something is niggling away at me

If I was the owner with whom you were dealing, I would want to know if I wasn't coming up to scratch!!!
I am sure the subject can be couched in the nicest possible way so that no one takes offence.
Good Luck [msnsmile]

don't get me wrong everyone this is our second villa booked through OV and i have no qualms at all about booking through this site, i've even recommended it to other family members

i sent the owner another e.mail on monday so will wait til friday and if no response then i will send John the details for that nudge

LIke most have said it could be as simple as they are away with work. If not they should have left a tel number for you to get hold of them. If they have I would ring them and tell them your concern.

Last year we had a week on holiday away from our home in Florida and went to Holland. The home we hired did not have the internet so we were unable to be in contact by email as often as normal. We had to rely on a trip to a library (provided they were a) open and b) we could book time to catch up with our emails. I must confess we only dealt with any that were absolute emergencies and left the rest till our return. It could well be that your owner has gone away for 2 weeks and is in the same position.

Our booking form gives our phone number - have you checked to see if you have a phone number on any correspondence?

Could it be something as simple as the old AOL type problem where one end of the chain (owner or guest) uses AOL and AOL is up to it's old tricks of thinking genuine emails are spam and filtering them out before the recipient even sees it so one end of the chain is blissfully un-aware.

I'd suggest trying to call the owner as others have suggested as it's the only way to get round the above problem.

Hi mizzy,
I would definately call. I'm sure there is a reason for them not replying.

Yes - I'm sure all is well Mizzy.

Sometimes when I'm mega busy I overlook the occasional email - and then find it a few days later when clearng out my in-box.

They'll maybe read this thread and realise .....if not your idea for a gentle nudge sounds fine. I'm sure there's an explanation.

you'll give yourself a headache Mizzy if you dont get the help needed, i bet its what Johns suggesting? the spam filters, have read of it happening to others

Hi Mizzy - I have sometimes delayed responding to guests - though not intentionally... and if we are in Florida (we are on the old 'dial-up') things seem to take forever to attend to..

I am sure there is nothing untoward - and I guess any owner, myself included, would be mortified if they thought that they were causing their guest so much angst.

If they are away (especially in Florida) - then the time difference can work for you or against you - depending if you are in the same time zone as the guest (as it can here!)

Hope things will be resolved for you soon to put your mind at rest...

It's my guess that the owners will be on holiday, this being one of the main school holiday weeks.

Normally we go to Aberdaron in Wales this week and there is nowhere within half an hours drive to get internet access so we only access our e-mails once that week, so don't be too anzious! I am sure you will hear soon.
