The ease of the booking process was my favourite aspect of it. I didn't have to move back and forth a lot. Planning the trip was less stressful because everything was fairly clear from the beginning.

We stayed in a 6-bedroom villa in Marbella for a family holiday. The house matched the photos and everything was organised clearly before arrival. Airport transfers and a private chef were arranged without any issues. Travelling with kids felt much easier than expected.

Gorgeous villa with a few minor issues!
I recently stayed in one of their villas in Marbella. Although this isn't always the case, the location itself was breathtaking and matched the pictures. During check-in, there were a few small problems, but they were resolved rather quickly.

My partner and I spent the final week of December in Lanzarote. Sunshine and peace were what we were primarily searching for, and we found both. We cooked a few nights rather than eating out because the kitchen was better equipped than we were expecting. It was easy to communicate and not intrusive. From reservation to departure, everything proceeded without any problems.

The villa was perfect for the Christmas week we spent in Marbella with our grandparents and children. Everyone could easily have their own space without feeling isolated thanks to the layout. Carlos was helpful prior to arrival, particularly with check-in information, which helped to ease the stress of the journey. Although the neighborhood was quiet, there were still plenty of dining options nearby.

Group golf trip with friends. Convenient location near courses and good outdoor space to unwind in the evenings. Everything was arranged clearly beforehand.

Dear Raul, thanks for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Lodgerstrip villas.
Please stay away from this company
Please stay away from this company. They are a scam. We had the most horrible experience i marbella on a family vacation. Handed the house DIRTY, and after a lot of sketchiness and lies, they promised us a reimbursement and i am still waiting for it. Last email i received from them was more than 6 months ago and haven’t received the reimbursement. Stay away pls. I don’t want anyone experience what we did with kids.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we understand how disappointing that can feel—especially when traveling with family.
To clarify for future readers, this villa is professionally managed on-site by a local management company, who handled check-in, cleaning, maintenance, and guest support directly throughout the stay. During your visit, additional cleanings were arranged in response to your concerns, and the stay was completed in full. Your refundable security deposit was also returned after check-out in line with the agreed terms.
Regarding the reimbursement mentioned, the request relates to a claim beyond the standard rental terms and is subject to review and approval by the property’s managing agency. We have formally raised this with them and are still awaiting their position, as final decisions in such cases rest with the property management and owner.
We take all guest feedback seriously and always aim to act as a transparent intermediary between guests and property managers. We regret that this matter remains unresolved at this stage and remain open to continuing discussions once the managing agency provides their response.
We appreciate you bringing your concerns forward and wish you and your family all the best going forward.

Our original villa in Lanzarote was cancelled shortly before arrival due to unexpected damage, which was initially stressful. However, Lodgerstrip immediately upgraded us to a better villa at no extra cost. The replacement exceeded our expectations, and we had a great holiday. The way everything was handled gave us confidence, and we’d happily book with them again.

Family Christmas Stay
We spent Christmas in Lanzarote with our family and really enjoyed the villa. It was very clean, well equipped, and felt like a proper home rather than just a rental.Daria explained everything clearly before arrival, and Angela checked in to make sure we were settled. The welcome pack was a nice bonus after travelling.Great choice for a relaxed family holiday.

It truly means a lot to us to know you had such a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thank you as well for your recommendation, it’s greatly appreciated.

Last summer we traveled to Marbella and…
Last summer we traveled to Marbella and rented a villa through Lodgerstrip for our holiday. We paid the full amount in advance – €9,250.
One day before our trip, we were informed that we would no longer be able to stay in the villa we had booked. As an alternative, they offered us a different villa and promised a €1,000 refund as compensation.
What makes this even more frustrating is that the alternative villa could have been rented on Airbnb for around €6,000, meaning we effectively paid about €8,250 for something worth much less.
To this day, we have still not received any refund, only repeated promises and excuses.
The most unbelievable part is that after all this, the company acts offended and tries to present themselves as the victim, even attempting to have negative reviews removed — while they have still failed to return our money. It has now been almost half a year without any repayment.
Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company. Be very careful when booking and paying large amounts in advance.

MULTIPLE PROFILES REVIEWING SAME SINGLE BOOKING"
CREATING A MISLEADING PICTURE FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS AND IS NOT A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF ONE CASE IN PROGRESS.
Thank you for your message. We understand your frustration and we take this matter seriously.
However, we need to clarify something important: based on the details provided (Marbella booking, €9,250, last-minute cancellation), this appears to relate to the same single reservation already registered under one lead guest, which has already been reviewed and responded to on Trustpilot and is being handled directly with the lead guest by email.
Leaving additional reviews under different names/accounts for the same booking — or via third parties who were not the contracting guest — creates a misleading picture for other customers and is not a fair representation of one case in progress.
Regarding the refund: we have been in continuous contact by email and a final refund date has already been confirmed, with the process currently underway due to operational and payment logistics.
If you are the lead guest for this reservation, please reply to our email thread so we can keep everything in one place and close this properly. If you are not the lead guest, we kindly ask that communication remains with the registered booker to avoid confusion and duplication.
Kind regards,
Lodgerstrip Customer Relations
Trustworthiness is a shaky issue here
Trustworthiness is a shaky issue here
Before considering this place, it is strongly advised to understand a potential risk of losing your vacation, as well as your money, and instead of getting your refund, only keep receiving unfulfilled endless promises for repayment…
Just one day prior to our arrival, they advised us about cancelling our booking with the reasoning that as they suffered a misconduct in their property by a previos rental group, they can not provide our already prepaid and booked accommodation.
Following this last minute cancellation on their behalf, they sent us an email claiming that a full refund had been issued and we would receive the money within 10 days. They even sent us the proof of the bank transfer, but the 9250€ refund has never arrived until now, i.e January 2026, so already 5 months have passed since the cancellation, without their repayment. They keep reasoning the non-fulfillment of the refund promises sometimes with technical banking issues that disabled them to transfer the money, another time with their operating cash-flow shortages, and so on, repeatedly promising new deadlines for the refund, which they never keep, then coming up with another excuse and another deadline, but the hard fact is that almost half a year has gone and up until now we still have not received back our money.
So if you consider this place, be very careful.

We take feedback seriously, but this review cannot be verified. We requested information (booking reference, dates, or proof of payment) and received NO RESPONSE.
The content also appears to relate to a single ongoing refund case already under discussion with the lead guest, and we ask that communication remains with the registered booker to avoid multiple reviews being posted for the same experience.
We strongly reject the accusation of “scam.” We are legitimate company and we are actively working to finalize the refund in line with the agreed process.

We paid nearly €10,000 in advance for a villa booked for August.
12 hours before arrival, they cancelled our reservation.
We were promised a refund, which has never been paid back.
Since then, they have been lying, delaying, and disappearing for weeks, ignoring messages and giving excuses when they do respond.
This was an extremely stressful and unacceptable experience.
I strongly advise everyone to stay away from this company

Our crew booked a villa through this company and prepaid the entire 10 000 euros in advance. The owner cancelled our reservation the day before our arrival and to this day they have not paid us back (it’s been 5 months) despite us contacting them multiple times. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

Scammers:
Scammers:
I am very disappointed with my experience with this agency. Our confirmed booking was cancelled by them less than a day before our scheduled arrival.
After the cancellation, we were told that our payment had been refunded, moreover they provided the proof of their refund however we never received a single cent. They explained that they were experiencing cash-flow issues and requested a 45-day period to process our refund.
It has now been more than three months, and despite countless emails and phone calls on our side, we have not received any refund. Only excuses that they have a negative balance. Furthermore, we were informed that we should not expect any refund in the near future.
Honestly, I do not care about their cashflow balance at all. I want my 9.250 € back that this scammer never refunded.

Dear reviewer,
We are sorry to read your comment and we take all feedback seriously. However, after carefully checking our internal records, we have not been able to match your name, booking reference, dates, or any payment of €10,000 to our system.
We have also observed that several newly created accounts posted identical or nearly identical reviews within a short period of time, which raises strong indications of coordinated misuse of the platform. For this reason, we have formally requested Trustpilot to verify the authenticity of these reviews and the identity of the user(s).
As a professional company, we always follow legal procedures for cancellations and refunds, and every confirmed booking in our system can be tracked transparently through our Guest App, contract, and bank records. If you are a genuine customer, we kindly ask you to provide the following so we can investigate properly:
Full name used for the reservation
Booking reference number
Payment receipt or transaction ID
Arrival and departure dates
You can contact our Customer Relations team directly at info@lodgerstrip.com
, and we will be happy to assist.
We value transparency, fairness, and professionalism. We will continue cooperating with Trustpilot to ensure that only authentic reviews remain published.
