Hello Tampa
A lovely place to go home to after a fun day in the city is always a delight. Tampa, Florida has so much in store for its visitors, but not only that, it also has lovely hotels, Airbnb rentals, and HomeAway accommodations as well. Not all of us are fond of hotels as it can sometimes be too public, not as quiet as we hope for, or not ideal for such a large group of tourists, that’s why lovely Airbnb or HomeAway rentals are our top choice. In case you are planning a trip to this beautiful city, our list of Tampa vacation rentals with a pool may come in handy. We wish you a fabulous trip ahead.
FAQ for travel to Tampa, Florida
1. What’s the cleaning and sanitisation process for accommodations during COVID-19?
The cleaning and sanitisation process between guest stays may differ depending on the host (if you’re booking a vacation rental) or hotel/resort. The CDC has issued guidelines for businesses and communities to follow. All accommodations will clean and sanitise your booked accommodation before and after your stay.
Cleaning: this refers to the removal of dust and dirt from surfaces (by sweeping, vacuuming and/or mopping). Your accommodation will also be cleaned by emptying bins, replacing bedsheets and towels etc.
Sanitisation: this refers to the use of CDC-approved chemicals to kill germs/bacteria, and of course the COVID-19 virus, from surfaces like doorknobs and lightswitches.
2. Can I cancel my reservation? What’s the cancellation policy?
The short answer is yes. However, whether you’ll get fully refunded for your reservation is another thing. Cancellation policies are decided by the host (for a vacation rental) or hotel/resort and can therefore vary. You should check your booking confirmation for details on the cancellation policy and the cancellation fees or refund for your booking.
3. What’s the average price for an accommodation in Tampa?
