Stage One:

All complaints in the first instance should be directed to the Reception of your Host accommodation. This can be done in person or telephone. Our reception staff will wherever possible try to resolve the matter for you as quickly as possible.

If you are dissatisfied with the response you received you may then escalate your complaint to stage two.

Stage Two:

Your complaint must be in writing either by letter or email and directed to the Manager of the relevant Host accommodation. The Manager will investigate and respond to your complaint in writing within 10 working days giving the possible solutions available or further details on the issue.

If you are unhappy with the solutions or explanations given you may then chose to escalate your complaint to Stage three, this must be done in writing either by email or letter within 10 working days of the response you have received.
