WARNING
*WARNING: Scam and Health Hazard – Avoid Luxarental at All Costs*
We rented a house via Luxarental from May 15th to 19th, 2025, and it was a complete disaster.
There were insects literally everywhere – inside the house, in the furniture, and especially in the swimming pool, where the tiles were loose and the bottom was filled with dead bugs. The air conditioning on the first floor didn’t work. The beds looked like they were borrowed from a prison, and the terrace was full of cigarette butts – unacceptable with a 3-year-old child.
After just 12 hours, we had to flee the house for health and safety reasons. When I later returned to collect a toy and leave the keys properly, the landlord had locked the house with a metal gate – without notice. They refused to come out or respond.
Four weeks later, a Luxarental employee contacted us, offering to refund the €500 deposit only if we signed a confidentiality agreement. I refused, and they withheld the money.
Booking.com has been equally disappointing – generic AI replies, broken promises, and no real support despite my Genius 3 status, which appears to be worthless when real issues arise.
Two months later, we have received nothing back – no deposit, no refund – despite having full documentation, pictures, and recordings. We’ve now hired a lawyer and will be warning others through every possible platform.
