Problem solving

 I can't contact the room owner, what should I do ?

If you are having trouble getting in touch with the room owner, you may contact us in order to find a solution. Nonetheless, keep in mind that room owners are professionals like you and might be on the move or simply busy. As such, we advise to wait about three days before contacting us.

 What if something is missing or does not meet what was announced when I arrive?

Your first action should consist in contacting the equipment owner. If you notice that something is missing, does not work or does not correspond to what you expected based on the listing, please refer to the person present when you arrive at yoour booking. Identifying and discussing this matter directly with the equipment owner is the quickest way to ensure you get what you asked for and therefore continue your session as planned.

If the owner of the room had indicated the presence of elements that are not actually there and is unable to provide them, you may open a litigation through vr-bnb. To do so:

1. Go to "Dashboard"
2. Under "My Bookings" select "See my bookings"
3. Click on the relevant booking, then on "open a dispute" and fill in the form

If these shortcomings do not allow you to perform your session, you may contact us in order for us to assist you as much as possible in finding an alternative solution and equipment.

 What can I do if the equipment owner cancels the booking?

If the equipment owner cancels your booking, several options are available:

For your information: when the equipment owner cancels your booking, you are fully refunded.
