Had to cancel a weekend trip due to Covid 19. Even with 32 day advance notice & the state regulation to stay home, they refuse to return deposit. Charged me $161 & when I ask for full refund, am smugly referred to their cancellation policy. I have not received any explanation as to why the amount is so much. Other management companies in the area are overlooking these policies & refunding in full. Terrible company. I have made it very clear to them that I am not interested in doing business with them in the future & they should refund the $161in full. They continue to repeat that they are keeping it for future use. How gone deaf are they?

NEVER BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY THEY WILL NOT REFUND YOUR TOTAL AMOUNT EVEN IN A GLOBE PANDEMIC. VRBO WILL REFUND ALL

I ONLY gave this business a one star because I had to choose an option. We had booked a home for spring break next week. However with this COVID-19 epidemic, we were having to cancel our trip as we are coming from Idaho. We have multiple small children, one immunocompromised. We have our grandmother, WITH BRAIN CANCER who is clearly immunocompromised and due to myself, working in health care my office is requiring a 14 day leave once I return from traveling out of the state to ensure the safety of our patients and staff members. We contacted Meredith lodging, in hopes to get. refund for now as this is a world wide crisis. People are being quarantined in some cities, there has been a state of emergency placed for the entire US. Yet Meredith lodging is REFUSING to refund us. We asked to move the date, they said they would leave it as a credit and the difference in price from spring break this year, to next year is almost 4,000 dollars more. This is absolutely unacceptable. It is unsafe for people to travel yet you are going to keep my families $3800 dollars in this state of emergency! This is the absolute WORST experience, worst customer service and worst humans. We will never book with this company again, I will ensure our horrific experience with this company will be posted all over my social media, all over google, yelp, better business bureau. Do not book with them. Had we booked with another another company, we would have been refunded due to the COVID-19 crisis. ** Reply to response. You HAVE NOT attempted in the slightest to help us out as a customer. We tried to book at a later date yet it was almost double the price. We have two high risk family members. Why would be pay double the price for a later date? The booking was under Debbie or Deborah Harris. You have refunded another customer who is also from Nampa Idaho like we are, we have her messages. Then Oregon governor called a state crisis and vacations were being cancelled and people who booked were refunded. So why do you guys think it is ethical and appropriate to keep over $3800.00? Especially during this panademic. IF you ask me, it shows what terrible management you guys have and lack of ethics that follow closely behind. It is really terrible to see how many people have had the exact same experience, you would think putting your customers first would be in your best interest but obviously not. Horrible reviews are on nearly every website I have found about your business.... I wouldnt call that a success. I highly recommend doing the right thing, these people (including myself) refuse to let this terrible service go un noticed.

I had to select a star but of I could I would give them NOTHING.This company has been awful to deal with. They think that offering you a credit to stay within the year of 2020 is enough. Well it's not. They arent even offering credit to stay the same time of the following year. It's not just big companies that are loosing money. It's people like my family. That are self employed and dont have unemployment insurance and due to this COVID19 have to shut down. We need extra money to pay our mortgage now. More than the people who own million dollar homes on the beach as rental properties. Meridith Lodging is not doing their part to help society with this epidemic. I WILL NEVER use them again after this.

My husband and I planned a vacation to take our children and grandchildren to Lincoln city. We are from multiple states and grandson is a wheel chair user. We found a perfect house, one level and with a dock since it’s much more handicap accessible then most. I called a week before we arrived and looked like we would even be able to do an early check in. With in a few blocks arriving to the house I received a phone call that they have to fumigate for fleas and we have 3 options, cancel trip and reschedule, find a place to stay on my own or they would put us in another house for 2 nights and then go to another house for 2 nights. Mind you now check out is 11 and checkin is at 5. Not only was both the other houses they put us in was very inadequate for a wheel chair user (1 of them had 3 flights of stairs, the other 2 flights of stairs, but now we had to pack up everyone and our dogs and find something to do for 6 hours in between. I am very disappointed with the lack of concern from Meredith. We will not ever use them again. When I explained that this won’t work I was told I can find something else on my own then. We really couldn’t just turn around and go home since everyone has already arrived.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! NEVER RENT FROM MEREDITH LODGING! The house we stayed at in Lincoln City was not only a complete disappointment, but full of safety hazards. There were water leaks among other things. This house was very expensive and a beachfront property. We were told they would call us back on two different occasions because we wanted to switch houses, if possible. They didn't call us back either time and finally, after our trip was complete, they contacted us. They asked for a list of issues with the home and said they would compensate us. After emailing back and forth they, without asking if it was sufficient, gave us a small refund and an even smaller credit for a future stay that was even less. The refund was much less than even one nights stay. After telling them this was nowhere near enough, we received no response. This is the list of problems I sent to Meredith Lodging: 1. There is a lack of window screens including upstairs windows. This is a huge safety hazard and was a constant worry with two small children in the house. 2. The driveway has a large dip in it with no marking to indicate there is a tripping hazard. Literally everyone in our group almost tripped on it even after we knew it was there. Some paint would be all you need to at least make it noticeable. 3. There were no window coverings on the entire west side of the home. Pictures on the site showed that there were. We actually had to tape sheets up to block the sun later in the day so it wasn't both very hot and blinding to be in the main living area of the home. 4. There was a loose banister in the NW room upstairs in the house. Another safety concern. 5.Drawers in kitchen open in front of each other. One of the drawer pull knobs was cut off to make clearance for another drawer. 6.There is Duct tape in two of the showers where a handle or something used to be. This is an unbelievable "fix" from any standpoint. It shows a very serious lack of care for the maintenance of the home. Water damage can be very serious and expensive. Not to mention a health hazard to people paying to stay in a home. 7. The first floor has a bathroom which is blocked by the entry door while open, has about an inch and a half step in the middle of it that is very well disguised and a constant tripping hazard in a room that can easily have a wet floor. I don't even know what to say about that. Also, in the same bathroom, any person over 5 ft who would be standing to use the toilet would hit there head on the slanted ceiling if you don't stand further away or lean back while using it. 8. There is another door to the deck that would block the door to the NW bedroom upstairs while its open. The only way to ensure the upstairs stays cool during the day is to block this door and it is right at the top of the stairs also. 9. There is a lack of cabinets in the Kitchen area which is not the uncommon, but it is uncommon for two sets of cabinets and drawers to open into the back of a couch that is only useful if it blocks these cabinets. 10. One of the downstairs bedrooms has a door that will not close. 11. A different bedroom downstairs has no closet. That really makes it not a bedroom. 12. There are smoke detectors missing in many locations throughout the home including inside bedrooms. That is a huge safety concern. 13. There were many electrical outlets that either don't work at all or intermittently work. This is a huge red flag for electrical issues that are on the long list of safety concerns. 14 The first thing you notice when you walk in is the rotten hole in the lower end of the wall as you walk inside. DO NOT rent from Meredith lodging EVER.

We stayed in Bend from 5/20-5/23/19. We left some clothing there. We were called the next day to let us know we left these items and that they would be glad to return them. They sent us a link since they use an outside company to manage lost items??? Not sure why. I filled this out, talked to staff at Meredith on at least 3 occasions about getting my item returned - to no avail. I am frustrated and am shocked that they are still in business.

AVOID MEREDITH LODGING! We rented the Solitude house in Lincoln City, Oregon for 2 days. When we arrived we found the house in dire need of repair and filthy. Food and garbage under furniture, baking pans were rusty, bird poop on BBQ grate, dirty dishes in cupboards, screen door broken, no screens on windows and broken locks on ground floor window which prevented the house from being secured. The hot tub was exposed to the elements and had a filthy wet piece of carpeting for a welcome mat. Worst of all the home had been listed as having cable TV on two televisions when in fact the home had no cable. Our party of 10 had to watch the biggest game of the year on an IPad rather than the big screen TV. When we complained (and sent photos) about the condition of the house we received $100 off a $1,500.00 bill! When we persisted that this was not sufficient compensation we no longer were able to speak with a supervisor and our calls were not returned. Worst vacation rental experience ever!
