This is kinda of a scam that Hosting Power Get Away it. Host & Guest be aware.

I have hosted for a few years, hosting power never checked my property I was never vetted, guests are not vetted even tough they say they do on their website. All communication is by emails. It was foreign students who booked at first but with the current housing situation you can get all sorts booking as in the case of my last guest showed up drunk, which I cancelled on the spot in the interest of my safety. Please note that the host has nothing to do with the fee that hosting power charge guest so my last guest was confused about the money he paid Hosting power as he taught it was a deposit which is quite steep and non refundable which I do think is very unfair and a scam. Please note that the guest pays one or two weeks deposit to host, which is unfair to host but seems it ok to guest as they have paid a non refundable fee to hosting power. You see the guest for the first time when they check in and you cant ask them questions until you accept their booking. Because I cancelled the last two bookings in the interest of my safety I got suspended probably because they wouldn't refund the guests the money they paid them & the guest gave out to them. You are better off going on daft.ie and interviewing who stays in your house or as tenant going to view a property etc., you can apply the same rules if your want as tenants are very flexible these days plus ask for a months rent deposit while it is 2 weeks max with Hosting power.

Loads of fake ads on daft etc

Loads of fake ads on daft etc. When ever you come across ad by housingpower first check location. Its usually in industrial estate or shopping center etc. Recently theyre flooding market wit fake too good to be true ads but only when you check location you realise its Tersco or something that makes no sense at all.

Reply from Hosting Power

Hello Rob,

Thank you for sharing your concerns.

We’d like to clarify that all listings advertised through Hosting Power are genuine and correspond to real, verified properties with legitimate addresses. There are no fake or misleading listings on our platform.

However, to protect the privacy and security of our hosts and occupants, we do not display the exact address or personal details of any listing on public advertising platforms such as Daft. Instead, a nearby public landmark or establishment (for example, a shopping centre or business area) may be used as a reference point on the ad.

As clearly stated on our website, the actual property is always located within a specific radius of the advertised location and general area, and the precise address is shared with the guest only after a booking is confirmed by the host.

This approach is standard practice in the industry and helps us balance transparency with privacy and safety. If you ever have questions about a specific listing, our support team is always happy to assist.

Kind regards,
Fiona
Hosting Power Team

So helpful and supportive!

I would like to sincerely thank this company for their excellent support and professionalism. I found a room on their website and successfully booked it. My booking was confirmed, and from that moment I truly felt that I was in good and reliable hands.
The team sent emails immediately after my booking was confirmed and provided all the necessary documents. This made me feel safe and confident that I would not lose my money and that I could fully trust them. The payment was not taken immediately; it was only reserved, which gave me even more peace of mind.
I highly recommend this company as a trustworthy and reliable service that truly does its job at a five-star level — or even more. Thank you very much for your help and support. I will definitely contact you again if I need accommodation in the future.
