Poor response to calls…long waits and disconnects
Daniel was helpful and tried.
Overall, it has been a bad experience and would not recommend Turnkey.
Turnkey was not good at all in helping us split that payment between two parties. We spent a lot of time on the phone but, in the end, you would not accept splitting the fee between two parties. Also, it was VERY difficult to get help on the phone. I also rent out my house and I would never subject my guests to the Turnkey treatment.
10 days ago when we vacated our Turnkey rental property I would have left a positive review. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. We did find the Turnkey text contact and request to plug in their iPad a little creepy - felt like we were being watched - but overall a good experience.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of leaving some items behind in the house, and this is where the frustration began. I knew exactly where they were and texted Turnkey immediately. I asked twice to pick the items up in person and got no response. The responses I did get were friendly but without substance, which I now know is because most of the text responses come from a robot system. Despite my continued efforts to reach Turnkey by text and phone call, I could not get a person to actually help me get my items back. Finally today I called again and by luck spoke to someone who said that a lost items ticket needed to be filled out, which would, if they can be located, start the process of getting my items shipped back to me. This information would have been useful 10 days ago. The call took a half hour, and it was suggested that I call back in a few days to ensure the local team is looking for my items. Not holding out much hope.
Clearly Turnkey wants to appear invested in providing a "positive user experience" by sending robot texts asking whether they can be of help, but in reality, the help is pretty hard to come by and doesn't seem to be very invested in an actually positive guest experience.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international borders were closed last year, forcing us to cancel our trip. TurnKey refused to refund us our money, and instead, applied a credit which we’ve been given a deadline to use it by. We are still not comfortable travelling yet, however the credit expiry deadline is fast approaching, and we have no choice but to risk our health and travel, or forfeit the large full credit amount. I wish we could have just received a refund. Buyer beware!
The unit was dirty when we arrived and needed updates
The unit was dirty when we arrived. The dining table had dried up food still on it. The floors had sand all over them. The master bedroom had a sliding door. That door had no handle, so there was a big hole to outside and no way to lock. That was a big problem having a ground floor room. The refrigerator was rusted all on the front. We had to wash every kitchen item, because they didn’t look clean. Turnkey was contacted and had a maintenance person come to put a piece of wood on the door to keep it from opening, but they never fixed the hole to the outside. A door repair company was supposed to come out, but they never did. A cleaning crew did come out the next day, but we had already cleaned the floors and table so we'd feel comfortable staying in the unit.
I found the booking process to be extremely difficult and wouldn't recommend it to anybody else booking a vacation. It took multiple tries getting verified because they did not give very good directions and were not very helpful as far as customer service. It was nice they sent a reminder email before charging my account for the final payment, but I still will be booking elsewhere next time.
