I have been working with Uni places for many years. I had many bookings and in general all my tenants were respectful people. The only negative point is regarding the reviews. My tenants cannot leave... See more

Falsely advertised monthly rent prices and upcharged when booked. Refused to refund even when we provided all the evidence it was their fault and they stopped replying to emails.

Their website advertised the flat in Lisbon with variable rent. Booked the flat, when the invoice came out, it only showed the higher rent. They wouldn’t admit their website showed the wrong rent and wouldn’t give us a refund. I wish we’d never gone anywhere near them!

I had a great experience with Uniplaces, especially with their customer support. The team was always helpful, professional, and quick to respond whenever I had questions.
I would especially like to thank Gustavo, who went above and beyond by contacting me directly to help resolve my situation. His dedication, kindness, and commitment to providing excellent customer service made a real difference.
Thank you, Gustavo, and the entire Uniplaces team, for making the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Uniplaces!

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by Uniplaces. I strongly advise others to be cautious before booking through this platform, especially since they do not have a physical office or a customer support phone line.
I booked a room through their platform (Booking ID: 1188780) on 1 July 2026. The listing clearly stated that the room included air conditioning. However, there was no air conditioning at all.
I explained to the landlord, Maria, that I had recently undergone heart surgery and have a heart condition, so staying in an apartment without air conditioning during Lisbon’s heat wave was not safe for me. I even went to the police station, and the police contacted Maria regarding the issue. She informed the police that she had already cancelled the booking.
Despite this, Uniplaces is still holding my €1,296 and has not refunded my money. They also charged me €576 in service fees, even though the accommodation did not match the advertised listing and they failed to provide the service I paid for.
If it were possible to give a rating below zero stars, I would. This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. If my money is not refunded, I will pursue all available legal options, including taking the matter to court. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through the same experience.

Quick, clear and efficient booking. Appreciate that map view is available.

Booking with UniPlaces was a pretty seamless process, especially with the help of Joel, who went out of his way to ensure that I had all the help I needed, and was incredibly patient and understanding. Thank you so much Joel! It’s also a lot more efficient speaking to an actual employee rather than an AI bot like most websites.

My agent was Marta. Brilliant she was quick, efficient and handled every problem with care and integrity. She really helped with my visa application and booking.

Reply from Uniplaces
Marta was wonderfully help along the booking process and super prompt with all of my questions. She provided a range of options and clarified anything I needed on the shortlist.
I really appreciate her help in finding a place when it was very difficult elsewhere.
Go Marta!

Joel helped me a lot and my situation was not simple. Not Easy tò find a good budget room with my budget and further more only in certain parts of the city.

Finding accommodation through Uniplaces was much easier thanks to the personal assistance of one of their agents. They guided me through every step of the process, cleared up all my doubts, and helped me find exactly what I needed. Their support was very helpful and made the process much smoother. Recommended.

Giulia was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. She helped me deal with a difficult situation when I had problems with a landlord who was asking for unreasonable extra charges, and I eventually had to cancel the contract. Giulia then went above and beyond to help me find a new home that matched my needs. She always replied very quickly and answered all of my questions and concerns right away. I’m truly grateful for her excellent service. If I were managing this company, I would hire more people like Giulia. Thank you!
I would like to suggest introducing a clear framework for landlords to ensure they are not allowed to request any payments beyond what is stated in the contract before handing over the property.
In particular, requesting a security deposit before the property is actually delivered to the tenant feels completely unreasonable and unusual. This practice can create confusion and unfair pressure on tenants, and I believe it should be clearly regulated and prevented within the process.

Maria is an available person and she has a good ability in solving problems

Very straightforward process and safety mechanisms

Marta was extremely helpful when I trouble on the website and she helped me get a back up accommodation. She is also super friendly!

I think the cancellation policy is terrible because as a student coming from abroad, I'm left stranded when my visa isn't approved, but the speed of other assistance is great.
