As a host

As a host, hosting power makes everything so easy and streamlined. They are my first (and only) port of call when advertising a room.

I have hosted successfully in the past and now in the process of doing so again.

I would highly recommend Hosting Power…

I would highly recommend Hosting Power if you are interested in hosting students. Very professional company to deal with. They do all the paperwork out for you and the student you are hosting i.e. general house rules, payment plan etc..The layout of the website is very informative and you have a lot of information about about your guest should you choose to accept a booking.

I have used Host Power as a secure Website to place guests in my home since 2024. I find the site extremely easy to navigate , excellent communication with host power when needed. Provides excellent reassurance that potential guests are fully vetted and security checks provided .
No cost to the host either which is an added bonus . Woukd highly recommend.

Hosting Power was excellent to work with. They found a tenant for my room very quickly and made the whole process simple and stress-free. Communication was professional, efficient, and clear throughout. I was impressed by how fast they matched the room with a suitable tenant. I would highly recommend Hosting Power to anyone looking to let out a room quickly and easily.

New landlady with Hosting Power

I have had just one guest to date, and shes still here. I have just accepted my 2nd guest. I find Hosting Power excellent, and they are all extremely helpful and supportive. I have emailed them several times with queries and they always respond within 24 hrs, which is great.

This site is a scam

This site is a scam, they will €450 and leave you stranded without accomodation. I made a reservation and agreed to a holding fee of €450. The host accepted my booking and then requested alternative checkin dates which I declined. I selected those checkin dates according to my travel plans, it doesn’t satisfy me in anyway to change my entire plans of relocating to a foreign country to suit the hosts convenience. I declined the alternative dates proposed by the host, if she was unable to honour my booking then she shouldn’t have accepted it. I then requested my refund from hostingpower to arrange alternative accomodation, they delayed and dilly dallied trying to avoid abiding by their own terms and conditions that clearly state that I’m entitled to a full refund. I communicated with them the urgency of my situation, I was due to checkout of my hotel and checkin to the hosts property and have no accomodation while they retain my service fee. I checked out and have no reservation for accomodation as every place is fully booked due to concerts. Hostingpower is radio silent and hasn’t released my service fee to enable me to book alternative accomodation. They offered me a rebooking which is only available the following day and not part of their Ts&Cs. As we speak it is after midnight and I’m sitting in a bar stranded without accomodation and without my service fee while I had booked accommodation and made payment. Do NOT use hosting power they are unethical and will take your money and leave you stranded.

Reply from Hosting Power

Hello Alutta,

First and foremost, we are very sorry that your host requested changes to your check-in dates and that you had to decline those changes, which ultimately led to the cancellation of your booking. We completely understand the inconvenience and frustration this caused, particularly given your travel plans and the urgency of securing accommodation.

While the host's request to amend the booking was outside of our control, our team acted immediately by offering you a free relocation on the same day the cancellation occurred. As with all bookings on our platform, both new reservations and relocations operate under the same booking conditions and require a minimum notice period for hosts. As your request was received after 11:00 AM, available accommodation options could only be selected with check-in from the following day onwards.

We appreciate that this may not have met your immediate accommodation needs. However, the relocation option was offered as a way to provide an alternative solution as quickly as possible. We can also confirm that the relocation option remained available but was not used.

As the cancellation occurred over the weekend, we also advised that refunds are processed during business days. In the meantime, we offered the free relocation as the fastest available resolution. We can confirm that your refund has now been processed.

We would also like to kindly recommend, whenever possible, making booking requests a few days in advance to help avoid situations like this and to allow more time for hosts to confirm availability and for any unexpected changes to be resolved more smoothly.

Regards,
Hosting Power Team
