This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

It was a thread of unlucky events. As I missed the ferry from Dublin to Liverpool, I was to spend the night in Irene’s house and take the ferry the next morning. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive her mail about the check-in time and went to her house sooner. I could spend a short time there, but I knew a friendly couple and saw a clean comfortable room and a parking possibility. I left to arrange the rebooking of my ferry ticket. As the co. offered me a ticket for the night ferry, I canceled my reservation by email that unfortunately, she didn’t receive. I wish others do not have such problems and will be able to enjoy the hospitability of a kind couple in a friendly house.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
