Dishonourable and irresponsible
Dishonourable and irresponsible. Booked an apartment in Livigno and it was confirmed and they even asked for credit card payment and lots of communication in-between to confirm my reservation. We booked our flight and the next day they message to inform me that the apartment was advertised wrongly and they wanted to cancel my booking. I already booked my flight because I thought I secured the apartment and now they just cancelled it on me when and they claimed that the price was wrong. They would not pay for my trip cancellation charges and would not honour my booking. This is making the customer pay for their mistakes as we would have considered somewhere else if not for this apartment booking. Lack integrity, dishonourable and irresponsible.
Clearly, their reply here just shy away from responsibility. There were so many messages after that asking for payment which I gave my card details and accounts department confirming it. I bought the air ticket because I thought I found somewhere reasonable, even if it’s a year away. I would not have chose this destination if not for this accomodation. They do not want to take responder their mistakes and made the customer pay for it! Happy rental, no way!

Dear Serene,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly regret the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused you.
We would like to clarify that your reservation was made late in the evening on April 18th for a stay starting on April 11th of the following year (2026). Shortly after receiving the booking, we identified a technical error in the listing caused by a server issue, which unfortunately resulted in incorrect pricing and availability being displayed.
We completely understand your disappointment. However, as this was due to a genuine system error and no payment was taken, we were unfortunately not in a position to honour the incorrect rate or assume the cost of travel changes.
That said, as your intended arrival date is still nearly a year away, we sincerely hope you will have ample time to find a suitable alternative that meets your needs and expectations.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team
We stayed at a happy Rental property in San Margarite, Italy
SAY NO TO HAPPY RENTALS! First, we discovered a large dead bird caught in a dusty tarp left on the couch (had this apt been cleaned since last season?and oof, the stench) and discovered no power after returning from a long day of exploration. They tried to blame us, saying we had too much plugged in but we were gone ALL day. There is NO local support from HR. We had to dispose of the dead bird ourselves, it sat outside the home in a bucket our entire stay. We had to scrounge around the apt building in the dark, dealing with electric boxes for over an hour to turn power on. This was aggravating as well as dangerous. We left a day early and HR refused to compensate us for our troubles. Oh, and the apt itself is cheaply updated, don't let the photos fool you. This house was expensive, NOT worth it. Other travel services bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable. Choose the alternatives!

Dear Kindall,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience at Sea View Terrace in Santa Margherita did not meet your expectations, and we regret that your stay was impacted by these issues.
We would like to clarify a few important points:
Our local team was in direct contact with you and responded promptly to assist with the electricity issue. Power outages happen at times in Italy, but clear video and photo instructions were provided to help restore the power safely, and we were assured the issue was resolved quickly. The brief sound of the alarm was a normal part of the reset process and stopped automatically, as designed.
We’re really sorry you found yourselves navigating the dark like amateur electricians. Definitely not the kind of immersive experience we aim for, but part of the unknown adventure when travelling.
Regarding the unfortunate report of a dead bird, we were not informed of this during your stay with supporting photos, which made it difficult for us to assess or address the situation properly.
We strive to offer attentive local support, and we're sorry to hear you felt otherwise. While compensation was not issued in this case, we did do our best to provide timely assistance throughout your stay.
We hope your next adventure includes more pasta and less power panels!
Kind regards,
Happy Rentals Team

Super helpful and efficient
Happy Rentals sent clear and concise information. The apartment was as advertised, had everything we needed for our stay. It was close enough to centre of village to reach restaurants in 5mins and lift in 10 at most, but also far enough away from any noise in the centre. Sauze is a lovely village, with enough going on to keep you busy every night, but not too crazy that you can’t share experience with family. We felt safe, all locals very friendly. Our host replied to messages almost immediately and was so helpful. I’ll use this company again for sure!

Lovely ski week in Chamonix Valley.
My family stayed in a condominium apartment in the Chamonix Valley in March 2025. The apartment was exactly as depicted online at Expedia. Happy Rentals has several offices in the valley, including one just a five minute walk from our apartment. It was convenient on two occasions to visit the office for inquiries.

Perfect Spot in Sauze D’Oulx!
Perfect Spot in Sauze D’Oulx!
We had a fantastic stay here! The location is spot on—just a short walk to the chair lifts, which made getting on the slopes super easy. Plus, there are loads of great restaurants and bars nearby, so we never had to go far for a good meal or après-ski drink.
The apartment was really well-equipped with everything we needed, clean, cozy, and a great place to relax after a day in the mountains. The hosts were awesome—really friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. Shout out to Ilona!
Would 100% stay here again—highly recommend!

Great stay in Sauze d'Oulx, Italy
We stayed in Italy/Sauze d'Oulx and had a pleasant stay! The private appartment was small but since we were skiing all day and ate dinner at the local restaurants, we mostly needed it for sleeping. Location was great: close to center but still away from all the after-ski noise. We were actually the only ones in the whole building so it was really quiet! The village is awesome and beautiful! We had some issues with warming but the local office helped us immediately and everything went smoothly. The double bed is a sofa bed but it was surprisingly good and we slept well. The floors are quite cold in the winter, some extra shoes or crocs would've been useful. Also a door mat for dirty shoes inside the appartment could be good to protect the floors. Eco tip: recycling was made very easy in the village. The appartment has no different bins for different type of waste but we did our best!

Appartement simple but great
Appartement was simple but great. Good location, close to city center and a dedicated car park place. Thanks to Happy Rentals, clear instructions, easy check in and out and keys facilities. The only remark is that payment was in Switzerland so extra fees to consider !

Do not stay in this apartment unless you are partial to an all night Rave or are nocturnal!
We are not exaggerating sitting and trying to sleep in the apartment is completely impossible . Company reviews misleading and i’m not exaggerating when describing the noise aggravation. Company states this is a place for families or a couple to relax. This is completely untrue and all parties dealing with the rental accommodation are completely unhelpful once you arrive and they have your money.. watch out for the company misrepresentation as they remove negative feedback giving you a false sense of security. Mark and Jennifer who represent this listing are completely unhelpful and just advised us to spend our holiday contacting the police to solve their problems.
Apartment has old wooden windows with no sound insulation and pictures are misleading as it could definitely do with new carpet and is in need of some attention!
DO NOT RENT THIS APARTMENT OR DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE.

Dear Dave,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your current stay at Apartment Aiguille de Midi in Chamonix. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations.
We understand how frustrating external noise can be, and we are sorry it has impacted your stay. While the apartment is in a central location—which many guests appreciate for its convenience—this can occasionally mean an increase in noise, particularly during busy times in Chamonix. We do our best to accurately represent this in our listings, but we recognize that everyone’s sensitivity to noise can differ.
As mentioned in our recent communication, we have offered a partial refund should you wish to depart earlier than planned, and we’re still here to assist if you’d like to take us up on that option. Please do let us know what you’d prefer, as we want to make sure we provide the best possible solution under the circumstances.
Finally, we want to clarify that we do not remove genuine reviews—positive or negative. We believe in transparency and take all feedback seriously to improve our guests’ experiences.
If there’s anything else we can do for you during your remaining time in Chamonix, we are here and ready to help.
Kind regards,
Happy.Rentals Team

We stayed at La Stella Alpina Sestriere
We stayed at La Stella Alpina in Sestriere, great communication before and easy key collection. We also had a issues with cleaners still in the apartment on arrival. My problem was the apartment itself, I appreciate it's someone home but there is no storage space for 5 people, one wardrobe had the owners stuff in there, coffee table full of clutter, not even space for cup, why have magazines from 2016 ! Table lamps also full of clutter. We also had issues with half the plug sockets not working and some lighting not working. With only a 3 seater sofa, after a day's skiing not the best for 3 adults and 2 teenagers was too cramped but that was our fault. Someone from happy rentals needs to contact the owners to remove their personal effects and clutter before renting this apartment, its not as it shows on the photos. The electrics need to be checked too as the main fuse box popped which could be related to the sockets and lights . The comfy beds and permanent running hot water were a positive

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at La Stella Alpina in Sestriere. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve.
We’re glad to hear that you found our communication clear and the key collection process smooth. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the comfort of the beds and the convenience of the hot water after your days on the slopes!
Regarding your comments about the apartment, we’re sorry that certain aspects didn’t meet your expectations. While the property photos online are recent and accurately reflect the space, we understand that storage can feel limited, especially when traveling with five people.
As for the electricity, we’d like to clarify that in Italy, it’s common for the power supply to trip when multiple appliances are used at once.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back to one of our properties in the future for a smoother experience.

Appartamento Pian dei Larici, Sauze D'Oulx, Italy.
We stayed at the Appartamento Pian dei Larici, Sauze D'Oulx, Italy.
Contacted by the host a day before, who was superb and helpful, and received the arrival instructions via email then too, which were clear and precise.
We arrived 30 mins before we were supposed to (1600 check in), due to the transfer, found the apartment, but it hadn't been cleaned, i contacted the host who said they were running late due to a high number of apartments being cleaned, we left at 1615 for food and returned about 1900 and it was cleaned.
The apartment itself was nice, had everything we needed. Unfortunately there was a horrendous smell in the kitchen, we initially assumed the bin, so left that outside, but the smell continued, took us 3 days to realise it was the radiator vase, no idea what was in it (old food maybe), so left that outside, and the smell was gone from the kitchen.
The electrics.... the light fitting in the living room had wires pocking out of it, the socket next to the TV was hanging out (again, bare wires), the socket in the living room, when you pulled the plug out, the whole socket would come out of the wall.
Bur other than the stated issues, the apartment was ok.
