Book with confidence - Verified landlords, secure payments, damage protection, and 24-hour after-arrival protection in case of listing inaccuracies.
Arrival protection
If you find that your apartment is not as advertised, report this to us within 24 hours of move-in, and you’re eligible for a refund. We will transfer your first month's rent to the landlord only if everything is as expected.
Verified landlords
We thoroughly vet all landlords and apartments through our expert onboarding team and use our partner Stripe for added financial verification to ensure end-to-end anti-fraud protection.
Secure payments
We take payment data security seriously. All payments are securely handled by our certified payment provider partner Stripe. Stripe's platform meets the highest security standards worldwide to handle and keep payments safe.
Damage protection: (applicable for bookings only in Spain & France)
Every booking comes with tenant and landlord damage protection. Together with AXA, one of the leading insurance and financial services groups, we have developed a unique and exclusive policy solution tailored to the concept of furnished living.
Terms & Conditions
Each apartment on Homelike is verified by our internal teams. Furthermore, we use a third-party platform for further financial verification through the trusted payments platform, Stripe. Despite this verification, Homelike cannot be held responsible for any information uploaded by our landlords.
All payments are securely handled by our PCI-certified partner Stripe. Stripe’s platform meets the highest certification standards and keeps payments safe. Homelike and Stripe force HTTPS for all services to ensure secure connections.
In the case of a dispute between tenant and landlord, Homelike advises both parties to solve it themselves. If this turns out to be impossible, parties can make their claim with Homelike. The tenant and landlord needs to provide as many details and proof as possible.
Any claim shall be individually assessed by Homelike. Homelike reserves the right to request any relevant document as deemed necessary on a case by case basis. Homelike acts as a moderator to these disputes. After taking all the provided information into consideration, Homelike will suggest solutions to both parties.
Only payments collected by Homelike during the booking confirmation can be covered by ‘The Homelike Promise’.
Every claim needs to be submitted before 6 PM, local time, the day after check-in.
Example: Your move-in date is March 1st, 2022. You need to submit your claim through your Homelike Account, before 6 PM on March 2nd, 2022. Any claim submitted later than this will not be investigated by Homelike.
In case the apartment is not in a state that you can move into, Homelike can support you in finding an alternative apartment with the best efforts.
