Unsuccessful and high fees
I gave this app a try in Spain but every property refused my billing because they were already booked off of this platform. Most properties seem to be on idealista and are more than happy to work directly with you instead of through Spotahome. Beyond that the search in Spotahome was not easy to navigate and the fees are way too high for the lack of value they add.

Booking YG9J2G6-7J (Via Disciplini 5, Milan)
One of the worst platform experiences I’ve had.
The apartment had serious ongoing issues from the first day: constant power outages, no stable Wi-Fi, and severe limitations that made normal use of the apartment impossible. It was not a functional place to stay.
We reported the problems immediately within the 24-hour window as required by Spotahome’s own policy. Despite this, there was no real support, no urgency, and no intervention at any point during our stay.
For several days, we were left dealing directly with the landlord while staying in an apartment that clearly did not match the advertised conditions.
The advertised “support and protection” simply did not exist in practice. The assistance was effectively zero from start to finish.
I would strongly caution others to think twice before relying on Spotahome in situations where real customer support matters

Read Incredibly Carefully
Lost money canceling a book partially for not being careful on the booking and partially for the confusing added fees and multiple links I had to read through to understand all the added fees and what a refund entailed.
The landlords and spotahome charge LARGE fees that aren’t refundable.
When I was trying to cancel I was barely getting a reply until I sent multiple messages through multiple venues BUT they were quick to reply to me when I was still trying to book on their app a different place. I found this to be distrustworthy of them.
good luck!

Warning: I lost €1500 using Spotahome – DO NOT TRUST THEM
I had a terrible experience with Spotahome and I feel the need to warn others.
I booked a place through Spotahome and paid €861. The apartment was completely different from what was shown. I was put in the wrong room and felt scammed from the first moment. Because of that, I had to cancel the booking and leave.
Spotahome claimed they would return the money, but instead they transferred €550 + €311 in fees to the landlord. I have not received any refund, and they are just ignoring me or giving useless responses. It’s been a long time now, and my only hope is the bank that I used for payment.
I also lost nearly €600 on flights and trains, trying to fix the situation, and I didn’t sleep for two nights because I had no proper place to stay. In total, I lost over €1500 in just 3 days because of Spotahome and the landlord they worked with.
Be very careful. This platform does not protect you. They act like they care, but once they have your money — they disappear.
DO NOT trust Spotahome. My honest recommendation is to avoid using their “guaranteed” service. It’s not guaranteed at all. I trusted them and ended up completely betrayed.

Policies are a scam, report them to the denuncia and the ECC.
I hope SPOTAHOME is reading this, I an filing a report against you guys!
Horrible
No vale la pena reservar a través de la aplicación, es todo carísimo, pagas habitaciones a precio de piso completo, entre todos acabáis pagando mucho más de lo que cuesta el piso originalmente. No vale para nada, es una estafa para gente que viene de fuera. Se aprovechan de la gente.
Bonjour
Je me renseigne par rapport a votre application car j ai entendu des eco par rapport a votre applications pourriez-vous me un peut plus de renseignement car je suis en recherche d un studio surtout pas d’arnaque car cela je ne supporte pas
No alquilar a Four you rentals
A través de esta aplicación he alquilado a una empresa que se llama FOR YOU RENTALS. Es de lo peor. Todo siempre es a su favor. Ponen fotos engañosas. Los lugares que les alquilé tenían problemas de diferente tipo. Me la paso reclamando. Si pagas sos rehén de la empresa.
Filters do not work, high fees
I selected the check-in date of October 1 and the state period of 1-3 months, yet it shows me apartments that are not available for the October, 1st, or apartments that need to be rented for at least four months.
Also, it is not possible to filter out landlord fee, I’m not paying double the price for the studio that I’m renting for one month.
Also, turns out their commission is almost 40%, that’s crazy. After I discovered that, I immediately deleted the application. They suggested me to pay 388 Euros of fees for the monthly rent of an apartment of €1000.

À fuir
Frais cachés et plus de deux mois pour obtenir une caution rognée par d’autres frais cachés. On finit par payer 9 mois de loyer au lieu des 5 prévus. Malhonnête.
CUIDADO CON SPOTAHOME!
¡Cuidado con Spotahome!
Alquilé una habitación a través de esta plataforma confiando en su “filtro de verificación” y pagando tanto su comisión como el primer mes de alquiler. Todo parecía en regla, hasta que al llegar al piso mis propios compañeros me advirtieron de que el inmueble estaba en pleno proceso judicial entre el supuesto arrendador y el propietario real.
Poco después, todos recibieron una carta certificada del juzgado de Múnich notificando que habían sido denunciados por el propietario legítimo. Tras investigar, descubrí lo más grave: el anunciante, que Spotahome había “verificado”, llevaba meses sin pagar al dueño del piso. Porqué no habían renovado el contrato. Aún así tras 9 meses en que el anunciante no pagaba, ¡Spotahome seguía anunciando habitaciones de este!
Lo indignante es que ahora me veo arrastrado a una situación legal delicada por haber confiado en la supuesta seguridad de Spotahome. Y cuando pedí ayuda y reembolso, la respuesta fue vergonzosa: se escudaron en que no reclamé nada en las primeras 24 horas, ¡como si uno pudiera prever una notificación judicial que llegó 8 días después del inicio del contrato!
En definitiva: Spotahome no protege al inquilino, no responde cuando hay problemas serios y se lava las manos en cuanto puede. Ojalá esta reseña sirva de advertencia: no se fíen de sus supuestas garantías de verificación, porque lo que prometen y lo que entregan son dos mundos distintos.

Sono dei veri e propri truffatori
Piattaforma pessima, un’esperienza da incubo. Ho prenotato una stanza a Valencia tramite Spotahome e al mio arrivo ho trovato una situazione completamente diversa da quella pubblicizzata: la stanza era minuscola, sporca, maleodorante, senza ventilazione e assolutamente NON conforme alle foto e alla descrizione sull’annuncio.
Prima di partire avevo contattato l’agenzia partner indicata da Spotahome chiedendo se fosse necessario aggiornare la data di arrivo. Mi hanno risposto di no, che bastava presentarmi in ufficio. Al mio arrivo il 13/09 ho trovato la casa in condizioni indegne e ho subito inviato foto e prove. Spotahome ha rifiutato qualsiasi rimborso, scaricando la responsabilità sul cliente e negando le proprie colpe, nonostante fosse chiaro che l’alloggio fosse diverso da quello pubblicizzato.
È una piattaforma che non tutela minimamente i consumatori, collabora con agenzie poco trasparenti e poi si lava le mani. Per me si tratta di una vera e propria TRUFFA. Evitate assolutamente di usare questa app: rischiate di perdere soldi e ritrovarvi senza casa!

Don’t use this app
I was a tenant trying to rent a house in Belgium , but after I completed my payment, the whole experience made my life here miserable.
I couldn’t contact my landlord so I couldn’t check in, I was dumped in Belgium and with all of my luggage, this is like a scam app, hope there is no anyone being scammed again

Bad service
I tried to book, but they have very bad rules for people with allergies and expect you to book blindly at full risk for yourself. The service is bad and doesn’t really help and look for solutions only offers more expensive apartments that you have to pay and book before seeing them, without any reference. This also makes it easy for scammers to pretend to be them( I found two websites with the same name pretending to be them) over all a horrible experience

They are such a scam
They don’t even check or verify properties, and when you file a complaint they hit you with “ we can’t do anything and its not out problem “ , once u book through them and they take your money , don’t expect them to give it back or refund or compensate you.
Great apartment, super helpful customer service
Booked an apartment in Milan with Spotahome and it was great — exactly as shown online. The landlord was slow to reply for check-in, but Spotahome’s support jumped in and sorted everything quickly
EVITATE
Peggior truffa mai avuta, non buttate via soldi
Useful app for finding accommodation abroad!
I had an overall good experience with this app and company. The booking process was pretty smooth and whenever I had doubts, their team responded quickly. An issue came up with my original apartment, but they handled it efficiently and helped me find another place without too much stress. Overall, I felt supported throughout the process and I'm happy with the service.
