Conscientious, helpful and responsive. A good company.
HR were extremely helpful, responsive and flexible. The apartment was very good and central and I feel confident the few small bits of feedback we've given about Apartment Beau Soleil, which were minor anyway, will be acted on. I'd certainly recommend them to deal with as a company. Thank you.

Poor customer service
Enquired about a large four bedroom villa in Spain for 5 people, two week stay. The villa had a pool.
Was told that only one normal size towel was available per person for the whole two weeks. If I wanted them to be changed I would have to pay.
So if you got out of the pool, you would have to walk dripping wet into the villa before you shower and wash your hair (with your one towel).
Avoid this company. Seem to use anything they can to get more money from you. No customer service.

Dear Elizabeth/Diane,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry that there was confusion during your enquiry. After reviewing the Airbnb conversation, we can see that our colleague informed you that two bath towels per guest are included. Unfortunately, the message did not mention that each guest also receives a separate pool towel, which is part of our standard provision. We apologise for that omission.
To clarify, our properties in Spain normally provide two bath towels and one pool towel per guest. Additional towel changes during the stay can be arranged for an extra fee, which is standard practice for many self-catering holiday rentals.
As this was an enquiry rather than a confirmed booking, we regret that the misunderstanding led to such a negative impression. We always aim to provide clear and accurate information and appreciate the opportunity to clarify this here.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team

The apartment had all that we needed and is very close to the Clotes lift.
The booking procedure is straight forward followed by useful information regarding the property and key collection.
The only thing that I would change is to change the given route from Oulx to the property to avoid driving through the center of town(limited access zone)as it is not necessary or quicker.
Besides that we had a great time

Happy rentals chamonix is extremely variable one apartment was lovely the other was dirty, mouldy and completely disparate from pictures provided. The ground team were useless and they refunded 100 euros when we refused to stay in the property and moved elsewhere due to concerns re safe habitation. They offered no help and no solutions.

Dear Tee,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that your experience with one of the apartments did not meet your expectations.
As you mentioned, your group booked two different apartments in the Résidence Le Cristal; Mont Blanc 5 and Mont Blanc 8, which are individually owned properties with different layouts, finishes and price levels. Mont Blanc 8, which was the higher-category apartment, is indeed larger and more recently renovated, while Mont Blanc 5 is a more basic unit.
That said, we take your comments about Mont Blanc 5 seriously. Our local team inspected the issue and, as discussed during your stay, we provided a refund for the inconvenience.
We also want to clarify that our team did respond on site and processed the refund once the issue was verified. Nevertheless, we are sorry that you felt unsupported, as this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide our guests.
Your feedback has been shared with the property owner so that improvements can be made.
We are glad that you enjoyed Mont Blanc 8, and we hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you again in one of our renovated apartments in the future.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team

Happy Rentals Chamonix France was a Very unaccommodating Property Management company. We were traveling 14 hours to get to France and our flight landed early. There was no way we could convince Happy Rentals to allow us to checkin early. Also had to go to a place a mile away to pickup the key which cost us an extra $40 US since we hired a driver. :(

Dear Monica,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that your arrival felt stressful after such a long journey. Winter season in Chamonix is an exceptionally busy period, and as clearly stated in the booking details, check-in begins at 4PM. During peak season, apartments are often occupied the night before (as was yours), and our housekeeping team requires the full turnaround time to prepare the property to the proper standard for incoming guests. For this reason, early check-in unfortunately cannot be guaranteed.
Regarding key collection, our office location (approximately 1 km from the apartment) is also clearly indicated prior to booking and in the arrival instructions. Many guests choose to walk or take a short taxi ride, depending on their luggage. We understand this may have been inconvenient with a private driver, but the key collection point is part of our standard and transparent check-in process.
We truly aim to provide clear information in advance so guests can plan their arrival accordingly, especially during the busy winter season in central Chamonix.
We do hope you still enjoyed your stay and your time in the French Alps.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team
Cozy and warm
The apartment was just right for our family of two adults and two kids. It was warm and cozy and it was really nice to go back at it after a snowy cold skiing day. The instructions were very clear. We found the place and the key very easy and we checked in withing 10 minutes from our arrival. The ideal stop for the transfer from Torino airport is on the parking lot in front of the church. The experience would has been even better if there was small dishwasher.

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that the apartment was a perfect fit for your family and that you found it warm and cozy after your ski days, there’s nothing better than coming back to a comfortable space after a cold, snowy day on the slopes.
We’re also pleased that you found the instructions clear and that the check-in process was smooth and quick. It’s great to know the transfer stop location worked well for you too — that detail will certainly be helpful for future guests.
Thank you as well for your constructive suggestion regarding a small dishwasher. We truly appreciate this kind of feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience. We will be sure to pass your comment along to the property owner for consideration.
We hope to welcome you and your family back again for another ski holiday soon.

The flat was amazing
The flat was amazing, clean and good view of the panorama. Advise is to put more towels if the stay is long and let the quest know that is no much toilet paper, dish liquid and tablets for the dishwasher so quests can buy before.
The experience was perfect for us.

Great little apartment. Housed a family of 5 for the week no problem. Lots of storage. Heating was great. Easily walkable to town centre. Just be careful the hot water is limited, and the power can trip if multiple appliances are on.

Stay away- they lie and lie and lie
Stay away: they lie and lie and lie, even in their reply here at Trustpilot, they lie. So do not trust them: we rented an apartment with aircondition, but they deliberately turned the power off for cost saving reasons, so we had the choice of either unpleasant 27 degrees in the bedroom at night or mosquitoes if we opened the windows. – both very unpleasant. Happy Rentals is located in Switzerland and decide if the temperature is for need of aircondition in Italy. We notified both Happy Rentals and the reception on the spot, the very first day to turn on power for the aircondition, but nothing happened, so finally we left. – Stay away !

Dear Jens,
We’re sorry you felt disappointed by your stay in Porlezza. During your visit in September, the air conditioning had already been switched off for the season, which is standard practice at the resort. At that time, outdoor temperatures were mild and the apartment could be comfortably cooled by opening the windows, which we explained.
There was no intention to mislead, and the situation was handled transparently on site. Your refund request was reviewed carefully and declined, including through the chargeback process.
We always aim to provide an honest description and a comfortable experience for our guests, and we regret that this did not meet your expectations.
Kind regards,

Ref 680035 Chalet Whitmore Argentiere…
Ref 680035 Chalet Whitmore Argentiere 26/12/2025 - 02/01/2026
We stayed at Chalet Whitmore (advertised for 6–7 people) over the New Year period. The chalet itself was well located and well presented internally.
However, there was a separate flat below the chalet (accommodating a further 2 or 4 guests), and both properties shared a single hot water tank (immersion heater). This meant that between 7 and potentially 11 guests were reliant on one system.
As a result, there was consistently insufficient hot water. Even with only five of us in the chalet, it was not possible for everyone to have a shower in the evening after skiing. It was clear that the hot water capacity was inadequate to service both the chalet and the flat simultaneously.

Dear Rebecca and Adrian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting both the positive aspects of Chalet Whitmore and the issue you experienced during your stay.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the hot water system during a busy New Year period. We understand how important it is to have reliable hot water after a day of skiing.
Once the issue was reported, it was investigated and resolved, and we provided a refund of €270 as compensation for the disruption experienced.
Thank you again for your comments, which help us improve our service, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better circumstances in the future.

We booked a 3 night stay in Croatia
We booked a 3 night stay in Croatia. Booking was confirmed and a large deposit taken. Out of the blue I received an email that the owners wanted to stay in the home when we had booked and informed us we would have to shift our stay by 2 nights. Our flights were already booked and this was not possible. As such, Happy Rentals left us with no accommodation for 3 nights of our 10 day trip. We are very fortunate that we have time to find an alternative. However, I would not trust them to honour their bookings in the future and would not use them again. I am shocked to see these sort of practices at an agent that is part of the Marriott group. Very poor. To add insult to injury - we had to arrange the cancellation and refund ourselves. Beware!

Dear Leigh,
We’re very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with this experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.
Your reservation was confirmed for 23–26 June. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen owner availability issue, we contacted you to explain the situation and offered an alternative stay from 24–27 June (a one-day shift), not two nights as stated. We fully understand that, due to pre-booked flights, this change of date was not suitable for your travel plans.
At that point, you advised us that, after discussing with your travel companions, you preferred to cancel the booking and receive a full refund so you could secure alternative accommodation for your original dates. As the reservation was made through Marriott’s platform, cancellations and refunds must be processed directly via Marriott, and we followed the correct procedure in line with their policies. A full refund was provided.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience this caused and acknowledge how frustrating it is when plans need to change unexpectedly. Situations like this are extremely rare, and the vast majority of our guests enjoy smooth, problem-free stays. We always aim to communicate promptly and offer fair solutions when unforeseen circumstances arise.
We wish you all the best for your travels and appreciate your feedback.
Kind regards,
Happy.Rentals Team
