I booked a room on this site last week, the landlord has said that room and all available rooms are unavailable. I have written several mails to the team for cancellation and refund and no one has reached out or processed anything. If you are not scam please refund me my money £621, I need to book somewhere else and not be stranded! Booking #*******
Erasmusu is a total scam. They post pictures of unavailable accommodation to lure you into making an advance payment, then use totally false pretexts to justify keeping your €149 service fee after you request a refund.
If I get my service fee back, then I'll take down this review, because the people who work there were at least polite.
I booked a place in Slovenia, then did not like the place, cancelled the booking. I wrote many emails to get the refund or any response from the Customer support but nothing received! At least an email confirming my request would relieve me! I am still waiting so that i can use that money for another accomodation!

Dear Charlie,
Thank you for your review. To be honest, from the information you give us it is not possible to find your booking, in order to help you quickly.
If you could give us more information, we would appreciate it.
We would like to clarify that, like any other platform, it is necessary to read the Terms of Use (all the users are obliged to read and accept before making any booking). We would also like to clarify that, as indicated on the platform:
ERASMUS® is a registered trademark owned by the European Union and represented by the European Commission.
This website is just a Social Network or Online Community for international students and is not related in any way to the ERASMUS® trademark.
This website is not related to the European Union and the European Commission either.
We kindly ask you to consider this answer as evidence of our honesty. Please bear in mind that our only aim is to avoid misunderstandings.
We are always willing to help, and we are grateful that there is good cooperation on the other side:)

The owner did not respond in the 48 hours so like written on their website I asked for a refund. Then few days later they say "oh the owner say ok so you cannot have a refund" except that the delay was passed and that I asked for the refund right away so it should have been already done but the employee keeps putting it off and sends one email a day to the conversation to drag this matter for a long time... I'm still "fighting" to get my money back because I am apparently the only one who respects their rules this is ridiculous!
I really do not recommend this website, it is a disaster. Find another solution it will be safer for your money and your time...
I joined Erasmus as a premium member in May this year and advertised lessons online. When eventually I did receive interest in my ad I was asked to pay nearly 250€ to see who was interested, even though I am already a premium member. There is no way to contact the site owners to gain clarification. This is a scam and the site owners should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Do not have anything to do with them.
Good morning Damian,
Thank you very much for your review.
We are sorry to read your words. Kindly answer to our verification request so that we can have more information and check your case.

If I could rate it minus points I would... you have to pay for an accommodation which you may not get, so this is one months rent plus a booking fee (mine was £280). I received the months rent back after the landlord did not respond however my booking fee of £280 was not refundable. It was a total waste of my money and time, thanks for nothing!
So I reserved one of the offers in Erasmusu.com for a hostel in Madrid for the whole month of September, then when I got there, they got my credit card and charged me yet again, and I can't get in contact with anybody from their team to confirm a receipt so I can get a refund from the hostel.
Conclusion, it's not recommended at all to reserve anything on this website, zero feedback and I lost 350 euros.
I am Barış Şahin and I am an Erasmus student for the 2022 Spring Term.
Few days ago I made a booking for a flat with flexible refunding policy. In the website it says cleaning service and bills are included in the price. However, after I made the reservation, when the landlord reached me via e-mail he said no cleaning service + bills will cost 55 Euro.
My arrival date is 3 days and 1 month later and I have 3 days till my flexible refund option ends. And I am still waiting for erasmusu.com 's response to get a refund.
They do not check the information the landlords post, even the verified ones. If the landlord doesn't respond to your booking request (something commun in my experience) you immediately lost your money and time for at least the next 15 days, the refound policy is messy and delayed on propose so they can keep "helping you to find a similar place" 9/10 they will do nothing and they take like 2 days to find something that is not even useful.
Avoid if possible!
Dear Ian,
We are sorry to read this review, we always do our best to help everyone, unfortunately, sometimes there are no options that fit and of course, in these cases, the booking is cancelled and refunded.
According to the Terms of Use, read and accepted before booking, it is stated that payment is required to complete the booking. The owner has 48 hours before confirming (to check availability) and at all times the Erasmusu team offers its help to find a solution.
We have checked in the system and your booking has been refunded.
We hope you will find accommodation soon. If you need any help, here we are!
