Great stay, good communication and everything was as advertised.

Houst is an excellent host—very kind and reliable. The place was spotless, and communication was smooth and prompt throughout the stay. I would happily stay here again the next time I’m in town.

Beautiful location, close to wonderful restaurants, shops, parks and the greater Cape Town. Fully equipped apartment with all the needed amenities. We had a wonderful stay. Definitely can recommend.

Clean place great for a solo traveller
Security is also good

Complete disappointment. Don’t trust this company!! Signed up in October to rent our house while travelling. Initially from mid Jan - mid March. Despite spending lots of time and money getting everything set up on our end - it took them until February to actually get the property up online - losing us months of potential bookings. In that whole time - they managed to get us one booking (worth £350 but we pocketed only £20!!). Not surprising as the listings completely undersold the property and felt robotic and cold.

It was a huge stress (despite their promise to ‘remove headaches’) and felt like we were having to hold their hand the entire time. Mistake after mistake - we just lost all trust in them. Cost us thousands in lost bookings and our house has been empty for most of our travels (which added so much stress - we aren’t professional landlords, we are a young couple. I’ve had to take on lots more work while travelling just to pay for this which has really impacted our trip).

Wish we could turn back time because this was an utter fail. Houst is clearly set up to channel money AWAY from the property owner. Please use our terrible experience and AVOID.

Stay was amazing. All essential was provided. Center of town, everything just a walk away.

The entire process from booking to check in/out was seamless.
The flat is immaculate and the neighborhood is among my favorite for easy transport and a calm atmosphere. Lots of great food options and a stones throw from great sights. We will be back again in June

Perfect location and very comfortable

Everything was clean and in good condition for the stay.

Fast communication and help before while and after the trip; easy checkin an checkout

Fantastic location, peaceful and secluded, yet right in the heart of Melbourne. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Highly recommended!

This was a great property to stay in, so clean and tidy, very practical and comfy

My time with Houst was a financial disaster. On average I made around a third of what they 'estimated'. They will now probably blame it on my property, but I did rent out the exact same property by myself and made 3x as much. They also heavily overcharge on cleaning fees and maintenance/repairs.

From start to finish the communication was really great which made me feel very secure about the booking. The accommodation was comfy, cosy and had everything we needed.

Great apartment management company. Our holiday apartment was clearly well maintained: it was perfectly clean, the linens felt luxurious, and the decor was stylish.

Airbnb was really nice go stay in. Communication from host was great. Would definitely recommend this platform for booking a stay!

Excellent communication and no issues at all with our stay. Highly recommended

Perfect location - absolutely top quality standard of cleanliness and utilities.

The apartment is spacious, modern and clean with a large selection of modern appliances and technology. The furniture is clean and comfortable and well arranged.

A very helpful and responsive company; thank you
