Booking process was good, all seems straightforward so far. But having issues contacting office though, need to make an enquiry and the chat system never seems to be working ?

Valades, villa in France
So after arriving at this property, it was quite dirty, thick black slime in the food waste bucket, drainer on the sink was black and mouldy and so was the material slip underneath it, NO pool lights were broken, spider webs everywhere, other peoples dirt water bottles underneath the beds, mop bucket was really smelly and very bad Internet… the villa itself is also quite run down, decking by the pool is quite dangerous. I also contracted a very bad bug from the villa which now public health environmental health are now involved. Please be aware, this is no exaggeration…
RIP OFF - £350 for heating for 1 week in the summer!!!
We booked a lovely house through Novasol in Denmark, great house, great location, and a warm week with temperatures regularly around 25 and up to 30 on some days.
Needless to say I was horrified when we received a bill for £370 for energy while we were at the property (And representing about 50% of the total cost of the stay), and even worse to discover that £350 of it was for heating (which we hadnt used the entire week)!! Now while we were expecting to pay for energy and may have expected a small amount of heating to cover the hot water, but that should have been tiny, maybe £20-30 at the most. We have been complaining to Novasol for over a month now but with little luck, so far all we have had is a £50 reduction and have established that the bill was not actually based on our consumption but instead an average. Either way beware and if you have already booked make sure you take photos of the meters at the beginning and end of your trip.

A great 10 day stay in Tecastagni
A great 10 day stay in Tecastagni, Sicily. The villa was superb, modern and catered all our needs. The swimming pool was the selling point into us booking the villa.Alfio the manager was very helpful and friendly, and resolved an issue with hot water asap. The location of the villa was ideal to visit Catania and Taormina and Etna, and other places. All in all an excellent holiday.

Titled “ 2 bedroom awesome home in Rubigny “
Price 2038.25 euros
We are requesting a refund for the following dangerous and unfair reasons:
We booked for 7 days and left after 2 days because:
Host said we must leave early.
Host kept on coming round invading our privacy while we was getting dressed.
Host kept on looking thru windows like perverts.
Host set up mirrors to look thru windows.
Unfair advertising reasons:
Area is remote and derelict rundown.
A car is necessary but is not listed on advert. We didn’t come to have a driving holiday. We come to have a relaxing time with our family.
Area is disgusting. It looks like a bomb site. I have also video proof of this. It is scary. There are no street lights anywhere.
Houses in the area are falling down and dangerously unsafe we was not made aware of this.
Closest shops are realistically far away for any child or human to be walking this is not a hiking holiday.
Bringing your own food is essential for survival reasons as there are no shops as mentioned this should also be mentioned on the advertising.
There was also an 80 euro cleaning charge that was not mentioned on any bookings.
Safety reasons:
Host added so much chlorine to pool on 2 occasions we had breathing problems.
Hosts as video proof we have shooting air rifles in garden next to our children in garden.
Host had lethal weapons in the garage we found an ax that anyone could’ve picked up and killed us with. I had to bring it in the house.
fireworks being thrown in the garden.
For these reasons we require a full refund. This email will be sent to all the relevant authorities that took our hard earned money and now we are left without a family holiday and the children are completely traumatised. From this experience. We will also be seeking compensation for other losses.
As we have not heard of you or from you like you have promised we will now start noting everything down and leave relevant reviews on the Internet so other tourists are aware of the properties your actions and the reasons we have listed
We are requesting a full refund back. This property is fully available after two days and we are waiting to hear from you as soon as possible.
Regards.
Unhappy family.
Terrible customer service
A property we rented specifically because it had two bathrooms which we needed as we were two couples and wanted privacy. The upstairs shower room was unusable due to the shower door not fitting tightly. We tried showering three times and the resulting flood was unacceptable. A clean up job each time! We reported it to the housekeeper who said several people had complained but the owner did nothing. On our return to the UK we emailed novasol and were told that we did not have a complaint as the shower was working. As far as novasol were concerned having to mop the floor was not a problem. Not good enough and VERY poor service.
Novasol has cornered the market for rental properties in France so it's difficult to find a company that offers such a wide choice but the customer service is abysmal.
