FAQ

What is a Vacation Rental?

Vacation rentals are becoming one of the fastest-growing hospitality categories. Often costing less than other lodging options, vacation rentals afford travellers an accommodation lifestyle unlike any other, often providing considerably more space, personal amenities and privacy. The whole self-catering concept of vacation rentals helps to give travellers a sense of having a comfortable home-away-from-home.

When is Check-in and Check-out time?

Your Netanya Vacation Rental home will be available for Check-in at 4:00 p.m. Check out time is 10:00 a.m. Typically, vacation homes take more time than cleaning a normal hotel room — This is the reason for the 10AM checkout as the next guest checks in at 4PM. Check with us and if there’s not one checking in, on your check out day, we may be able to arrange a late check-out.

How do we travel from the airport to our vacation rental home?

You can hire a car at the airport. The car rental companies’ counters are located on the first floor of the Eastern Gallery in the Greeters Hall. The service is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The process of collecting or returning a rented car is handled in the car rental site located next to the UPS building.  The rental companies operate a shuttle service between Terminal 3 and the car rental site, and from the site to Terminal 3. The shuttle stop is located on Level G of Terminal 3. The service is provided by the rental companies and is their responsibility.

The Taxi companies at Ben Gurion Airport operate under supervision of the Israel Airports Authority. The Taxi Stations and dispatcher’s counter at Terminal 3 are located on Level G of the Multi Level Road.

The train station is located on Level S of the Landside Building, adjacent to the Greeters’ Hall at Ben Gurion Airport. You can then travel to Beit Yehoshua or Netanya stations and then take a taxi to your vacation rental apartment.

Why do I have to pay extra for each guest?



We feel that 2 people should not have to pay as much as a family of 6, and vice-versa. You will find that this sort of rate scale is standard practice with most vacation rentals. The additional guest fee goes towards the additional wear and tear on the vacation rental, and cost of supplies, utilities, laundry and cleaning necessary for that reservation

If we clean up after ourselves really well, do we have to pay the cleaning fee?



All guests must pay the applicable cleaning fee for their vacation rental with no exceptions. This fee goes toward subsidizing what is paid for housekeepers (who are required to follow our cleaning guidelines and checklist). Cleaning fees are standard with most vacation rentals.

I already paid the cleaning fee, why was I charged for additional cleaning?



We do ask our guests to leave their holiday apartment in the good condition that they found it. The housekeepers come in to vacuum, mop, sanitize, remove garbage etc. If it takes longer than usual for the housekeepers to clean, you will be charged additional cleaning fees. This means no dirty dishes in the sink, empty the rubbish/trash etc.

We just got back from our vacation and had a problem during our stay. Can you please contact us so we can discuss our compensation?



We require any and all issues and concerns to be reported to us DURING your stay. All phone messages are checked. If you cannot take the time to call and leave us a message regarding your concern before you leave, then it must not have been important enough to warrant any form of compensation. However, we always welcome your feedback and are happy to pass on any comments to the home owners at any time- we’re always looking for ways to improve our business and the properties we manage.
