The platform offers high-quality apartment photographs and accurate descriptions of your potential future home. Unlike many other accommodation portals in the market, tenants don’t pay any fees to use Homelike’s services (except in Spain).

Homelike’s most popular features include:

Instant booking filter: Tenants prefer not to wait for their booking to be accepted, while Landlords don’t want to lose a booking to another supplier. That’s why Instant Booking is a win-win for both parties. By using the instant book filter, tenants can easily find apartments that can be booked directly without waiting for the home owner’s approval.

Free cancellation filter: Homelike’s free cancellation filter allows users to find apartments that can be canceled up to 2 days before move-in.

Deposit-free filter: It is often next to impossible to find apartments that don’t require a security deposit. Homelike’s No Deposit filter allows you to easily find apartments that don’t have a deposit requirement.

Pets allowed filter: It’s no secret that moving with your fur family can be an agonizing experience. Many homeowners and rental property providers simply don’t allow pets. Even when there is no blanket ban, pet-friendly apartments come with a hefty price tag and often an additional pet deposit. Homelike’s Pets Allowed filter helps you navigate this labyrinth of difficulties to find homes that welcome your pets with open arms.

Is it safe to rent through Homelike during COVID-19?

To help meet the expectations of pandemic-era travelers, Homelike has launched an Enhanced Hygiene Initiative based on guidelines and recommendations from the world’s leading health organizations. The company has been actively encouraging its homeowners to crank up their game by adopting its 6 enhanced cleaning protocols. Now, what does this mean for you?

Apartments that have opted into Homelike’s Enhanced Safety Standards will display an associated badge to highlight this criterion and take a higher priority in how they appear in apartment search results. An example of Homelike’s enhanced safety protocols is that homeowners are required to keep the apartment vacant for at least 24 hours after a tenant moves out other than for cleaning and sanitization.
