Spotahome Review - AVOID!!!
As my 1st post, I would like to start by helping travellers and Digital Nomads alike avoid at least some of the scams we have come across on our journey as entrepreneurs whilst being digital nomads. My first post will be reviewing Spotahome. The verdict is AVOID!!! They steal your deposit via fraudulent landlords, don't follow their T&Cs, don't address issues raised within 24 hours of booking, despite promise, ban access to property after taking your rent money, and then refuse to refund you after all this!!! We booked a property for a month in Lisbon in March by the Landlord, Vanda Ferreira Braz Da Silva from Feeling Lisbon via Spotahome. After payment of 2k GBP was sent to Spotahome, the landlord's name was revealed. Looked her up and found lots of independent reviews that she is a SCAM – she doesn't return deposits and abuses guests. We contacted Landlord enquiring about this, explainig we need her to ensure our deposit is returned fairly if nothing was damaged...
