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.

Fijne onboarding, veilig gevoel

HousingAnywhere.com leidde me vriendelijk door het proces met herkenbare stappen. Identiteitsverificatie voelde degelijk en berichten met de verhuurder reageren soepel in het systeem. Registratie was eenvoudig en de filters werken logisch. Eerste keer huren via zo'n platform en het voelde meteen vertrouwd.

Tiszta folyamat, biztonságos fizetés

Kereséstől a szerződésig minden lépést a platformon intéztem. A bérbeadóval a chatben egyeztettünk, a foglaló bankkártyával ment. Egy dátumütközést gyorsan feloldott a support közvetítése. Külön tetszett a visszaigazoló dokumentum és a világos lemondási tájékoztatás.

Költözés új városba egyszerűen

A regisztráció személyi igazolvány feltöltéssel ment, nem volt bonyolult. A szűrők (ár, dátum, közlekedés) gyorsan szűkítették a találatokat. Az üzenetküldés a bérbeadóval átlátható, biztonságos fizetés opcióval. Gyakori kérdések jól segítettek.

Fijn platform met waarborgen

Registreren en documenten uploaden ging soepel en gaf vertrouwen. De berichtenfunctie hielp bij vragen aan de verhuurder. Betaling via het platform voelde veilig. Er was onduidelijkheid over nutsvoorzieningen; support bemiddelde snel. Pluspunt: duidelijke annuleringsregels. Klein minpunt: kalender van host bleek niet volledig actueel.

Start simpel, viele Filter

Account anlegen, E-Mail bestätigen, Stadt wählen, Einzugsdatum setzen - das war fix. Die Filter nach Mietart, Budget und Möblierung sind hilfreich. Eine kurze Lernkurve beim Verifizierungsprozess, aber die Erklärungen und Tooltips führen gut durch. Buchungsanfrage klappte ohne Rätselraten.

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

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
