• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
