Onsite issues and resolutions: what to do?
Booking & ReservationsWe know how disappointing it is when something at your lodging isn't quite right. Whether amenities are missing, the space isn't as clean as expected, or something doesn't match the listing, we're here to help you resolve the issue quickly so you can get back to enjoying your trip.
If you encounter an issue on-site
Step 1: Document the problem
Before reaching out, take clear photos or videos of the issue. This helps us understand the situation and work toward a faster resolution. Focus on:
- Specific amenities that are missing or not working
- Cleanliness concerns
- Safety issues
- Anything that doesn't match the listing description
Step 2: Contact the host first
Many issues can be resolved quickly when you communicate directly with your host. They may be able to:
- Provide missing amenities or arrange replacements
- Send someone to address cleanliness or maintenance concerns
- Offer alternative solutions like a different unit or partial refund
Reach out through the OutReserve messaging system so there's a record of your communication.
Step 3: Contact OutReserve Support if needed

When you contact us, include:
- Photos or videos documenting the issue

What happens next
