### 4/5 — Anzahl der Haustiere

*2025-01-12*

An und für sich eine tolle App, aber als Mehrhunde Halter ist es ziemlich nervig, wenn man jedes Angebot erst mit dem Start der Buchung auf Anzahl der Haustiere prüfen kann und dann immer wieder feststellen muss, nur 1 Haustier erlaubt. Ich möchte schon im Vorfeld die für mich passenden Angebote filtern und nicht mich durch unzählige, unpassende Angebote klicken müssen. Andere Anbieter sind da schon einen ganzen Schritt weiter. Daher ist Hometogo nicht meine erste Wahl bei der Urlaubssuche.

### 3/5 — Filter funktionieren nicht

*2024-09-06*

Eigentlich eine sehr tolle App. Leider werden mir aber trotz Filter auch Unterkünfte angezeigt, in denen keine Hunde erlaubt sind. Schon ein paar mal fast gebucht - das wäre teuer geworden. So erschwert es nur erheblich die Suche.

**Developer response:** Hi  Flameflower,

vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Ihr Feedback ist uns wichtig. 

Wir freuen uns über Anregungen und Verbesserungsvorschläge zu unserer App, die Sie zu einer 5-Sterne Bewertung bewegen könnten. 

Kontaktieren Sie uns gerne über apps@hometogo.de.

Beste Grüße,
Ihr Hometogo-Team

### 2/5 — Schade um die App

*2024-07-07*

Ich nutze die App schon länger, und war bisher recht zufrieden. 
Leider werden die eingestellten Angebote scheinbar nicht genügend geprüft, so das es vor allem bei der Anwendung von Filtern zu unerwünschten Ergebnissen kommt. 
Wenn ich ein FerienHAUS suche, und mir dann massenweise Zimmer, Wohnungen und Apartments ab 15 qm angeboten werden ist die Suche sinnlos! 
Ebenso sollten die Filter erweitert werden. Beispielsweise fehlt der Filter Privater Pool.

### 1/5 — Ignore the good reviews they are all fake

*2024-06-13, version 12.30.0*

Please guys dont use them . The amout of stress they couse you insane 
They are scammer you will get sooo many double bookings with them insane 
They will charge you fees even why it is not your foult i synced my calendars always still grt double booking never .Guy be aware of this site

### 1/5 — Reservation cancelled on me

*2024-05-06*

My booking was cancelled without my knowledge or consent or notification. I had been charged over $1500 and was not being refunded. HomeToGo was unable to help me in getting a refund or figuring out what happened. I spent a month of back and forth getting nowhere…..not even so much as an acknowledgment that there was an issue and that they were sorry for what happened. I found out what happened by chance - very easily could have arrived without a place to stay. Beware

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to explain the issue you’re facing. 
We are very sorry to hear that you had such inconveniences.
We are constantly working to prevent such issues, but it seems that we are still not good enough. Not only that, but we promise to continue working on it.
All the best! Your team from HomeToGo

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-05-03*

I was scammed after using this app. I booked a home through here for the weekend and it was cancelled without my knowledge and now it’s the day of my trip and we have nowhere to stay. This is very bad business practice going on here and there are numerous reviews saying how people have been scammed off this app/website.

**Developer response:** Dear TrapaveliTre, 
Thank you for your message and constructive criticism. If a booking was cancelled by the partner, it looks not like a scam but like a calendar issue of the partner.
We understand that it was a bad experience for you when using our app and apologize for it. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us via phone or chat.
Best regards, Your HomeToGo Team

### 1/5 — No Stars

*2024-03-05*

Why is it you show the date and price saying total amount…..then you click on it and price goes to screen showing higher price …that’s not including fees and taxes ….then when you book total prices comes up a couple thousand more then the start amount….no thanks…..very misleading

**Developer response:** We are deeply sorry that you faced this, but the total price with fees and taxes is shown before you finish the booking. We try to indicate the price as transparently as possible. Unfortunately, in some properties the taxes and fees are very high, so it looks as if the price is doubled. We have no influence on this.

### 4/5 — Tolle und übersichtliche App…

*2024-02-11*

….aber:
Ich finde es schade, dass bei gesetztem Filter „Haustier erlaubt“ mir dennoch viele Unterkünfte angezeigt werden, bei denen kein Haustier erlaubt ist. 

Wenn dies korrigiert wird, gibt es sofort 5 Sterne von mir

**Developer response:** Hi, danke für Ihr Feedback und die Zeit, die Sie sich für die Bewertung genommen haben. 

Wenn es in einem Gebiet, in dem Sie suchen, keine Unterkünfte gibt, die 100 % Ihren Filtern entsprechen, bietet Ihnen das System Objekte an, die einen Filter Punkt weniger haben. Ich gebe Ihren Hinweis dennoch noch einmal an die Technik weiter.



Beste Grüße,
Ihr HomeToGo-Team

### 3/5 — Difficult to search For Pets

*2023-12-01, version 12.7.0*

We have 5 dogs. When browsing the pet friendly cottages, it is so difficult to find how many dogs they allow. Have to open up the cottages and hope it says somewhere in the description. 
I won’t be using this app as it makes an already difficult job (finding a cottage that accepts 5 dogs) even harder.

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2023-11-21*

Booked for the first time, there was an error in the email although logged into my account on the app somehow the reservation was put under the erroneous email. 
Tried to call nobody answered the phone. Sent emails and they took days to respond if they ever responded. 
Going on over a month now past the reservation date and the original reservation. I still can’t get any help. Had to pay for another hotel because I could not get in contact with HomesToGo and Expedia wouldn’t help although the hotel said they received the booking through Expedia. It has been a nightmare of a time to deal with especially while trying to host family visiting us at our base overseas to see our newborn. 

Numerous emails AND calls 30+ days still no help, resolution, or response. WILL NOT BE USING THIS APP HOMESTOGO OR EXPEDIA EVER AGAIN. 
Cannot recommend to enough people NOT to use them.

### 2/5 — Map View Useless, makes app useless to me. Pity

*2023-07-18*

The whole point of the map view is to click on the property you want to see. But the app doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t event highlight the property on the map when you select it or the compare option in the results list.  Basically your only option is to shop by photo and look at the location AFTER wasting your time finding its in the wrong part of town you want to stay.  Personally, it renders the whole app nearly useless for me.

**Developer response:** Hi Avgaz,
Thank you for taking the time to explain the issue you're facing. We are very sorry to hear that you are having problems with the HomeToGo app and therefore we would appreciate if you could give us more information about it. Could you please send us an email to apps@hometogo.com with more details?
Best regards, Your HomeToGo Team

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2023-07-07, version 11.4.0*

The pricing on Home ToGo is 50% less than when it redirects you to Vrbo. An app that is consistently crashing, which is why I looked for other booking options. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Misleading prices

*2023-06-26, version 11.3.2*

Misleading prices, property shows a price and then at checkout the price x3 or even 4x times higher. At least show a near price to real. Do we don’t waste time

### 1/5 — Do not trust

*2026-06-10*

Spent hours researching rentals only to go book and place and it says those dates aren’t available and no this wasn’t because someone booked it. We put in our dates and it was available supposedly still on homestogo but then it sends you to VRBO where it isn’t. So they are basically middle men and not good ones even. Deleted and also not sure what people are smoking to give 4.8. Wow

### 1/5 — Misleading titles fir the holidays they advertise

*2026-06-08, version 26.05.2500*

I booked a two day break to Cornwall on 18th May. I put into my options that I wanted a beach view and dog friendly place. When I arrived it a house with an apartment at the bottom in the middle of a Forrest. Absolutely no beach view at all. It was in the middle of forest with just tall trees as the view.  it was pitch black at night time where I couldn’t walk the dog. The holiday was basically ruined because the nearest beach was a 35 minute walk away. The reason I needed a beach view with a short walk to the beach was because I have a child with a disability who can’t walk very far.  I have emailed numerous times and nobody replies back.  I don’t know what the point of the app is or the chat option on here because it is absolutely useless, they just tell you to email to which they don’t respond  I would avoid it all costs and seeing from their other trustpilot views. It’s not a good outcome with 2.1 rating.

### 1/5 — Unhelpful

*2026-03-19, version 26.03.0600*

Cottages look great but why hide the location

### 1/5 — Très cher

*2025-12-31*

Plus cher que sur d’autres sites

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-12-28, version 25.12.1700*

What’s the point of an app that shows you a list of available locations for the selected dates, except when you click on each one, it then says “unavailable “?

### 1/5 — This app is a scam delete this now

*2025-04-07*

This app is a scam. Delete this app now It is not worth the money or the time they stole my money and I still haven’t received my money in days nor have I even received a text message or email don’t even bother opening up the app or downloading it

### 1/5 — Mad

*2025-03-06, version 25.02.2600*

Booked our Cabin then randomly got canceled. Over 400$ called them they said it was something todo with my payment that it should be back on my card with 5-7 days. I’m beyond mad.

### 1/5 — No!

*2025-02-27, version 25.02.2200*

If I ask for something in RHODE ISLAND, do not offer places in Washington DC!!!!!🤬

### 1/5 — Bad search functionality

*2024-09-21, version 12.43.0*

The search functionality needs a lot of improvement. I tried searching for Stanislaus National Forest and couldn’t. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Listings/Pricing is VERY misleading

*2024-08-18, version 12.37.0*

You’ll see a house that says “$700 including fees, excluding taxes.” Then you click the booking button and the price doubles. There isn’t a 100% lodging tax in Oregon. Garbage app.

### 5/5 — Amazing and Easy to use

*2026-05-24, version 26.05.1900*

I had a great experience using this app.it was easy to navigate,booking was quick and there are many beautiful options to choose from

### 5/5 — Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

*2025-05-22*

Wir waren nun schon das zweite mal in diesem Ferienhaus. Es gibt ein neues Sofa, die Wände erstrahlen in einem frischen weiß und die Matratzen sind auch neu. Hier hat sich über den Winter was getan. Die Agentur ist nach wie vor herzlich unkompliziert. Wir fühlen uns hier sehr wohl und kommen immer wieder gerne.

### 5/5 — Absolute best place!

*2025-02-02*

We loved the Lavendel house! It was the perfect getaway. The speakeasy room is a wonderful place to just sit and relax. The hot tub felt great with the cooler nights! Everything was user friendly and comfy! Would definitely stay here again and again!

### 5/5 — Lovely place

*2024-09-28, version 12.44.0*

We needed to get away from the stresses of life for a few days 😀

This was it, really nice place, very spacious and clean and a couple of minutes walk to the train station and a few minutes drive to some stunning walks. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Sandseekers

*2024-09-15*

We booked through sandseeker in Panama city and stayed at Aqua Vista. Amazing room!! Clean, not outdated and we loved it being a gated Condo!! Definitely will return and recommend to anyone!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 🌟 We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Aqua Vista and appreciated the clean, modern room and the added security of a gated condo. It’s wonderful to know you’d recommend us and plan to return—your feedback means the world to us!
