How can I get support with an on-site emergency?
Unexpected issues can arise during a guest's stay. Knowing how to handle them effectively—and when to reach out for help—ensures guest satisfaction and protects your property. Holidu's support team is available 7 days a week to assist with emergencies.
If you're on-site
Take immediate action to resolve the issue:
- Stay calm and maintain a helpful, approachable attitude
- Address the problem quickly to minimize disruption to the guest's stay
- Attempt simple solutions first—for instance, explaining how appliances work can often resolve misunderstandings
- If something is genuinely broken and affects the guest experience, fix it right away
If you're not on-site
Arrange for someone to support your guests on your behalf. This ensures issues are addressed promptly, even when you cannot be there in person.
Handling urgent issues
Health and safety concerns
Serious issues like mold, broken appliances, or gas leaks require immediate attention. Acting quickly helps:
- Protect guest wellbeing
- Prevent potential refund claims
- Maintain positive guest reviews
House rules violations
If a guest breaks house rules (such as hosting an unauthorized party), follow this approach:
- Politely remind the guest of your house rules
- Request immediate compliance
- Use clear, calm communication to resolve the issue
If the behavior continues or escalates, contact our support team. A team member will communicate with the guest on your behalf.
Illegal activity or serious violations
Your safety comes first. If you suspect illegal activity:
- Contact local authorities immediately
- Notify the relevant booking channel afterward
