HouseHunting Recensioni 

I rented a house with HouseHunting in May 2025 at Bredaseweg 204 in Tilburg. Worst decision ever. The company is highly unprofessional, and I deeply regret doing this.
First of all, the agent was selling dreams. He promised numerous things and after signing the contract, he vanished and left us with the company's general office.
If you ever have a problem, good luck reaching them. phone calls are often left to voicemail, and emails are regularly left unanswered for weeks.
Then, there are the invoices. Almost every month, we received a new surprise invoice that we had to pay. On one occasion, they even forgot to send us the invoice and directly started threatening us with legal actions and court fees.
The invoices were always vague. When you asked for an explanation, they insisted everything was correct but never actually gave an answer. One example is how we were paying for a cleaner, while the building was really filthy, especially the common areas. And for 1+ years living there, I never saw a person to actually clean.
The second thins, the building was old and the apartments were on the last floor. In the summer, the heat was unbearable. This year, the indoor temperature reached 35-36 Celsius. Before signing the contracts, the agent promised to several tenants that an AC is going to be installed. This never happened. In my opinion, there was never a plan for this.
The best part came in November-December 2025, when the boiler of the building broke. This meant to heating or hot water. In the middle of the winter. We lived for a week with indoor temperature of 12 degrees. The agency did not answer our phone calls and emails for 3-4 days. After that, they started looking for a technician and could not find any. At the end, someone came and "fixed it", just so that the boiler broke again in 2 days. Some of the other tenants browsed online and found that this is a recurring problem with the building and we were not the first complaining. HouseHunting never fixed it however.
This continued for months. It was finally fixed in April-May. When in March I called them for this problem, the employee had the audacity to tell me that she cannot do anything about it and she is not responsible for the repair works.
Additionally, the building is extremely noisy because of the students living there. They regularly have parties and blast music. People are drunk, puking on the stairs, leaving their garbage, and slamming doors. There is also an inner courtyard where they regularly gather and drink until midnight and even after that. It creates an echo and you can literally hear what they are talking about, despite having 4 floor between them and you.
Before we rented, the agent assured us they have a direct communication with the students and that they do not cause any disturbance.
The final straw came when we gave them our 1 month notice. HouseHunting wanted to organize new viewings 3 weeks before the end date. We explained that on the dates they proposed we were abroad and moreover, we have not even started packing, so we would prefer a date closer to the end of the month. Their response was to threaten us us direct deductions of our 3000+ euro deposit if we do not comply with their demands.
Even when we moved out, the problems continued. We could not get our deposit for more than a month, even though they promised to return it in 2 weeks time. Three weeks after we moved out, they sent us an invoice for some additional fees. I spoke with someone over the phone, they promised me this should not be paid by us. And later they just deducted the 200 euro from the deposit and told us they are entitled to this money.
Keep in mind that I could not copy-paste this and it is all hand-written. This is how satisfied I am with HouseHunting.
I would never ever rent with them again. Being homeless seems like a better idea. For sure a cheaper one.

This company is full of scammers and charlatans. They will reply to you only if they have decided that you need to pay for something, without giving any explanation whatsoever. The only reason they are still in business is the housing crisis in this country. If you have another option I would definitely recommend NOT using HouseHunting.

Dit bedrijf brengt kosten in rekening die nooit gemaakt zijn. Schimmige eindfacturen, schoonmaakkosten, en een borg die niet wordt teruggestort. Dit bedrijf is er maar met één doel en dat is zoveel mogelijk verdienen aan de huurder.
Je bent gewaarschuwd!

Sinds mijn huurappartement is verkocht en Househunting Arnhem het beheer van het pand heeft overgenomen, valt het huis letterlijk uit elkaar door gebrek aan onderhoud. Er wordt niet reageert op mijn verzoeken voor reparaties en er zijn kosten in rekening gebracht die niet in mijn contract staan. Afgelopen maand heb ik een maand lang geen warm water gehad omdat de cv-ketel doorgebrand was wegens achterstallig onderhoud. Ik vind het absoluut onacceptabel hoe er met huurders wordt omgegaan. Ik ben niet van plan dit hierbij te laten en zal verdere stappen ondernemen.

It's about Utrecht branch. Initial communication and all went well with them.once I vacated rental properly the deposit was not returned for around 60 days. They responded only once for my initial email stating they are calculating Utility and will return asap. But on my second reminder around 30th day , no response . I keep followed up and sent legal notice to their address but it returned back to me mentioned as incorrect address. Then they processed deposit and shared invoice for utility around 59th day from date of vacating house. No split bills was shared and invoice clearly mentioned me to pay before a specific date , but next day I got deposit refund with amount deducted. They did unauthorized deduction from my deposit without my consent or permission. The utility split bills are not yet shared . On top of it they also charged 45 EUR admin fee which is not correct practice.

Please avoid this agency and stay away .

Update:
I received Split for utility from househunting on Jul 20, 2026 around 10:52 PM

For their response : It didn't justify that you deduct the amount from deposit by yourself without asking my permission. I have waited for 60 days to get my hard earned money . But househunting did unauthorized deduction from deposit in next day of sending utility invoice without explanation and not even getting my consent . I am reviewing the bills . I am going to report this practice with ACM.

I tried to call, they are extremely rude and do not reply to emails. Do not recommend.

Op de website van een nieuwbouwproject van huurwoningen in Rijswijk ("The Steps Rijswijk") staat onder de projectinformatie: "64 appartementen vanaf € 1.600,- per maand". Echter, in het overzicht met alle bouwnummers staat geen enkele woning vanaf € 1.600,00.

Ik heb navraag gedaan bij de verhuurmakelaar Househunting en krijg als reactie: "De goedkoopste huurwoningen starten met een maand bedrag van €1.995,00 exclusief per maand". Op mijn vraag waarom er op de website wordt gezegd dat er woningen vanaf € 1.600,00 te huur zijn krijg ik geen antwoord meer.

Ik ben van mening dat er op de website onjuiste informatie wordt gegeven over de hoogte van de huurprijzen, hetgeen mij misleiding lijkt.

Wij zijn erg goed geholpen en begeleid door Shirley en Maarten!

I requested documentation for registration at the municipality (BSN / city hall registration) over 10 days ago and have not received any response by email or phone. I also sent numerous messages via WhatsApp without any reply. The only staff member who responded refused to even confirm the agency’s address.
I went in person to the Rotterdam office on Friday at 14:00, and there was nobody there despite it being within business hours.
Communication is fast only before signing the contract. After the contract is signed, support and communication become very poor, with a lack of response and clear disregard for customer service.

🇳🇱 Nederlandse versie

Ik heb meer dan 10 dagen geleden documentatie aangevraagd voor inschrijving bij de gemeente (BSN / gemeenteregistratie) en tot op heden geen reactie ontvangen via e-mail of telefoon. Ook heb ik meerdere berichten via WhatsApp gestuurd zonder enige reactie. De enige medewerker die reageerde weigerde zelfs het adres van het kantoor te bevestigen.
Ik ben op vrijdag om 14:00 persoonlijk naar het kantoor in Rotterdam gegaan, maar er was niemand aanwezig, ondanks dat het binnen de openingstijden was.
De communicatie is alleen snel vóór het ondertekenen van het contract. Na het tekenen van het contract is de ondersteuning en communicatie erg slecht, met weinig tot geen reactie en duidelijke desinteresse in klantcontact.

Great Services, but cost is high.

Goede ervaring met Shirley, bedankt voor de leuke woning!

Ik heb HH Den Bosch ingeschakeld om een wisseling van huurders voor mij te doen (vanuit het buitenland).
Het hele proces, inclusief background check nieuwe huurder, opstellen huurcontract, en in/uitcheck met oude en nieuwe huurder is prima verlopen en tegen een schappelijke prijs.
Prima service. Maarten is zeer prettig om mee te werken en reageert snel en accuraat op emails.

Ik begon de zoektocht met lichte woningstress en eindigde met een sleutel in mijn hand en een grote glimlach op mijn gezicht. Dat is toch een soort magie.

Kortom:
Wil je een huurwoning zonder drama, zonder eindeloos wachten en zonder dat je langzaam verandert in een refresh-knop op je laptop? Dan moet je Shirley en Maarten hebben.

Sneller, duidelijker en relaxter kan bijna niet. Absolute toppers! 🙌😄

Percy : Thank you to him for his kindness! And his quick response saved me from a very embarrassing situation.

I sincerely thank him!

Netjes optijd bij alle afspraken, goed geinspecteerd, niks op aan te merken!

Goed geholpen! Percy had me goed geholpen.

Percy have been very professional and helpful! Totally recomend this guy !

We zijn snel en adequaat geholpen door HH. We hadden een verhuur verzoek voor de korte termijn voor een relatief korte periode. Dit hebben ze snel en professioneel geregeld. Het systeem is bewezen snel en effectief opgesteld

If you’re an international person, avoid buying their subscription. They never offer visits or apartments, so it’s a waste of money.
