The check in/out procedure was simple. The host was amazing. The price was better than local hotels. I will be using this again.

We found a great deal on a cabin through Whimstay. When there was a 100 year flood that led to power outages and landslides the week of our trip, Whimstay worked with the owner to issue us a full refund. Great customer service and will definitely rebook with them in the future.

Please don't waste your time and money with Whimstay, it's not worth the headache. I booked a beautiful condo in Mexico for next summer and was immediately emailed by my host trying to double charge me. I figured it was a mistake, so I emailed the host asking for clarification as I had paid through Whimstay. No reply. I received another email several days later again asking for payment from my host. No reply when I followed up. I then turned to Whimstay "support" and did not receive any answer for an entire day. At this point I was panicked as I had invested a significant amount of money in what seemed like a scam. Despite doing nothing wrong, following Whimstay's instructions to contact my host, and contacting Whimstay "support" through FOUR DIFFERENT METHODS they would not refund my service fee, just the stay itself. So now I'm out $80 because Whimstay didn't properly vet a host who is SCAMMING people. This is totally unacceptable and also insane. I've told all my friends to not book with Whimstay either.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry this experience caused you stress. The invoice you received was an automated message from the host's system with incorrect information. We completely understand why this looked suspicious, especially when the host didn't respond to your emails. We've contacted the host to prevent these confusing emails from being sent to future guests and to address their delayed responses. We have several ways you can contact us for your convenience and we responded to your message promptly during business hours. The non-refundable service fee you mentioned is part of your host's selected cancellation policy and was clearly detailed on the property page and at checkout. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to help you find a stay in the future.

First time using Whimstay. They get back to you with any questions. A real person to talk to. They made the experience comforting for a first time user. Planned a trip to Chicago for a group of 9 so I needed a company I could depend on. I felt safe and supported.
