for full refund until after I filed the complaint with the Revdex.com Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] FlipKey is stating I need to list ALL of my properties that I manageHowever, they need to be aware that I only have a subset number of properties/units that I actively rentMy "resort directory" on my website ( [redacted] ) shows a great deal more properties than I actually rent outIf FlipKey is stating that I need to list multiple unit sizes of my currently listed properties (example: one bedroom suite, one bedroom deluxe, two bedroom deluxe, etcat [redacted] , listing # [redacted] ) and those extra listings can be done free, then this is doableAs FlipKey can see by my actual inventory ( [redacted] ), I do in fact list all properties I actively rent already with themI am very frustrated that it took complaining to the Revdex.com to even get a response to my messageNo one from FlipKey responded to my numerous messages I sent to them over the last two monthsEven the response sent is not clear and the terms are quite vague.If FlipKey is stating I must list ALL properties/unit sizes with them (which would literally take weeks for me to even load, as my website's directory shows ALL [redacted] and [redacted] resorts), then this is absurd and unacceptable since I do not actively rent all of those propertiesSo if that is the case, I request a refund of my annual subscription fees since that's impossible for me to do and it would be a huge waste of my time to list properties I don't even actively rent.Regards, [redacted] ***

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] A number of points raised in the response to our complaint are incorrect and I wish to clarify them here "We informed you prior to the booking that [redacted] currently does not operate with bank accounts in Barbados and, that you would need to link the [redacted] account to an account, in a [redacted] supported country." In fact, we were not informed prior to the booking that [redacted] does not operate with bank accounts in Barbados and that we would need to link the [redacted] account to an account in a [redacted] supported countryWe were told prior to the booking that we would have to go "offline" to accept a manual transferWe advised Flipkey/ [redacted] representatives on numerous occasions that we were unable to have a [redacted] account due to the fact that we are not US citizens and are unable to have a US bank accountWe have a Canadian bank account and Flipkey/ [redacted] will not accept that either "We have reviewed the case and I can confirm that all your concerns were addressed from the start of the case and, we also responded in a timely manner." The above statement is also less than truthfulWe sent an email on March 7, to your representative, [redacted] , with a number of questions, to which we are still awaiting responseWe followed up with Ms [redacted] later that same day expressing concern over this matter and that email also remains unanswered"As previously advised, manual transfers and especially international bank transfers can take up to working days for the amount to successfully appear in your bank account." I am not sure why it would take up to working day (calendar weeks) to effect a transfer that is merely pushing buttonsFunds sent to Flipkey/ [redacted] are accepted instantlyGuests are not required to wait weeks to have their booking with Flipkey/ [redacted] confirmed Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] Please add your rejection comments below.I disagree with the response because our complaint was much more than cleanliness problems It was safety becuase of it having bugs, in a bad ( project like ) area, no properly working airconditioning when it was degrees outside and it felt like the air conditioner was not working The owner only spoke spanish when we called and did not offer to have anyone come fix the airconditioning or get rid of the bugs, black mold and other issues that made it unsafe ! I sent them pictures of the black mold in the bath tub and how the handle was broken off the shower so we would not be able to trun on the water to taker a shower Flipkey just ignores all our safety complaints and said it was just cleanliness when it was much more...how awful that we would have to stay there and not be able to take a shwoer all week! I noticed they removed the rental now from the Flipkey rentals available It was fraud because it did not have what it was told it had such as working aironditioning and the cockroaches are unacceptable....not just a cleaning issue I feel we should have called the police and made a report and also reported it to the health department We thought since we left and reported this we would get our money back but since we did not get anything back we are very upset and will never trust Flipkey again to ever rent from them or trip advisor again It was fraud and they stole our money $ I can try to attach our pictures we took pf the broken shower handle and the black mold, stains on carpet, talbe leg ready to fall off the table, dirty sink with dishes and cockroaches, dirty refridgerator with bags of diffe Regards, [redacted]
