Great platform - would use again

Great platform - had a cleaner accept my job in less than an hour, very good service at a competitive rate. I am not sure how much the platform pays the cleaners, I hope they get a fair rate. Flat was spotless and very friendly cleaner.

Not happy about the app or website

Not happy about the app or website. Can't do much with it, and no changes to an unconfirmed booking. I haven't even had a cleaner yet and had to contact customer service 3x already. No place to put referral codes in the app or mobile site, again had to contact support. Sighh... all this time spent trying to get a cleaner I could have cleaned the house myself!

Hi there,

Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately, customers are currently unable to make any changes to requests without contacting our support team who are available via SMS and email. Referral codes should be added at the time of booking, however, if you forget, can be added manually by us post booking. Your feedback is appreciated and we're always striving to improve our customer satisfaction and hope to resolve such issues as soon as we can.

Kind regards,

Your Helpling Team

I found a good cleaner on Helping

I found a good cleaner via the platform and I am happy with my first clean. However, the platform can be improved as the interfaces are not helping when you need to do changes to your requests. I hope this will be taken on board as a constructive feedback, as I found it difficult to connect with somebody for support while trying to cancel request.

It's OK

It's OK, but would appreciate to have more flexibility for how often I want my clean g to be. Currently it's just weekly or bi-weekly. Monthly would be nice too.

Hi Inga,

Thanks for your review, we sorry that you found our service only worthy of 3 stars.

Unfortunately, monthly bookings are not available as majority cleaners found that it was not beneficial for them or their calendars. An alternative would be to book a one-off every month.

Useful, but app needs work!

The concept is good and useful, however the app has so much going wrong with it that needs immediate improvement. Not being able to delete booking requests yourself is the main issue. To have anything deleted, even pending requests, you need to message customer service which is a huge pain and is not always very responsive and quick.
The search results for cleaners is also lacking, most of the time I can't find any cleaners, even though if I wait a few days someone within my requirements will assign themselves to my booking, so where were they when I was searching to request to start with?

In addition, having a look at invoices - the company takes quite a lot from the total payment. For example, from a £29 payment, the cleaner only gets £20; £8 goes to a service fee, and a platform/support fee... and considering the platform is not very technical and you are unable to make any changes through the app, I'm not sure what this fee is going to.

Hi Adesi,

Thanks for your review. All feedback is greatly appreciated as it really helps us to identify what needs to be improved to help us with complete customer satisfaction. The points you have mentioned have been noted and passed on to senior management.

In regards to your search results, these are based on the cleaners availabilities and what they have selected as their available days, times and locations. If a request is taking a little longer to be confirmed, it is opened up to other cleaners, who are able to opt in to the request if they see on that suits them. This explains why you are sometimes assigned a cleaner a few days later and why they were not available in your search.

In regards to the payment breakdown, each of the cleaners are free to set their own rates per hour, whilst doing so, they can see exactly what they will receive per hour and what the customer will receive per hour. The service and platform fees go towards helping us build a better product, which is not limited to just the technical app/website side of things.

Kind regards,

Your Helpling Team

Expensive

My cleaner this time was great. I find Helpling to be very expensive but worthwhile if I’m desperate
Better to get someone through a local advert or recommendation so that you are paying direct.
Helpling works for me if my regular help is away.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that we're a useful service for you when you're regular cleaner is away but sorry to hear that you find the service expensive. The cleaners on the platform all set their own rates per hour and you do have the choice of selecting a price range.

If you need a cleaner in future and would like some help with getting a cleaner at a lower price, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

Your Helpling Team
