Owners Direct finally posted the review!

After weeks of trying to get my review accepted at the Owners Direct website, the notice came today it is now live. The interesting part was, in my opinion it seemed they wanted to get a few "good" reviews posted before mine was accepted.

 There were absolutely no reviews last year when we were booking the house and suddenly, I submit a review and two more above me take place! Makes you wonder about the process compared to Trip Advisor which is a site I use on a regular basis writing reviews when I travel.

 At Trip Advisor there is never a delay and we can upload photos. I will keep this process in mind when booking holiday homes in the future.

Posting a Review at Owners Direct

On September 4th I submitted a review about the house in Ballymoney Ireland and this is a copy of the email they sent. (see below)  Funny thing is, no reviews were ever posted on the site and POOF suddenly two raving, 5 star reviews have been posted!  Seriously?

I have contacted Owners Direct to alert them that the 7 days had passed for my "pending" review with no word from them so now we will see how they respond. I will keep you posted!
