Coliving.comReviews of coliving.com

I find myself very happy working with this coliving circuit, it helps me find clients that I otherwise wouldn't be able to reach

Lot of places are listed as available but when booking they are used as short term vacation rentals. This does few things, takes the monthly rentals to high prices, the platform is not for these kind of rentals. " co-Living "

Quickly Efficient & Simple

I spoke with Darlene, she was extremely patient and understanding.

Je trouvais le concept génial pour mon fils qui part en stage à Vancouver. J'ai fais une demande de réservation mais je n'ai jamais eu aucune réponse. Très déçue car mon fils part dans 2 semaines il n'a toujours pas de logement. :(((

I’ll leave my first review hereunder for transparency, but I must absolutely warn everyone about this website and there way of working. There is for sure a complete lack of accountability from their team and very poor price transparency on their website - to keep the story as short as possible, the cost structure on the website in not following European law, and is misleading. I logged a complaint through ECC and they confirm my statement but unfortunately - be aware too – coliving.com is an American platform - so even if they don’t respect European consumer rights, there is nothing that can be done (at least by the free legal services that the ECC offer). The one thing that I find absolutely alarming and just appalling human behaviour is that they actually threatened me in the end with taking an additional >400€ from my account because I wouldn’t fully remove this review and because they didn’t like me taking a stand against their poor price transparency. So, there might be an absolute lack of negative reviews because of this strategy. Also, don’t be fooled by their answer here below, they are not willing to help and they haven’t changed anything on their website since. Finally, I’ll actually get a chargeback through my credit card insurance (fyi, it’s possible if you have been misled too), but please save yourself the hassle and just book directly with the rentals, otherwise there are other platforms to use, this platform offers absolutely nothing except a pretty website, they do not intermediate, they just add a charge and come with a big bag of tactics to avoid any accountability, a very big bag, a huge bag, the biggest bag you have ever seen.. *sigh*… --------------------- INITIAL REVIEW: I booked something yesterday (since my already planned cohousing has one month of delay) - the host told me through whatsapp that there'll be an additional 50% of the month's rent admin charge - The rent was already extremely expensive, almost 900€ (9m2 room) so I would've had to pay an additional 450€. This cost was no where to be found before booking, so my only choice was to cancel - so I lost 120€ in less than 24hours (which was the minimum to pay upfront, only after paying this, was the additional admin fee mentioned).. Lets hope no more scams whilst looking for a one month solution :-( Be very much aware for offerings through this website, there's a big financial risk :-(

Stayed in numerous coliving spaces with these guy over the last few years. Had no issues. Will continue to use them.

Coliving is a fantastic concept I hope that more places will be opened up in the future. My first experience was five stars!
