“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”
“I was very pleased to find Homelike. I was relocating for my new job and it was really difficult to find an apartment in Berlin. The search process was really easy, I found quickly an apartment that fit my needs and had instant approval from the landlord. The payment was easy and a person called me to answer all my open questions.
I have moved in, and the apartment is as expected. Really satisfied with the service.”
“Much better than AirBnB
Homelike had a vast selection of apartments with attractive prices, good overview of amenities and nice pictures. I found it very trustful that they act as an agent between the booker and the landlord and collect the first rent, so that noc scam is possible from both sides”
“Homelike helped me find an great apartment in Lisbon. The booking process was easy and I was able to sort out everything, even the contract was finalized via the website. Ideal solution for expats or nomads trying to find a place in an unknown country. The blog also provides super helpful insights into neighborhoods of the city, which helped me a lot in looking for the best area for me.”
“I used Homelike to book a furnished Apartments in Valencia, and I was very satisfied with the User Experience and the Service they Provide.
They Have a very wide Apartment Selection and Everything went very smoothly, from Payment to Email Communication
I recommend it”
“I would recommend the booking platform, easy to navigate and no issues occured during the process. Customer support was very fast and friendly - thanks! Overall, good experience and I'd recommend to others.”
“Who pays pal charges landlord ot tenant? Has asked company as owner
demands tenant to pay paypal charges in CASH and keep adding to the rent
“As the recipient of funds, you are responsible for all PayPal fees. Fees for receiving money are typically a fixed fee plus a percentage of your transaction total. PayPal fees also vary by payment type, currency received, payment method, and whether the transaction is domestic or international.”
2. Blaming the tenant staying in 3 plus months has created the mould when most of the windows do not open ( told by the owner not to open certain ways)
3 no heating or hot water ( owner controls through smart home system )
Does not want to fix the issues and blames tenant?”
“On my own with terrible company based on Spain called for you rentals
Beware!! They provide an apartment that has nothing to do with the.pcitures and descriptions
They trying to blame me for electrical.problems that we experienced from day one and they holding my security deposit.of 3000 euros that they are trying to steal.
Maybe police and legal ways will be involved .”
“Everything went smooth. I could book everything from my couch, took me 2 days to complete and now I am looking forward to my stay in central London. Perfect site for a digital Nomad.”
“Would stay away from this company. Tried to book an apartment in Berlin, they debited my account then cancelled the booking straight away. They eventually refunded my money less about $120 in fees They haven’t responded to all my messages. I would never recommend or use this company”
“Stick to Airbnb or Booking. I have the same experience as many other clients :
- No flat reviews = huge red flag
- False statements : "trusted landlord", "immediate deposit refund after checkout"
- Powerless support : the landlord does whatever he wants
- Support gives up quickly and close your case
- Support doesn't take calls (never)
- Deposit stolen by the landlord
- They allow dishonest landlords and scammers to operate freely on the platform
I rented out a flat in July-August 2022 in Cologne. I was attracted by lower prices than Airbnb and the "trusted landlord" badge.
And then problems started :
- impossible to cancel even after 1 minute
- unfriendly and messy communication from the landlord. I have been ignored when I asked basic questions
- the flat was dirty (pans, silver sets, surfaces)
- no equipment to clean (not even a sponge)
- the mattress was in terrible condition
- the 2 pillows were completely destroyed
I sent a polite email to ask if I could leave sooner because I had back pains. The landlord almost insulted me. The support asked the landlord if he could at least change the pillows or the mattress. He replied that the case was closed!
Last but not least, the "trusted landlord" is holding (probably stealing) the deposit since I left even though I returned the flat cleaner than it was when I moved in. He doesn't replies to emails anymore. The support is now telling me that they will contact the landlord in 8 weeks if I still don't have received the deposit. 8 weeks!”
“The worst experience ever. Thehomelike is useless to solve issues with the landlord. They are total powerless because you pay directly to the landlord. In my case unfortunately and after 20 days staying in the rental apartment, Homelike has NOT been able to solve any of the problems. Moreover, it is impossible to get a operator to answer your calls. It is quite infuriating. My advice, forget about this HOMELIKE renting service. The only thing they do is to manage a website. That is ALL. In the case you have a problem with the landlord, you will be on your own, and mostly on the hands of the landlord because he/she holds your deposit. Shameful.”
