While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

As a parent

As a parent, disappointing experience with Upkot Ghent.
Disputed damage charges were claimed, a document implying acceptance was requested to recover the deposit, written objections received no response, and the matter was escalated to a debt collection company without prior resolution.
Lack of transparency in the end-of-stay process.

Worst experience of my life

Forced to keep paying until the end of August even though my son is changing schools…
The room was tiny, and for €550 a month we expected much better. Especially since the kitchen was shared with eight people and was constantly in a disgusting state.
There were insects in the room due to poor window insulation, which let in the cold and kept the room freezing at all times.
Gnats were found in the shower even though my son had only been away for a week — I can only imagine the state of the plumbing.
The room was visited without any notice, meaning there was no privacy at all.
It feels like nothing more than an overpriced boarding house for what it offers. My son couldn’t go to bed early because there were parties every night despite repeated complaints.
In short: stay away!

Bad experience

Rooms OK but too expensive + mealworms in the kitchen + a lot of gossiping.
Unfortanely not "the time of your life" for our daughter....
