Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the payment processes, reporting unexpected charges and fees, often after an initial low-cost offer. Customers also frequently encountered issues with pricing, noting a lack of transparency regarding subscription costs and automatic renewals that led to much higher charges than anticipated. Reviewers found the subscription model confusing, with many struggling to cancel or unsubscribe, leading to ongoing deductions. The website itself was a source of frustration, as users reported difficulties with logging in, accessing receipts, and managing their accounts, further complicating cancellation efforts.

Outrageous unseful service

Outrageous unseful service

You will need to pay the linked agency sites to contact the landlords in addition to Rentola's fees.

The unsuscription proccess is extremely misleading. Even more, you feel gashlighted after cancelling the account for the second time.

They will send you emails till you paid their arguable service if you cannot prove you cancelled it.

Even more, they will use Intrum to send you emails with unjustified "Services Costs" increasing the debt amount after a few of their emails fell in your spam folder.

Borderline scam.

Borderline scam.

I signed up for $2 to access then the service was awful, it just linked my to estate agents, so they offered no unique, exclusive properties, just linked me to ones I could find on real state. Then they billed me for $65 twice. When I requested refund they declined.

They took $65 without me knowing and when I used the two emails I have to log in they both showed that I was on the free plan. No option to unsubscribe or contact them. I feel miserable trying to stop them from taking more money. NEVER USE THIS SITE!

Sucked in by the Rentola scam

Sucked in by the Rentola scam. What a joke that this is allowed to happen in 2026. $ 2 for $ 7 days and then bang a $ 65.00 charged with no warning and no information that you had actually signed up for an auto renewal. Contacted 3 real estate agents on the first day and received not even one reply. Seems the rental listings might even be part of the scam. STAY WELL CLEAR. #RENTOLASCAM

Misleading trial and unauthorised…

Misleading trial and unauthorised charge – be careful!

I signed up for Rentola’s 7-day free trial, but was charged $65 before the 7 days were even over no warning, no email, nothing. When I contacted support, they claimed the charge was valid because it was “after the full 7 days,” but it clearly wasn’t.

There was zero transparency about when the billing would actually begin, and their explanation doesn’t align with what they advertise. I cancelled as soon as I saw the charge, but they refused a refund and took no accountability.

This felt like a trap and judging by other reviews, I’m not the only one who’s experienced this. Very disappointing experience. Be cautious before putting in your card details.

I just trying to steal your money

I had that two dollar subscription as an offer. First it didn’t help much and after that, they charged me the premium subscription. I’m pretty sure I had already cancelled. But after realising that they already charged me for two subscriptions they didn’t want to refund me anything, though the second payment was even made after my cancellation.

A scam experience and useless site

I wanted to look at places to stay in Adelaide, but it turned out to be useless even after premium. It claimed rent at 700$/month that was 700$/week and confused the 2 constantly. They don't allow you to stop subscription (after also charging a small 2$ unexpected fee) immediately for you to forget about it, and then they take your money.

It’s a scam you will never get mail from house owners plus they will deduct money even if you will cancel trial

It’s a scam they are not able to cancel my membership , I cancelled my free trial but still they deduct money , Also they show money as per month but when you actually go down it’s per week so there is no transparency

I had a very negative experience with…they charged me 195 $


I had a very negative experience with Rentola.com.au. I entered my card number once for a small $2 payment, but they saved my card and started charging me $65 every month without my consent. On the website, it is not possible to cancel or remove your payment method. The terms and conditions seem to be accepted automatically during registration, without proper user control.
They also generate receipts automatically without any personal name or proper identification, and they don't send the reciept to you they kep on the website, making it difficult to track payments.
Be very careful: the service can generate recurring charges without warning, and the payment management is not transparent. My experience with Rentola was frustrating and disappointing.
