“I was recommended to book with Homelike by my friend, as I didn't know you can book apartments for affordable monthly rent online. All went as expected. Friendly customer support, transparent booking, secured payment, even communication with the landlord and finalizing details before my move in. I can highly recommend Homelike.”
“I recently booked a temp apartment in Berlin for a four-month project via the Homelike website. My experience was good. Everything was an absolute breeze.
I wish the apartment were a bit cheaper but it was a one bedroom in the heart of Berlin. The value I received in return was well worth it. The apartment was fully furnished, cozy, and came with all the amenities I needed to feel at home during my stay.”
“Homelike has truly revolutionized the way I approach accommodation for both short-term and long-term stays. The extensive range of fully-furnished apartments ensures that there is something to suit everyone's needs, preferences, and budget. The user-friendly website makes it incredibly easy to browse through options, check amenities, and book my stay with just a few clicks. I appreciate the transparency in pricing and the detailed descriptions and photos of each property, which leave no room for surprises upon arrival. The customer service team deserves a special mention for their prompt responses and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure a seamless experience. Whether I am traveling for business or leisure, I know I can count on Homelike to provide a comfortable, secure, and convenient home away from home. The flexibility in lease terms is a game changer, especially for someone like me who often has unpredictable travel schedules. I wholeheartedly recommend Homelike to anyone in search of high-quality, hassle-free accommodation. Five stars across the board!”
“We are in our 60’s, and are financially sound.
Found a place for an appropriate 2 month stay in Valencia, Spain on HomeLike.
The calendar confirmed my dates.
Sent in the request.
Later on Google, I found an enormous amount of bad reviews on HomeLike about poor landlords, landlords stealing security deposits, HomeLike reps disappearing after taking in a tenant’s money, etc.
I emailed my concern and asked if they could give my any reviews on the landlord or the apartment.
No reply.
HomeLike simply emailed me that the apartment was now no longer available for my time slot.
Feels very, very shady.”
“I recently got a temporary apartment for 2 months in London through the Homelike website. Overall, I'd say I had a good experience. The site is user-friendly and the reservation process was smooth sailing. The apartment itself was a bit pricey (it's London after all) but was well-equipped and cozy, providing me with all the comforts of home during my stay. I'd use their service again. Thank you!”
“price, location, communication with the landlord... but I loved the most that I found a deposit free apartment that accepted my cat too. very though to be found on a tight budget.”
“I had a last minute cancellation from a landlord on other platform, and having Homelike as an option was a life saver, as I needed accommodation for my studies abroad. Although it's a co-living it was newly furnished and clean, and the roommate ended up being nice and friendly.”
“I was relocating from London to Cologne and needed a short-term housing solution. Airbnb was too expensive for 2-3 months, and Immobilienscout required a German credit score, which I lacked. Thankfully, I discovered Homelike.
My Homelike apartment had a great view and was affordable, fully furnished, with internet and no bills. Plus, no need for a Schufa. I later realized I could register my address there, simplifying things.
While email response time could be improved, I wholeheartedly recommend Homelike to fellow expats. If I move again, I'll choose Homelike.”
“Someone on Facebook recommended me Homelike, and as I never heard of it I was a bit skeptical due to some concerning reviews. Luckily I didn't have any trouble with my booking although it can be a bit prices. I guess it depends how convenient you want to be with your apartment search from abroad. I made the booking fairly close to move-in date, so I met the landlord on the day of the move in. I stayed there for the initial 2 months, before I found a longer term solution elsewhere.”
“This is my third booking with Homelike in the last two years. I love how the agents always do their best to help. Same was with my latest request, in which I had to extend the dates of stay. Once they offered me choices I had no trouble extending my trip. Thank you!”
“I recently booked a short-term apartment for 3 months through Homelike in Cologne, Germany and I've got to say, I was impressed. The website is super easy to use and the booking process was a breeze. The apartment itself was well-furnished and comfortable. So, if you're looking for a temporary furnished place, I'd definitely recommend checking them out!”
“My recent rental experience with Homelike and their local agency, Checkmyguest, has left me utterly disappointed.
The apartment, marketed as a premium remote work space with a high monthly rental cost (even for Paris standards), turned out to be a nightmare.
The ongoing noisy building works, were suspiciously absent from the listing, despite having commenced six months before the start of our tenancy. This omission drastically disrupted our daily routine and made remote work, an essential part of our stay.
Even more disconcerting was Checkmyguest's ineptitude in addressing our concerns. Numerous non-functional items (including basic ones like heating) were reported, but they were left unresolved.
The garden, an advertised amenity, fell into disarray without any of the promised maintenance.
The most concerning aspect of this experience is Checkmyguest's arbitrary decision to withhold a substantial portion of our deposit, citing damages that were there prior to our arrival.
Homelike's failure to hold their local agency accountable for these egregious actions and telling us that our only recourse is to sue Checkmyguest speaks volumes about their own commitment to customer satisfaction. The "Homelike guarantee" amounts basically to paying for nothing. We elected to go through Homelike as opposed to directly (which would have saved us €5,000 at least) because we wanted to be covered by what we thought was a reputable company like Airbnb or Booking. Nothing further from the truth. They are just a leach in the process that get money but provide no service. Avoid them at all costs”
““The place I booked is great! The website was very easy to navigate, the check in was fine and the apartment is great as in the pictures. I’ll definitely book again in Homelike for my next trip!””
“Homelike's service made my move to Germany easy and stress free. I was not able to find an apartment elsewhere as it requires a lot of documents and to visit the apartment, but with online booking option all went smooth for my transition. Price was acceptable as it included all the bills, including Internet. I also liked that the Landlord allowed me to do city registration which helped me open a bank account, and of course, get my first salary at the company I worked for.”
“Similar to Airbnb, but for monthly Stays, and most of the times They have better Prices.
It saved me a lot of time during my Relocation to Berlin, I could stay there 2 months while I kept on searching for a longer term Apartment”
