We know how important it is for you to enter a clean and inviting space. If you arrive at your booked property and find it isn't as clean as expected, follow these steps to resolve the issue quickly.

Step 1: Document the Issue

Before contacting your host, gather information about the cleanliness concerns:

  • Write down specific details about what you've observed, including the location within the property and the type of issue
  • Note the time you discovered the problem

Step 2: Contact Your Host Directly

Reach out to your host as soon as possible, as they can often resolve cleaning issues quickly:

  • Find your host's contact information in your booking confirmation email or through the Holidu app
  • Describe the specific cleaning issues you've found in a calm and polite manner
  • Request a prompt resolution and agree on a timeframe if possible
  • Share the photos or videos you took as supporting evidence
