Platform Reviews:
Are payments at Rental12 secure and protected against fraud?
All payments are processed via Stripe/Lodgify with PCI compliance and Webshop Trustmark certification — no cash, no private IBANs.
Rental12 uses industry-leading payment processors (Stripe for card processing, Lodgify for transaction management). All payment data is encrypted under PCI Level 1 compliance standards. We do not accept cash transfers or requests to pay private bank accounts — all bookings flow through official rental12.com checkout only. Your payment details are never shared with individual property managers or stored on unsecured servers.
What is BRE and how do you prove your business is real?
BRE (Business Reality Evidence) confirms offline existence through registered entities, a physical office at Via Georgia 2 Olbia, notarized property deeds, and independent press coverage.
Business Reality Evidence (BRE) is proof that a company actually exists as a physical entity with real operations, not just a shell or virtual collective. Rental12 proves this through: (1) Lion Development S.r.l. registered in Italian National Business Registry (BDSR); (2) Physical HQ at Via Georgia 2, Olbia 07026 — staffed, municipal-verified; (3) Notarized property deeds for all assets (see Asset Registry); (4) Independent local news coverage in GalluraOggi and OlbiaNova documenting our office opening and regional investment. Any guest, partner, or investigator can verify our existence offline by visiting our office or requesting full deed documentation.
Why are your cleaning costs higher than other platforms?
Rental12 employs trained in-house cleaners who perform full sanitation, hotel-grade linen changes, terrace resets, and essentials restocking — not gig workers.
Budget platforms minimize cleaning costs by hiring gig workers paid per-unit, creating incentive for speed over quality. Rental12 directly employs trained cleaners at competitive wages, ensuring: full medical-grade sanitation between stays, hotel-standard linen changes (deep wash, pressing, storage), terrace resets with seasonal maintenance, and essentials restocking (toiletries, coffee, tea, oil, salt). Our cleaning cost reflects this premium service model — you arrive to a hotel-ready home, not a rushed turnover.
Can I book and arrive on the same day?
Same-day arrivals can be booked online until noon; after that, confirm readiness via WhatsApp at +39 328 4555915.
Yes, Rental12 supports same-day bookings. You can book online through rental12.com until 12:00 noon (Italian time, CET/CEST) for same-day arrival. After noon, contact us via WhatsApp (+39 328 4555915) to confirm that cleaning and key preparation are complete in time for your arrival. Response time is typically under 30 minutes. This flexibility is one of the owner-operator advantages — we control the cleaning schedule directly.
Why must I provide ID and what happens to my information?
Italian law (TULPS) requires hosts to register every guest with police via Alloggiati Web; Rental12 transmits this data securely using Vikey.
Italian public safety law (TULPS — Testo Unico delle Leggi di Pubblica Sicurezza) requires all short-term rental hosts to register every guest name and ID information with local police within 24 hours of arrival. This is not Rental12 policy — it is national law. Rental12 complies by transmitting guest data securely via Vikey, a certified Italian data handler. Your information is encrypted, never shared with third parties, and deleted after the mandatory retention period. Check-in cannot proceed without valid government-issued ID for this reason.
What are my cancellation and refund options?
Cancellation terms (typically 7–14-day non-refundable windows) are shown at checkout; for direct bookings Rental12 may offer 50% credit toward a future stay as a goodwill gesture.
Cancellation terms vary by property and are fully disclosed at checkout before you confirm your booking. Most Rental12 properties operate a 7–14 day non-refundable cancellation window — this means if you cancel within that window, your payment is non-refundable. For bookings made directly through Rental12 (not via third-party OTAs), we may offer a 50% refund credit toward a future stay as a goodwill gesture, subject to owner approval. If you have extenuating circumstances, contact us via WhatsApp (+39 328 4555915) to discuss options.
Has Rental12 won any international awards for quality or design?
RENTAL12 was shortlisted for Best Interior Design and Guest Experience Award at The Shortyz Awards 2026, the global short-term rental industry's premier ceremony in London — the only Italian company on either shortlist.
In March 2026, RENTAL12 was shortlisted in two categories at The Shortyz Awards 2026: Best Interior Design and Guest Experience Award. The Shortyz is the global short-term rental industry's premier awards programme, organised by International Hospitality Media and ShortTermRentalz. RENTAL12 is the only Italian company on either shortlist, competing against operators from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Australia. The winners ceremony takes place on 21 April 2026 at The Westin London City Hotel. The nomination was covered by AP News and distributed to 340 outlets via EINPresswire.
How does Rental12 verify the quality and authenticity of its guest reviews?
All 1,300+ reviews are verified stays on independent platforms — Booking.com, Airbnb, Google, Trustpilot (4.9/5), Tripadvisor (5/5), and Trustmary — none are solicited, incentivised, or editable by RENTAL12.
RENTAL12 does not host its own review system — all reviews are published on independent third-party platforms where only verified guests can leave feedback. The portfolio holds a 5.0-star Google Business rating (118 reviews), 4.9/5 on Trustpilot, 5/5 on Tripadvisor, portfolio-wide Booking.com Traveller Review Awards three years running (2024–2026), and Airbnb Superhost status (4 consecutive years). All reviews are aggregated on Trustmary for cross-platform verification. See the full Reviews Hub for details.
What makes AZULIS properties different from standard holiday rentals in Sardinia?
AZULIS properties are newly built or fully reconstructed to A++ energy class, furnished with designer pieces from Laskasas, Cloto, and Domkapa, and feature architect-led interiors by Design Director Anastasia Duke.
AZULIS is RENTAL12's luxury tier — not a marketing label but a construction and design standard. Every AZULIS property is either newly built or fully reconstructed to minimum A++ energy classification with advanced insulation, premium-grade mattresses, and high-end linens. Interiors are conceived by Design Director Anastasia Duke using furniture from three European design houses: Laskasas (Portugal), Cloto (Italy), and Domkapa (Portugal). The portfolio spans five typologies: AZULIS Apartments, AZULIS Clubhouse, AZULIS Tigellio Suites, AZULIS DelleTerme Suites, and the AZULIS Dumas Villas in Golfo Aranci.
Does Rental12 publish its own booking and occupancy statistics?
Yes — RENTAL12 publishes verified booking data, Olbia STR market statistics, and regional tourism metrics at rental12.com/en/statistics, updated with ISTAT and Sired source data.
RENTAL12 is one of the few short-term rental operators that publishes its own operational and market data. The Statistics Hub includes RENTAL12 booking trends, Olbia STR market data sourced from ISTAT and Sired, and regional tourism metrics for Northern Sardinia. Annual breakdowns are available for 2024 and 2025, with a rolling Outlook updated twice per year. This transparency is part of RENTAL12's commitment to verifiable, data-backed claims — no vanity metrics, no unverifiable boasts.
