Spotahome: Online rentals

Spotahome Ltd.

About this app

Spotahome follows a similar business model to online holiday rentals but instead focuses on finding you a home for stays of 30 days or longer. We are a 100% online booking platform, offering an exhaustive list of apartments, rooms, studios, and student residences. We’re for anyone, regardless of age or professional status.

The Spotahome experience removes the need for in-person viewings, saving both tenants and landlords the time and expense. We take professional photos, design floor plans, and record high-definition videos of the property and neighborhood. We also write detailed descriptions of the home and local area.

We play a pivotal role in eliminating communication and language barriers between local landlords and foreign tenants by offering excellent customer support in several languages on both sides.

Ratings and reviews

Ui is painful, website is better so far. I opened the app, logged in, searched one location, no idea how to go back and search another city 😂 if I go filters and back it just goes back to the map. If I reset the filters back to the map. If I close and reopen, back to same location.. if I scroll on the map, it still only shows places that are in the searched location. As a mobile dev myself, I am confused af. Overall love the concept of spotahome and want to use the service.

It doesn't quite deserve 1 star as well, most flawed system ever, don't book places from these guys (especially international people or students). They say that homes are verified, but most of the houses even though they look good, are temporarily repaired and maintained, so once you move in, you are going to realise almost everything has some or the other issue. Also the worst part is you can't review houses or rate the house and landlord, so when you move in, you are completely oblivious.

It was a truly horrible experience : I requested a booking, it got accepted, they got the money, then they canceled my bookings, and told me that i can use that payment on another booking, so i made another booking, then they decided to take forever to reply to my emails, didn't use the payment from before, then this booking got canceled again. I am still waiting for my refund, truly the worst experience ever.
