Super solution!
March 11, 2017

La sous-location était un vrai casse-tête pour moi. Heureusement, avec Housing Anywhere, tout est plus simple! Le paiement est sécurisé, la chambre correspond à l'annonce... Un vrai gain de temps!

Housing anywhere is a good option for international students who have trouble finding a home abroad, and the fact that it's safe through the secure booking system is just awesome against scams!

It was easy to find what I was looking for, thanks to these guys, they are just amazing. I am currently even renting out a room, thanks to them again. It's all safe and quite quick, because they work with many Universities too.

Highly Recommended!
November 20, 2016

I found my house using Housing Anywhere. It was fast, convenient, and secure. I'd recommend it to any student.

One problem is that the platform has a shortage of listings compared to the demand of people searching. (However, that's less of an issue with Housing Anywhere and more so an issue of a student population that is outgrowing the city). I hope more and more people will make their rooms available on Housing Anywhere so that more and more students can find housing more easily.

10/10 would recommend!
November 4, 2016

I rented my room out through this platform, and it was so easy to use! The interface is easy to navigate through and very user-friendly. I rented my room out within hours of posting my room on the website to another student! A downside was when I had difficulty removing my room from the website after it has been rented out, but the helpdesk was responsive and helped me with it soon.

This is the best platform to use when you are a student and you go abroad, it is safe and easy to use the best part is that there is no scam. They save your money until you see that it is what you paid for. I recommend it to everybody

Housing Anywhere is an ingenious way of helping both incoming and outgoing exchange students find accommodation whilst in foreign countries. I found it to be safe and easy to access, and would highly recommend to anyone in a similar position. Top marks!

Finding housing in Stockholm, Sweden could be very challenging. Housing Anywhere quire beautifully addresses this gap and facilitates students like me to find exchange in the exchange country. I was really satisfies with the quality of the process and the room quality because usually on other housing platforms, you are not guaranteed about the quality of the room. Housing anywhere takes care of this problem as the rent is only transferred to the landlord once the renter of the room gives a thumbs up. One thing that could be improved is to increase the supply of rooms on the platform so there are more options to choose from.

Amazing
September 8, 2016

I had to move in to Rotterdam in the beginning of July 2016 and I was having big troubles finding a room since I was not still in town. Housing Anywhere was a great solution for my issue since I was very scared of online scams and traps. It took me a bit to find the apartment I wanted but at the end everything worked fine, I made my deposit and I got to the house, which was totally great and everything since then worked perfectly. I would totally recommend the platform.

As an international student finding a place in Rotterdam was hard. My criteria for a new home was to be in my budget, the locations to be good preferably close to my university and last but not least to have nice room mates. I was lucky to use the service of housinganywhere.com. During the whole process of renting my place I felt secure. I knew that I can trust the company. The platform is for international students looking for a room, studio, apartment or a house or even renting out when going abroad. The only negative thing I say about the company is that it took us some time until we got in touch. To sum up, I highly recommend it! Good luck everyone :)) ))

I have had a very bad experience listing my two bedrooms with Housing Anywhere. I have not been paid the first months rent from two different students. The first student moved in on the 23rd. Of July and it is now August 15 and I still haven't been paid. The second student moved in on August 1st and they haven't paid me his money either. I also rented a room to a student for summer school, who then decided to not attend summer school. She wrote to Housing Anywhere saying she would not be attending school, but they did not communicate this to me and I ended up losing the first month rent. There were no apologies. There have been many emails stating the problem with the money. And many excuses as to why I have not been paid, but excuses is all I receive. They also know that I have only two rooms for rent, yet they just wrote to me asking why I was not renting my rooms very poor internal communication. My ratings are from 1 to 10. Business organization and management 0, communication skills 0, dishonesty 10, though this may change if they ever decide to pay me.
