Dear June,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to learn that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the décor, we appreciate your comments. Holiday homes inevitably experience wear and tear during the season, and we continually carry out maintenance and improvements to ensure they remain in good condition. Your observations have been noted and will be considered as part of our ongoing maintenance programme.
Regarding the kitchen cupboard hinge, our maintenance team attended promptly after it was reported. We regret that the issue has reoccurred and it will be repaired properly before the next guests arrive.
We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the gas running out. The property is normally equipped with two gas bottles, one in use and one full spare. We can only assume that previous guests replaced the empty bottle with spare without informing us, leaving the property with no reserve bottle. Unfortunately, this meant we were unaware of the situation until it was reported. We did everything possible to resolve the issue as quickly as we could, but as it occurred over the weekend, our gas supplier was closed, which delayed the replacement. We fully appreciate that being without hot water and cooking facilities for two days was frustrating. We will review whether additional measures, such as installing an automatic changeover system, would be beneficial for this property.
Finally, while we are disappointed that you did not feel the property represented good value, the rental price reflected the property's size, location, facilities, and the seasonal market rate at the time of booking.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can continue to improve.
With our kindest regards,
The Vilamoura-Villas team
