Excellent experience with Luxe Nest Services
I had an excellent experience with Luxe Nest Services. They delivered a top-tier post-occupancy clean—every detail was handled with care, and the place was left absolutely spotless. The team was professional, efficient, and very thorough throughout the process.
What really stood out was their flexibility—they accommodated me with same-day service, which was a huge help. They also came fully prepared with their own cleaning products and equipment, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free.
On top of that, their pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work delivered. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and meticulous cleaning service.

Have had terrible results with web development leads from Bark. Most leads don’t even respond and those that do are often not ready or are just testing the water. I have wasted over $1500 on leads with minimal work to show for it.

Hi David,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be.
We’re disappointed to hear that the web development leads you received did not result in meaningful work, and that many of the customers did not respond or were not ready to proceed. We understand how this can feel like a poor return on investment, especially after significant spend.
Customer requests are submitted by individuals actively looking for services, but we recognise that intent and readiness can vary, and not every lead will convert into a job.
Your feedback is important, and we will ensure it is shared with the relevant team for review as we continue working to improve lead quality and matching.
If you would like us to review your account and specific leads in more detail, please contact us at reviews@bark.com and we’ll be happy to help.

BARK.COM IS A HUGE SCAM
BARK.COM IS A HUGE SCAM. FAKE LEADS ARE BEING POSTED SO THE USERS SPEND CREDITS WHICH ARE NEVER RETURNED
Response to reply from Bark.
This is your generic response. Even after multiple times requesting a credit for a lead in which the homeowner said he made a mistake and wasn't looking for the service that was posted,
After fighting with Bark for a refund here is there response
Your request (9993869) has been updated. Simply reply to this email to add any further updates or comments.
------------------------------------------
Hi there,
Thanks for getting in touch.
We couldn't verify the issue with your lead, so we're unable to refund the credits used.
If you are able to provide us with evidence, such as a text or email, we will be happy to look at this for you.
You can click this link to see our credit return policy.
Important considerations:
We can only investigate leads between the hours of 8am and 8pm Monday-Friday, and between 10am and 6pm during weekends.
You must report all leads within 14 days of purchase to be eligible for a return.
We will not investigate leads during public and bank holidays.
You can find more information about credits and billing here.
Kind regards,
Ashwathy
This is also my reply I. Which they didnt respond.
Good morning
Unfortunately, I am not going to take this answer that you can not refund my credits. This is absolutely bullshit that as the only contractor that has paid for the service, tried on multiple times to connect with the client with no reply from them and then they cancel their posting. This person should be banned. This is happening all the time with people not responding. How is it fair that we are paying $40-$60 per lead with no recourse for the original poster not responding. We spend good money to answer these leads. BARK needs to do better to protect the contractors as well. You have all these things to protect the client but nothing to protect the contractor from shitty people wasting our time and money.
Here is a screenshot of all my messages being read and not answered until yesterday. I've also left phone messages with no response.
Please refund my credits
I have also witnessed many times the same lead come through with different phone numbers to contact. These are leads that are supposedly from real clients and are requesting that I contact them directly. This is a SCAM and Bark does nothing for it , I believe this is just employees of BARK creating the leads themselves for money.
Good luck trying to het any refunds for credits purchased through here
I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE CREDITS TO STILL USE AND WISH I NEVER HAD SPENT A DIME ON THIS SCAM.
MY ACCOUNT IS PRESTIGE HOME INNOVATIONS AND DESIGN JUST SO YOU KNOW I AM A REAL COMPANY
Its too bad we can't post screenshots as I have many requests for my money back denied for fake leads

Poor Quality False Leads
Was explained that only 1 in 10 leads get a response and would be refunded if not. Each lead is costing me over £10 and out of 15 leads made no contact. £150 down the drain. Tried to email, call, whatsapp and SMS customers. Some blocked me. Bark is a scam operation selling false leads, promising refunds and then relying on a awful refund policy
