My experience with this booking

My experience with this booking company was incredibly disappointing. They failed to properly manage and vet their properties, which led to numerous problems. Communication with the landlord was terrible, showing a lack of professionalism and care. Students, who are already vulnerable, were treated unfairly, with important information being kept from them and entries into their rooms happening without warning. Requests for help were often ignored, and basic needs weren't always met. Serious issues like pests were ignored, putting residents in danger. In emergencies, there was no support, leaving residents feeling abandoned. Moving out was chaotic, and the landlord only responded when threatened legally. Getting our deposit back was confusing and stressful. Overall, this company's performance was very poor. They didn't address important issues and lacked professionalism. I wouldn't recommend renting from them at all.

Fraud as business model

Moved in a messy and disgusting home, reported immediately, made fotos, described everything, bought replacements for pillows, blankets etc. Moved out after 1st night. "Tenant protection" is a joke, claiming "When you pay to confirm your stay, your money is safe with us. We send it to the landlord only 48 hours after you move in unless you tell us the place isn't as promised. If you contact us, we'll help you." Support did not help. Had to pay EUR 315,-- tenant protection fee plus half of first months rent for one night. Unbelievable ... Support stopped answering emails. Landlord still talks big. Who gives them the right to judge their customers' money? What arrogance!

HousingAnywhere "tenant protection fee"

Warning to all potential users: HousingAnywhere imposes a steep, non-refundable fee on every single booking—euphemistically labeled a “tenant protection fee.” In reality, this is nothing more than a hidden brokerage charge, cleverly disguised. These fees can range anywhere from €100 to €600 and are never returned, regardless of what happens with your rental. It’s a one-time payment, and it’s gone the moment you click "Book." This platform profits from unsuspecting tenants, not from providing genuine protection. I strongly urge anyone looking for housing to avoid HousingAnywhere and seek out more transparent, trustworthy alternatives. Date of experience: July 19, 2025

Dont use HousingAnywhere.com

Dont rent by housinganywhere.com its a scam We also been scammed, house in Barcelona full of mold anywhere in the shower in the refrigerator and in some clothing cabinets. I have cancelled the room in the 48 hours cancelling window,i try to phone to housinganywhere.com but i could not reach anyone, i emailed to housinganywhere.com to cancel my renting house, they say you have to sort it out with the contact person. I dont want to sort it out i want my money back. The contact person had to fix the mold issues on first hand before i rent the room. We will order legal assistance. So dont rent with housinganywhere.com, its a big scam

The most unpleasant experience

Around ten days ago, I booked a room through HousingAnywhere for December 1st. However, a few days later, I encountered some issues and requested to cancel the reservation. Unfortunately, HousingAnywhere has refused to refund my payment of approximately 1000 euros. Despite notifying them of the cancellation more than 50 days in advance, they have shown no willingness to return my money. I am deeply disappointed with their lack of regard for customers and tenants, as they seem to be more focused on profiting at the expense of others. I strongly believe they are obligated to refund my payment.

COmpany is a scam. Only if you are lucky with a rental company

They didnt return me money, even when i cant leave in that apartments from the rental comoane The room and bathroom were dirty upon arrival, with visible dirt, stains, and cobwebs. The refrigerator is filthy, in terrible condition, and not working properly. The dishwasher is broken and unusable. The Wi-Fi does not work at all, despite being included in the listing. The light in my room is flickering and unstable, making it unsafe and uncomfortable. I wrote it, but the Housing didnt return anything. DONT USE IT

I wouldn't advise using this company.

I wouldn't advise using this company. Right from the start, the price was raised from the advertised 1400 Euro to over 2000, plus extra charges for a service that doesn't offer much value. The place was far from clean, located in a sketchy area with a lot of drug users, and there were no amenities nearby, despite what was claimed. Also, trying to collect more data through Trustpilot feels unnecessary and off-putting; people should be able to leave reviews without all this extra stuff.

Rip Off

After booking a flat in Spain on Housing Anywhere on Nov 24th, I informed them on Nov 25th that we had to cancel due to my wifes father entering the hospital. On Dec 2nd, my wifes brother agreed to watch her father in the month of June so we could stay in Spain. |However, Housing Anywhere refused to honor our stay request OR provide a refund of our money. Cheats and rip off artists getting double payments for the same rental!!! DO NOT USE!!!!

Terrible time in Berlin

Terrible time in Berlin Housinganywhere feels more like a money grab. Their main goal seems to be just to take your deposit and nothing else. I faced issues getting my deposit back and got zero help from Housinganywhere. Moreover, my time in Berlin with MP GmbH (Samos Sanchez) was a disaster. They offer only 6-month contracts, and after that, they hike up the monthly price. They fix problems from long ago, and you end up paying for it.

HOUSING ANYWHERE IS A SCAM

Rented a room for my daughter in Barcelona for four months. Contrary to their description on their platform the room has no natural light, no security and the surface is 5 sq. meters smaller than advertised. Reached them, namely their boss, Jim Bijwaard, who took no action. Only action this SOB took was to take my money, including a 1000 euro security fee. FOR YOUR SAKE stay away from this platform.

Mafia

I have been scammed by this app. And by an agent who infiltrated their app. The thieves have more cybersecurity than the IT people of this company. I was told that the keys were delivered by HousingAnywhere and no one answers neither the owner nor the company. They are a bunch of scammers do not fall into the same as so many of us.

Disappointing experience with the

Disappointing experience with the company - encountered unfriendliness and unprofessionalism. Moreover, the cost of utilities skyrocketed, reaching 800€ instead of the initially stated 200-300€. Misleading information and subpar service left a negative impression.

Terrible service and too expensive

Terrible service, false advertisement and high costs. This is an extremely expensive service, they charge too many non-reimbursable costs and if the client is not comfortable with the service then they stole this reimbursable charges. Go with AirBnb instead.

Very bad experience with HousingAnywhere and ***

Do not trust this website HousingAnywhere , do not book anything there and mainly with and ***. They take your money and even if property is not what is expected they do not return money, and put you in a chain of misleading communication.
