“Costumer Service Department is very helpful”

Written on: 17/02/2013

Professional service with a lot of offers. Recommended as a business partner. They took care of me when I was struggling and helped a lot. If something is wrong, the Costumer Service Department is very helpful. The main thing is to talk to them, rather than to blame. (read more)

“My experience of Pure Holiday Homes”

Written on: 07/01/2013 by mikeygit (1 review written)

As a home owner I was approached by phone last year 2012 June time--and unfortunately was pursaded to take their offer. I have had ONE, very dubious , enquiry. I have been in touch constantly in 2012 about their service. Told they had problems and been bought by another company and were undergoing a 'restructuring process' and they had cut back on advertising as it was expensive etc. I was offered one month extra FREE advertising, but agreed on an extra 2 Months as it came out that the non...

“DONT BE RIPPED OFF BY PURE HOLIDAY HOMES”

Written on: 29/11/2012

I was called and persuaded to have a trial to advertise our Corfu House, very cheap for the trial period. I had no enquires and was horrified to find that they have taken a full years fee without my knowledge. The invoice clearly states that If I decide to continue I will be charged. I took no action because I believed they had to contact me to discuss my continuation. As I had no enquires I would not have renewed. I have asked for a refund and will report back. In the meantime be carefull... (read more)

“Home from home”

Written on: 20/11/2012 by Tina56 (1 review written)

There were no complaints with our holiday home. From the minute we arrived, we felt like we belonged. Our home was spotless and everything we needed was there. Leaflets about local attractions greeted us and all of the attractions were close to us. Outside our home was spotless with lovely walking paths which were well maintained as was all if the outside features. I would, and have recommended Pure Holiday Homes to many people who have since visited and I know you will too. A pure... (read more)

“Worst fee charging Holiday Rental Site we have come across”

Written on: 18/11/2012

My partner was talked into advertising with them by their telephone sales team, and I wish we hadn't. Ever since their alleged update in June our advert has been riddled with errors of which when eventually resolved are replaced with new errors. Their representative just keeps the spin going and doesn't sort the problems out. Enquiries are minimal to not existent and we have received the Nigerian scam email twice!!!!!!! Avoid = Avoid = Avoid = Avoid (read more)

“Well worth it”

Written on: 16/11/2012

I had a trial for 100 days (only a £1). From the 5 enquiries I got(2 were timewasters) I did get a booking and felt it was worth the chance and staying with them. I have had 1 more booking since and am really pleased, it has been well worth it so far. I am always dubious about new companies and their promises but I am really hopeful that the good start carries on. (read more)

“Bookings from Pure Holidays PR ”

Written on: 08/11/2012 by GaskHouseFarmCottages (1 review written)

Matthew at Pure contacted us at Gask House Farm Cottages about a journalist visit and competition offer. We have had a 30% increase in website views and 3 direct bookings so far from the article. We are really pleased with the results which has provided a great return for giving away a couple of off peak weeks. (read more)

“pure waste of money - avoid”

Written on: 29/10/2012

We advertised our holiday cottage with pureholidayhomes, even paid because the site looked OK. After about 3 months I asked why we hadn't received any enquiries via them, and they really fobbed me off. In a full year, we have had 2 people contact us via their website, one for a week that was already booked, and the second 'enquiry' was from another cottage owner who wanted to know what our experience was, and whether it was worth advertising with them or not. I told them not to bother. PHH... (read more)

“untrustworthy company don't use”

Written on: 16/10/2012

This is not a site I will recommend. I was contacted June this year and they persuaded me to take a trial period of 4 months. I normally use "Holiday rental Home". I accepted on the condition that there were no obligation to renew. I haven't had one request through that site. In spite of telling me "no obligations to renew" they renewed automatically after 3 months and when I contacted them they told me that was normal procedure. This was written in the letter below the contract stating... (read more)

“Homely and warm”

Written on: 12/09/2012 by Mabhedla

First and foremost, i felt at home away from my comfort zone, the warm and hospitality is out of this world, never thought that outing would turn out to be an unforgettable experience, something that i will always cherish for the rest of my life. Last but not least, going on holiday has become something that i will consider on an annual basis, and i would not mind visiting the Pure Holiday Homes again and again. (read more)

“Be warned! Do not have any dealings with this company!”

Written on: 05/09/2012 by kernowgraham (1 review written)

I was recently approached by this company by phone and they wanted to market our holiday cottage which is advertised on another site. They made claims that our current company do not market their properties actively in the low season. An assertion that I challenged but the point was just repeated without explaining why this view was held. I agreed to let the caller send me some further information via e-mail and I was offered a special introductory offer of a £1 fee for 100 days ie a... (read more)

“BEWARE OF DISHONEST SALES TACTICS”

Written on: 20/08/2012

I booked an advert 18 months ago and was offered a money back guarantee if the advert was not successful. The advert did not bring any business whatsoever. At the end of advertisement period, they made me wait for 6 weeks where they tried tirelessly to get me to book another 15 months of adverts. At the end of the 6 week period they refused to give back the money. I am now pursuing them through Trading Standards. Beware of dishonest sales tactics with this company. (read more)

“Easy to use - no problems”

Written on: 14/08/2012

I recently used pureholidayhomes.com to book a villa in Mallorca. I found the whole process really easy, I enquired about a few properties and heard back from them in good time. I found one which we really liked and was within our budget and it even had a private pool! I was apprehensive having never booked a privately owned holiday villa before but when we got there it was perfect and couldn't have been anymore relaxing. I will definitely book our next holiday with pureholidayhomes! (read more)

“Wonderful Service, No complaints.”

Written on: 20/07/2012

Fantastic Site. Was pleasantly suprised how easy it was to use as often these websites are overcomplicated and have great deals but strings attached. I can honestly say no strings attached. Found a lovely property within our budget by sending out a few email enquiries. I used the multiple property option which saved me an awful lot of time, I must say. The owner got in contact quickly and I have just come back from a very relaxing week in paradise. I suppose my only comment would be that... (read more)

“techincally incompetent”

Written on: 16/07/2012

Technically terrible. At times I can't even login as an owner even just to update the calendar. No enquiries compared to up to 70 in a month from other sites. I have reported several errors and none have been corrected. Sales people palm you off with promises that don't happen. Useless, waste of money and very unprofessional. (read more)

“Avoid this website like the plague! It's a scam. ”

Written on: 02/07/2012 by SueGriffithsSavelli (1 review written)

I started advertising my 3 properties in France with Pure in May of this year. For the first 4 months I experienced a number of technical problems with my ads (for example: wrong price information down-loaded by the Pure team, "unlimited late deals and special offers" discontinued) and when I tried to get these sorted out by e-mail and phone I encountered appalling customer service follow-up. In the last month the customer service has markedly improved, although the performance of my... (read more)

“Save your Money”

Written on: 22/03/2012 by TempGuest

Have listed several properties with them for over a year, after being 'target' by their pushy phone sales people. Only received a couple of spam enquiries. Not even a reply let alone a booking! Do not waste your advertising budget with them. Terrible. (read more)

“Poor”

Written on: 15/03/2012

This is mainly intended for cottage owners. When writing this review, I tried to give Pureholidayhomes 0 stars but the review site insisted that I should give them 1, so please read this as 0 stars. This is a genuine review, written by one of their advertising customers. Pureholidayhomes telephoned and talked me into advertising my holiday cottage with them. After 4 months my cottage is very well booked, even in cash-strapped 2012, but not a single booking has come from them, PHH, not even... (read more)

I have been advertising my home with pure for over a year and whilst in the first few months it was very slow they seem to have really turned up the advertising spending and now I am getting a steady return on my investment. I am getting increasingly imp[ressed with their performance. well worth their modest fee. (read more)

Written on: 21/12/2010

Wonderfully easy site to use, you can search for exactly what you're after, and then there are lots of price options.

The only issue I had was some of the people took a while to respond.

You can search for a holiday home based on location and the facilities you want to have. I found a really nice holiday villa in menorca. I got a really good deal and stayed in a three bedroom villa for 6, but there were just two of us! We also had our own pool, but it was too cold to use it. (read more)
