Called more than 10 times to extend the contract but every time they say next week and I hear nothing on email. I have also sent multiple times, I just think they are bad brokers. I hope the landlord doesn't work with another broker, they don't want to pay even one day late.

I recently moved to one of their properties in Enschede, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, their team showed exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. The entire process – from viewing the property to signing the lease agreement and setting up the home – went smoothly, transparently, and well-organized. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional housing solution in Enschede.

Very bad experience with this company. They do not respond to emails and fail to honor agreed promises. I had to wait 3 months for the refund of the deposit for my shop building. When it was finally paid, it turned out to be deposited into another tenant's bank account. Unbelievable! I would not recommend this company.

Hello, very incorrect agency, be careful, these are scammers.. Extremely bad and arrogant attitude! They do everything they can to not return the deposit, they try to charge all sorts of costs to the tenant. After two years of rent, we handed over the house as we had rented it out, and since then they have only been looking for an unreasonable reason not to return the deposit. In short, scammers! My advice is to have nothing to do with this agency! Hello, it's already been two weeks since I left the house! According to the law, you must refund my deposit within two weeks!!! During this time, you have not sent me a damage report and a washing machine technician report! If you don’t refund my deposit within two days, we will take legal action and see you in court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have only words of thanks for Eliza and Anne Marije; from the first contact I had with them, they were interested in my situation and advised me on a house that would meet my wishes. The communication flowed smoothly and efficiently despite the language barrier. Thank you for your patience and kindness in resolving all the doubts I had. In record time, we were already signing the contract with the owner of the house, where we finalized the details. They offered to help us hire services, as well as providing information and guidance on recycling, taxes, and even stores to buy furniture. Although they say that renting a house here in the Netherlands is a problem due to the difficulty, I would say that SMART WONEN is the solution.

I implore all people who are interested in renting from this company to stay away. This company has no respect for its tenants and will charge unlawfully high rents, while also charging screening costs that are also unlawful. They do not respond to requests to lower the rent and gain time. They use their position of power to abuse non-Dutch tenants who do not know their rights, by putting them in small studios and asking 700+ euros for 21 shameful square meters. Because this company has not complied with my requests for a settlement that would respect my rights as a tenant under Dutch law, I am now investigating legal proceedings against this company.

After approximately 4 months, I would strongly advise against Smart Wonen. Contacting them is very difficult. Firstly, they simply do not respond to emails at all. Unless you want to rent, that stops as soon as you sign your contract. In our case, Smart-Wonen is not the owner of our apartment. They form a buffer between me and the owner, so they remain anonymous. The consequence is that everything 'must be discussed with the owner', which makes everything take even longer. Everything they do in the house is as cheap as possible and of poor quality. I didn't give the lowest score because they eventually do solve problems. If something is broken, they repair it. It just takes a lot of time and effort to achieve this. They meet the absolute minimum of a somewhat responsible landlord.

I rented a room from Smart Rental Living in Valencia for a month and normally I don't write reviews, but they really deserve it. The communication was seamless, they always responded very quickly to my questions/needs and made sure everything was okay. I lost my keys once and they arranged a new set of keys for me the same day. I felt very comfortable and welcome every time I visited their office in the city. I would highly recommend everyone to book a room through them, they are truly the best! Thanks again for everything. I'm already planning to return! 😍

It was a great experience to find a room as an international student. You don't have to go through roommate interviews or something like that. Just go to the room viewing and if you like it, you can get the room. Saves a lot of time and effort with busy schedules. Big advantage: they don't care where you come from and what language you speak.

Update(2021): Very smooth and friendly move. The deposit was returned to me fairly and on time. Well done Smart-Wonen. 2019: Very unfriendly and unhelpful staff. They do not respect their customers. The electric boiler in my house broke down in the winter and this company did not want to help at all. After following up on the problem twenty times and sending several emails, they sent someone to repair it. We spent more than a week in our house without any heating. Every time we call this company for a problem, it takes more than a week before they find a solution. Their answer is that we need to get permission from the homeowner for the repair, who apparently doesn't want to pay a cent to solve the problem of his tenants. The staff of Smartwonen do not like helping. If you call them after two days for follow-up, their answer is that they can’t do anything more and that you are rude if you call them for the second time! (2020): Recently we have had a problem with the drain pipe of the kitchen sink which is blocked. It has been more than a week now that we cannot use the sink to wash our dishes, or turn on our washing machine and dishwasher. Again, the answer from SmartWonen is that they cannot solve the problem any faster. Their answer is that they have sent a form to a company with a request, and the company has not yet responded!!! If I ask them to call the company, the employees of SmartWonen (namely Elisa) say that you are rude for asking me to call them!!!! I can’t recommend SmartWonen at all. Initially we had another contractor for our house (Twents Vast) who was very friendly and helpful.

Internationals beware! Smart living is trying to scam people who don't know their rights. I rented an apartment through smart living. The viewing and signing of the contract went well, and I was satisfied with everything. After living there for a few months, the landlord told me that I had to move out. Because I knew my rights and tenant protection in the Netherlands, I refused. This was followed by several emails from slim wonen shamelessly lying to me via mail in an attempt to intimidate me. First, they tried to tell me that my contract was for a fixed period, which was not the case. I speak Dutch, and the contract, which was written in Dutch, clearly had the title 'indefinite term rental agreement'. Subsequently, they claimed that there was a duration of 12 months included in the contract, which was almost over, allowing the landlord to terminate the rental agreement according to smart living. Again, this was a lie from them, as the contract stated a minimum period of 12 months, which only means that the contract cannot be terminated before those 12 months, but does not automatically end after the first 12 months. After I explained why their claims were incorrect and showed that I was familiar with Dutch rental law, they did not send any new emails or follow up in any other way. The real estate agent of smart living shamelessly lied to me via email to get me to give up my rights to benefit the landlord. They tried to intimidate me, hoping that I wouldn't know my rights. Don't do business with slim wonen!

The rental process went quickly, but afterwards there was very poor communication, especially regarding the return of the deposit. It turns out costs were deducted without fault of the tenant. My mother, who is 81 years old, was locked outside due to someone else's fault on the balcony and then a locksmith had to come. The costs were acknowledged and therefore not reimbursed; in fact, costs were deducted from the deposit because another lock had to be installed afterwards. Again, there was no communication about this. After waiting for over 6 months, calling and emailing, I finally received the deposit minus the deducted costs. However, without any form of communication explaining why the refunded deposit was lower. The staff were helpful on a second occasion; we were able to pick up a spare key during the weekend.
