Yes. For a public Goboony review, I’d keep it **factual, strong and difficult to dispute**. I would leave the utensils out entirely because they dilute the serious issues.
Unfortunately, our experience with this motorhome was extremely disappointing and had a significant impact on our 4-day weekend away.
We paid approximately £1,000 for the hire, expecting the basic facilities of a motorhome to be functioning. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
Before we had even left our home in Bicester, we noticed water leaking from underneath the motorhome and contacted the owner. We were told it was waste water and not to worry about it, so we relied on that advice and continued with our trip.
The water continued to leak throughout the weekend, leaving us with no usable running water. We couldn't shower, use the taps or even wash our hands properly after using the toilet. As we were staying in a field with no alternative facilities, this had a huge impact on our weekend.
The electrical sockets also did not work. We were fully aware that they required a 240V hook-up and had the correct hook-up in place, but the sockets still didn't work.
The rear bed was also broken. It was so bad that we actually had to use gaffer tape ourselves to try to make it usable so that we could sleep on it. What was particularly disappointing was that, when we complained afterwards, the owner confirmed in writing that he had already been aware that two of the bed slats were broken before our hire.
We raised our concerns directly with the owner and requested a partial refund. Despite the lack of running water, unusable shower, electrical problems and broken bed, initially we were told that no refund would be provided and that we would need to take the matter up with Goboony. A refund of £78 was then offered but this was insulting !
These weren't small inconveniences. They fundamentally affected our ability to use and enjoy the motorhome and had a real impact on a weekend away that we had paid a considerable amount of money for.
Had we known beforehand that we would spend the weekend without running water or a shower, without working electrical sockets and sleeping on a bed that we had to gaffer tape ourselves, we simply would not have hired the motorhome.
We chose a motorhome rather than camping precisely because we wanted access to these basic facilities. Instead, we effectively spent four days camping in a field without them, despite paying around £1,000.
A really disappointing experience and unfortunately not one we could recommend.
