Jasmine - That pains us to hear. Please accept our apologies as we truly pride ourselves on our great customer service. Our care team is located in Austin TX and personally handles ALL Savvy customer service. We don’t outsource overseas or to a third-party, or use Ai to respond. Sounds like there was something atypical that happened. So sorry. I hope you’ll give us another chance to save you hundreds on your next vacation.

Original Company Response: Thank you for your feedback and we’re truly sorry if your experience fell short of expectations. We’d appreciate the chance to learn more and make things right, so please reach out to us at support@savvy.com and our team will be happy to help.

This was the worst experience!

This was the worst! Before booking the host wanted all kinds of information. After I booked they wanted a copy of my license, why i was going to be on DC. It was a bit sketchy. Then the day I was supposed to check in I get an email saying they can't accommodate me! Hours before I land in DC i had no housing. They gave no recommendations. It was the worst experience ever!!!

Hi Linda - So sorry to hear about this unprofessional experience with one of the hosts on our platform. Going forward, rest assured that any host treating guests this way will find themselves no longer on the platform.

Original Company Reply: We’re so sorry to hear about your experience, that’s absolutely not the standard we expect from any of our hosts. If your booking was confirmed, you should never have been left without accommodations and we completely understand how stressful that must have been.

We’ll be reaching out to you directly by email to gather a few more details so we can investigate what happened with this host and ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’ll also be contacting the host right away to review how your reservation was handled.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this caused.

Search engine doesn’t filter for pets…

I filtered for pet friendly rentals only, booked a place and then was told it’s not pet friendly. I lost out on 2 places on another site thinking I had a place booked and then was forced to cancel.

We’re really sorry this happened and know how frustrating it must’ve been, especially when traveling with pets.

We’ll be reaching out to learn more about what went wrong so we can get it sorted with the host and make sure listings are clearer going forward. Thank you so much for making us aware of this as it helps us improve for you and other travelers.

Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry for any confusion! Savvy connects travelers directly with hosts, so questions about on-site matters like construction can only be confirmed by the host which is why we referred you to them. Since we didn’t hear back after our reply, we assumed you were able to connect with them directly. In the future, if a host doesn’t respond, our team is always happy to step in and follow up so you’re not left without an answer. We appreciate you sharing this experience and will continue working to make that clearer for our travelers. Thank you again!
