Super good location
Super good location, close to both harbour, beach, restaurants and shops. Relevant equipment in the apartments. Modern apartment with all necessary facilities including washing machine and AC. Good services from Happy homes. Cleaning was ok, but could be improved, since we found spots that wasn’t cleaned well, and pans that needed an extra cleaning before use. When clearing out the garbage, we noticed too late how it was possible to sort and recycle waste. An in instruction and extra bins for storting waste in the apartment would be helpful to make ignorant foreigners sort better and controbute to preserve the environment. All in all we hade a very pleasant stay, and would gladly book with Happy Homes again!

Dear Jenny,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the excellent location and found the apartment well-equipped, modern, and comfortable. It’s also great to know our team at Happy Homes provided a level of service you were happy with.
We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding cleanliness and the kitchenware — we'll certainly review this with our cleaning team to ensure better consistency going forward.
You also raise an excellent point about waste sorting. We're currently working on improving our in-apartment instructions and providing clearer guidance (along with the necessary bins) to help guests recycle more easily and contribute to environmental sustainability. Your suggestion is both helpful and timely — thank you for that.
We're very happy to hear you had a pleasant stay overall and would gladly book with us again. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Warm regards,
Happy Rentals Team

Dear Stella,
Thank you for your lovely comments about Villa Oleandri — we’re so pleased you enjoyed the house, its perfect location, and the beautiful surroundings. We're also glad to hear our local representative was helpful and kind during your stay.
We were a bit surprised by your comment regarding Happy.Rentals, as we did our best to assist you from the moment you booked — including adding an extra night, answering your many questions about payment, arranging extra cleaning, and questions about both early check-in and late check-out requests. That said, we’re always looking to improve, and we appreciate your feedback.
We’re grateful for your recommendation and would be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Kind regards,

We have visited second time this apartment. If you looking for quite place with beautiful sea view this is definitely one of them. Most out of this apartment I was again looking is the clean swimming pool where I felt grateful and enjoyed pretty much every single evening. Breakfast and lunch we have always enjoyed at balcony terrace with the sew view. I certainly recommend this apartment .

Lovely location and Lodge…
Loved the location and the lodge the Happy Rentals team were also helpful and friendly …the lodge itself is in the perfect location right in the middle of everything, while the hot tub is brilliant to relax in at the end of a lovely days hike, the facilities at the lodge are also good with 3 beds, 2 toilets, a drying room and kitchen facilities
Just a couple of recommendations:
1. Lodge photos need to be updated as new lodges have sprung up around this one, which means some of its views have been affected,
2. Also the patio doors and one outside electric blind in the back bedroom need fixing…. None of this impacted us though so we didn’t make the happy rentals team aware of it or complain about it especially as there were notes on the patio doors advising repairs were in progress.
Would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay and we were really happy we picked it 😀👍🏻❤️

We’re delighted to hear you loved the location, enjoyed the lodge, and found our Happy Rentals team helpful and friendly — that’s exactly what we aim for. It’s great to know the hot tub, facilities, and layout made your stay even more relaxing after your hikes.
Thank you also for your helpful suggestions. You’re right — with the new lodges around, updating the photos is on our list, and we appreciate you pointing that out. The patio doors and blinds are already scheduled for repair, as noted, but we’re grateful for your understanding and patience during that process.
We’re so pleased you would recommend staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another great visit soon! 😀

A/C broken and they ignore my messages
I rented an apartment in Lugano. The A/C in my room was super loud, clearly broken. I asked them to fix it, they said they would send someone, but the problem persisted, I had to switch it off during the nights I stayed there with temperatures of around 25-28 degrees (crazy hot June 2025) and avoid the room during the day. They ignored my following messages on WhatsApp. The worst customer service.

Dear Hector,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not fully meet your expectations.
Regarding the air conditioning issue, we did send our maintenance team to inspect the unit after your initial report. They confirmed it was functioning, though we understand it may have been louder than expected.
We also apologize if you felt your follow-up messages were not addressed promptly — we always strive to assist our guests as quickly as possible, though response times can sometimes be delayed during peak periods.
We hope the medical conference went well and we wish you all the best.

Expérience déplorable – logement infesté et absence totale de professionnalisme / Terrible Experience – Infested Property and Zero Professionalism
Nous avions réservé dans un logement géré par Happy Rentals à NICE qui s’est avéré insalubre et infesté de cafards. Ce qui est encore plus inacceptable, c’est que la compagnie était déjà au courant de l’infestation, mais a tout de même permis notre check-in sans nous en informer.
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons immédiatement contacté la compagnie. Ils ont annulé la réservation sur-le-champ et nous ont promis un dédommagement, car nous avons dû, à la dernière minute, réserver un hôtel en urgence, ce qui a engendré des frais supplémentaires importants.
Malheureusement, aucune compensation ne nous a été versée. La compagnie nous a renvoyés vers Airbnb, tandis qu’Airbnb affirme que c’est à Happy Rentals de gérer le remboursement, car ce sont eux qui ont clôturé le dossier. J’ai envoyé un courriel, resté sans réponse à ce jour.
Je trouve cela profondément injuste et témoignant d’un manque flagrant de professionnalisme, tant de la part des hôtes que de l’équipe de gestion. Je déconseille fortement cette compagnie à quiconque souhaite un séjour serein et respectueux des standards de base.
**
We booked at a property managed by Happy Rentals in Nice only to find it unsanitary and infested with cockroaches. What’s worse is that the company was fully aware of the infestation prior to our arrival, yet still allowed us to check in without any warning.
We contacted the company immediately, and they canceled our reservation on the spot. They promised compensation, as we were forced to book a hotel at the last minute, which resulted in significant additional costs.
To this day, we have received no compensation whatsoever. The company told us to contact Airbnb, while Airbnb claims that Happy Rentals closed the case and is responsible for issuing the refund. I’ve sent follow-up emails, but have received no response.
This situation is completely unfair and shows a serious lack of professionalism from both the hosts and the Happy Rentals team. I strongly advise others to avoid booking with this company if you value cleanliness, honesty, and basic customer service.

Dear Kim,
We are truly sorry for the experience you had and understand your frustration.
We would like to clarify that your booking was made and paid for through Airbnb, which means all refunds and compensations are processed directly by them. The reservation was cancelled by Airbnb and we were charged a €215 cancellation fee in the process.
We can assure you that we took immediate action upon learning of the pest issue, which was an isolated case and has since been professionally treated.
We are sorry you feel let down, but we want to be clear that the refund process is entirely managed by Airbnb. We recommend continuing to follow up with their support team, as they hold the funds and control over reimbursements.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and wish you better travel experiences in the future.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team
Pool cloesed and tennis court a disappointment
They advertised pool and tennis court as the main feature - turned out that pool was closed at that time and tennis court was maybe a tennis court 20 years ago. They claimed that they informed the non availability of the pool under house rules but one can expect that this kind of information is shown somewhere where people actually read. Management and communication was poor. Sorry - can't be recommended.

Dear Felix,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that your expectations regarding the pool and tennis court were not met. However, we would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few important points.
The seasonal availability of the pool is clearly stated in the Airbnb listing under the house rules and additional information, which every guest is asked to review before confirming a booking on Airbnb. We understand that details can sometimes be overlooked, but we do encourage all guests to carefully read through all sections of the listing to avoid misunderstandings.
As for the tennis court, we do not advertise it as a professional facility, but as an additional outdoor feature of the property.
We always aim to offer responsive communication and support during our guests’ stay. We're sorry if you felt this was lacking.
Thank you again for your stay, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team

Puerta Del Mar Penthouse
Fantastic location of the property. Happy Rentals staff helpful and prompt when dealing with enquiries. One of their representatives (Anna) very kindly collected the apartment keys to save us the hassle of returning them on the way to the airport when leaving.
The whole process of booking the apartment was very straightforward.

Wonderful apartment; everything perfect.
Everything perfect.
We only had an issue with the shared pool: we did not find any instructions on HOW to get to the pool; there were only written warnings about how to use it.
After asking by WhatsApp, I was informed that the pool is located between the 1st and the 2nd floor: you have to take the stairs and get out of the building on half way. We now know it for next time...

We recently rented a house through Happy Rentals for a four-day stay in Fort dei marmi to celebrate my husband’s birthday with friends, and everything was absolutely perfect. From the beginning, the experience was seamless and professional. Happy Rentals is a serious and committed company, and their dedication to making sure everything went smoothly was evident in every detail.
The house was exactly as described — clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable — making our stay incredibly enjoyable. We felt supported and well taken care of throughout the entire process.
We are truly grateful for such a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to rent with them again. Highly recommended!
