Terrible

Zero. Cleaner arrived and was shown where everything he needed was. He walked out after 10 minutes with no communication whatsoever. Contacted customer service who were no help at all, ironically. They told me they are not responsible for the cleaners or their actions. So beware. Could be anyone entering your house.

Dear Kate,
We're really sorry for your experience.
The cleaners are all self-employed, that's why we can't control their actions when they arrive to a customer's home.
If you feel like the person is not the one you booked, you can ask them to provide some ID before letting them in.
We definitely understand your frustration and we apologize.
Thank you, Helpling Team

Good job done

Horrible customer service and horrible cleaning

We used helpling for the first time yesterday. The cleaner showed 15 minutes late as she was lost which we were very understanding about. We showed her the kitchen and all the cleaning products we had. She worked for an hour and a half in the kitchen and then left without saying anything (and when we looked at the kitchen after it did not appear as if it had been cleaned for an hour and a half). Instead of asking where the bins were she threw a sponge away in the kitchen counter compost bin. We checked in on her twice to see if everything was going OK or if she needed anything and when we contacted customer service she told them that she left because we had shouted at her which was a lie and also told them that she got there on time which was also a lie even if she was only late because she was lost she was still late.

If I could give this Company -5 stars

If I could give this Company -5 stars, I would! Booked a cleaner who came to my house, she was friendly but could not speak a word of English and tried to communicate with me through a translation app. I booked her for 2.5 hours and I have a small 3 bedroom terraced house. She only managed to clean the kitchen and the living room and half the hall in that time. She yanked up the blinds on my back door and broke one of them. She had already left before I noticed the damage. I contacted the Customer service team immediately, logged a case on their app and also sent chat messages. They came back to say that they only deal with claims above €500 and that all the cleaners are self-employed (not by them) and that I would need to pursue the cleaner herself! I have no contact details for the cleaner as it’s all booked through the Helpling app. Stay well clear of these people as they charge full price for half a job and then run a mile when there’s damage caused to your property!

Dear Ursula,
We are really sorry for your experience but everything you mentioned is clearly stated on our website and T&C: the providers are self-employed, the insurance only covers damages above 500€ and - in case the damage is less than that - we can only support in the communication between customer and provider about it.
The chat feature is exactly what you need to contact your cleaner with your request or you can use the info you can find on the service invoice and send a letter to their home address.
The support team is always available to help the communication, so don't hesitate to contact them.
For the matter of the language spoken by the cleaner, they showed great problem-solving by using a translation app: the important thing is always understand each other, no matter what's the medium used.
Thank you, Helpling Team

Lack of support and poor service

My elderly parents booked a cleaner for specific dates/frequency. The cleaner didn’t show up the first week, was late the next booking and showed up unexpectedly the next week on an unplanned date. My father sent multiple emails to support and got no answer. The cleaner had no English which is fine but there was no way for them to communicate what jobs needed to be done. I would have expected the agency could take and give direction in advance for this use case - for example my mum pointed out the bed sheets as they had visitors coming and the cleaner didn’t make the beds or do anything in the bedrooms. She spent 3 hours each time only working on bathrooms. After the first visit I went to the house and found the kitchen filthy. It’s a small house for 3 hours of incomplete cleaning overall. I’m helping my father to cancel this service - and amazed support don’t respond.

Dear Lisa,
We are really sorry about this experience and we can assure you that we normally reply to all emails within 24 hours, so something is definitely off if you haven't received any answer until now.
Please, double check that you wrote to info@helpling.ie and also check your spam folder: sometimes our emails end up there.
We are committed to find a solution with you and your parents, so please contact the support team once again and rest assured that we will do our best to support you!

Awful cleaning & customer service by Helping

Thought it was going to be a very good service - unfortunately was mistaken - the cleaner was 45 minutes late and didn't do a good job (left vacuum, mop etc out), was very slow - 2.5 hours for a 1 bedroom flat that gets cleaned weekly... no oven or deep cleaning either. Anyways - cancelled and then they went and charged my card (without my authority). When I cancelled there was an option to select another cleaner, I chose against this as my initial few choices weren't available, or it actually goes whoever accepts it first gets it.. not really a 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice. Customer service is really awful, I'm sure they'll respond quoting the emails they've sent me but would highly recommend not using the platform.

Dear LD,
It seems there are 2 different topics about your review:
- The provider didn't meet your expectation: that's something we can help mediate but in the end, as providers are self-employed, they are directly responsible of the cleaning and we can't disregard their position if - for example - they say the contrary or offer compelling proofs.
- You got a charge that you weren't expecting: that could be the cancellation of a discount meant only for recurring orders. Other than that, there are no other possible charges.
We would love to help you find a solution: please refer to our customer support if you'd like to get more detailed answers specific to your case.
Thank you, Helpling Team

Quality for the cleaner was really…really poor

Quality for the cleaner was really poor, didn’t know the basics and was very inefficient and poor quality — half arsed in all tasks. Wouldn’t recommend.

Communication

There is good communication from the company about my bookings and payments. The cleaners I have booked have been very diligent and excellent representatives of the product Helpling is selling. I was clear on my expectations which I believe helped.
