Flatio is holding my money for a stay I never started – No support!

I booked an apartment through Flatio (Lease No. 2887673), but after issues arose prior to moving in, I was forced to cancel. Even though I never stepped foot in the property and the funds are currently held by Flatio, they refuse to process my refund or provide human support.
An agent named Monika completely stopped responding, and the platform has trapped me in an automated bot loop ever since. Flatio acts as a middleman to take your money, but when a dispute happens before move-in, they abandon all customer service responsibilities.
I am now filing an official complaint with the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (CTIA) against Flatio, s.r.o. and disputing the transaction with my bank. Avoid this platform!

This remote rental platform works very well. The whole process is simple, reliable, and convenient. I only wish Flatio were better advertised and more visible in online searches, as it deserves to be much better known. Thank you, Flatio!

Unreliable platform that profits from cancelled bookings while leaving guests stranded

Back in April, I booked two consecutive long-term stays in Greece through Flatio. The first stay went smoothly. However, just days before I was supposed to move to my second booking (Booking #47972484), the host unilaterally canceled without any valid contractual reason.

I was already in Greece with a dog, no car, and needed to stay in a specific area for commitments. Flatio refused to help me secure equivalent housing. I actually tried to use their offer to waive the service fee, but there were only two remaining listings on Flatio anywhere near my required area. One of them was 2300 EUR which I could not afford and the other one rejected me as it was already booked.

I was forced to book through Airbnb, where I had to beg a host to make an exception for my dog, as all other remaining properties were either miles away, prohibited pets strictly, or cost over €2,000.

Flatio refunded my original €900, but my new booking cost €1,800 (€900 direct financial loss). Flatio collects a 100% cancellation penalty from the host for this breach, yet they refused to use those funds to cover the price gap for my emergency replacement.

Flatio is fine when things go smoothly, but if a host cancels last minute, they will leave you stranded and out of pocket. I have filed an official complaint with the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (ČOI).

UPDATE 27. 8. 2026 After Flatio responded:

In their response, Flatio confirms the core problem: I, as the paying consumer who fulfilled 100% of my obligations, am the only party carrying the entire financial and logistical burden of this cancellation.

The Host faced zero consequences because Flatio voluntarily waived her cancellation penalty, citing interface/system confusion on their platform.

Flatio kept their standard business model intact and incurred no financial loss.

I, the consumer, was left stranded in a foreign country with a dog, forced to pay an additional €926.96 out-of-pocket for emergency replacement housing on Airbnb, as Flatio had no viable alternatives in the area.

Flatio's sole "solution" was waiving a service fee for listings that either didn't exist or were rejected, followed by an irrelevant suggestion to extend my current stay in a completely different location 1.5 hours away.

Flatio claims they cannot force hosts to honor bookings, but they systematically choose to absorb the host's fault while transferring 100% of the financial damage onto the guest. The case remains open with the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (ČOI).

Hello Denisa,

Thank you for providing us with your honest feedback. We’re very sorry that your second stay was cancelled by the host just 10 days before your scheduled move-in. We understand how difficult this must have been, especially when you were already in Greece, travelling with a dog and needed accommodation in a specific area.

As soon as we were informed that the host could no longer accommodate you, we initiated a full refund of everything paid to Flatio for the cancelled booking to make the refund process smooth and fast. We also offered to waive the service fee for a replacement booking made through Flatio. Unfortunately, only one available property on our platform appeared to meet your requirements, and we are sorry that this booking request was not accepted by the host.

We understand that you therefore had to look for accommodation elsewhere and that the alternative you found was considerably more expensive. However, Flatio is not able to reimburse the price difference between a cancelled Flatio booking and accommodation subsequently booked through another platform. The compensation we were able to offer in this case was the waiver of our service fee for a new booking through Flatio.

Please note that last-minute cancellations initiated by hosts are not a standard situation, and we aim to prevent them as much as possible. At the same time, if a host’s circumstances change and they inform us that they are no longer able to provide the accommodation, we cannot force them to accommodate a guest.

We would also like to clarify that Flatio did not collect a cancellation penalty from the host in this case.

We are genuinely sorry that despite the refund and our offer to waive the service fee, it was not possible to provide a suitable replacement property in your required area. If you would like to discuss the situation further with our support team, please feel free to contact us at support@flatio.com.

All the best,
Flatio team

I was a host on Flatio for a couple of…

I was a host on Flatio for a couple of years and every experience i had was worse than the previous one...until they tried to apply an extortionate charge (they call it a fine!), when i decided to leave altogether. Each booking was either a fake profile or some sort of dodgy profile. The first genuine one (and my last on this site!) Seemed ok until the issue with the website mulfunction and its flawed design caused confusion and left me and the guest in a very difficult situation. When asked to help, flatio was too quick to point to charges and completely ignored the points raised about the website flaws that lead to the situation. Let alone trying to take into consideration the difficult position i was put in by this confusion! I immediately requested to be removed from the site and i would like other potential hosts to think twice before signing up. The offer sounds too attractive to be true - and it is!!! You will be out of pocket sooner rather than later. Seek alternative, more eligible platforms!

Hello Goga,

Thanks for your feedback. We would like to explain what happened, for you and for anyone reading this.

No fee was ever charged. After reviewing the case, we decided not to apply anything.

Here is what happened. The guest sent two identical booking requests. You approved one, and our system automatically canceled the duplicate. That canceled duplicate is what you saw in your account. The approved booking and the agreement stayed valid the whole time, and our support team confirmed this to you several times. We understand this looked confusing, and we have passed it to our product team.

We do have a 30-day cancelation policy. If a host cancels close to the move-in date, the guest can be left with no place to stay. Here the guest wanted to keep the booking and travel as planned, so we followed the valid agreement.

About the profiles you mention – we filter spam automatically and block most of it before it reaches hosts. We also review accounts afterwards, and we keep improving both. A few messages still reached you, and we blocked those accounts as well. But not all requests were like that. You also received two booking requests from genuine guests, and each one expired without a reply.

If you would like to go through the case again, write to us at support@flatio.com.

Updated review after initial experience

After having a challenging time with the site and getting responses from those letting their apartments, I was able to locate what looks like a wonderful location in the center of Valencia. The host was responsive and friendly and made everything clear about the process.

The site is great, however some of the individuals with listings will reject you for no reason nor explanation, or not communicate back at all. That made for some frustration from the start.

I would suggest patience to find your spot. I would also ask Flatio to vet posters that do not represent their services well.

Customer support at Flatio is responsive and helpful.

I had a very positive experience using Flatio for my stay in Porto. The whole booking process was simple, clear, and well organized, and the platform made it easy to communicate with the landlord and manage all the details of the reservation.

I especially appreciated how transparent the information was and how straightforward everything felt, from choosing the apartment to completing the booking and managing the stay. The platform was user-friendly and gave me confidence throughout the process.

Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely use Flatio again for a future stay. I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and convenient platform for medium- or long-term accommodation abroad.

It's useless website

It's useless website - I completed my profile in 100% (picture, job description, debit card etc.) and have sent 5 booking requests, all of them were rejected without any reason or because the host didn't bother to answer. They have very strict rules to verify tenants but NONE for actually verifying if their hosts are serious people. Waste of time, go to airbnb or booking.com instead.

I use Flatio as a landlord

I use Flatio as a landlord and have been very satisfied with the platform. The website is highly professional, easy to navigate, and provides all the necessary information. The audience of prospective tenants it reaches is sufficient, and it is rare for our studio apartment to remain vacant.
Flatio provides comprehensive support throughout the lease agreement process, and the overall quality of customer service is high. I particularly appreciate the platform’s focus on medium-term rentals and on properties that offer a higher standard of accommodation and furnishings.
Another significant advantage is that tenants are not required to pay a security deposit, as this is replaced by insurance coverage. I also value the flexible pricing options, which allow me to set higher rates during periods of increased demand while offering incentives such as discounts for longer stays, last-minute bookings, and similar arrangements.
One feature I find missing is a dedicated mobile application. The commission charged by Flatio appears to be in line with the services provided; however, tenants occasionally express concerns about its level.
