Cohabs Reviews 78

Malgré un retard important concernant les travaux pour la maison dans laquelle je vais emménager, Judi et Louise ont fait en sorte de trouver une solution viable, adaptée et flexible. Un grand merci pour ce service de qualité :)

Simple rapide et efficace

Mathew was amazing and helped a ton with the process.

L’endroit et la convivialité avec les autres colocataires sont très bien. En revanche, dès que l’on dépend de Cohabs pour le moindre problème, le service devient catastrophique.

Cela fait maintenant 7 jours que nous n’avons plus d’eau chaude dans la maison. Depuis, Cohabs ne fait qu’envoyer des personnes sans les compétences nécessaires pour réparer le problème. À chaque intervention, il manque une nouvelle pièce qu’il faut commander, puis revenir le lendemain, sans aucune solution concrète.

Cela donne vraiment l’impression d’un manque d’efforts et d’une volonté d’économiser au maximum. Le plombier lui-même a expliqué qu’il pouvait réparer le problème immédiatement, mais qu’il ne le faisait pas parce que Cohabs ne voulait pas “perdre la garantie”. Résultat : 21 personnes se retrouvent sans eau chaude, en plein hiver belge.

Had great contact with Antoine and Benjamin who helped me very kindly with finding a room in Brussels. They were very flexible and helpful in arranging an agreement for me. Quick responses, so so far so good!

Good ratio quality /price
Community events
My daughter loved it

The DC house was not a good experience for me. It is over priced for the service received. For example, It was mentioned that we would receive coffee and monthly breakfast as part of our rent. I stayed 3 months, the breakfast came only once and we were always on a shortage of coffee. The app doesn’t work well and the company was always reclaiming extra payments due to technical issues that were never fixed. It’s taken me over 3 weeks to get reimbursed for an extra payment I did due to their app, and it is still not fixed. I would not recommend cohabs unless you need temporary accommodation and have low expectations.

I’m about to move into a cohab with Coabs and so far the experience has been really great. They supported me throughout the whole process of finding the right place. My contact, Matthieu, was super helpful: he sent me plenty of options until I found the perfect one and even accompanied me to visit several houses. The whole process was smooth and straightforward thanks his support. So far, I’m really satisfied!

Jai été dans un cohabs pendant un an, je ne peux que le recommander !
Une entreprise à l'écoute et très réactive, un accompagnement au top et à l'écoute du client, des événements incroyables et des collocataires exceptionnels qui ont su m'intégrer et avec qui j'ai créé de vrais liens.
N'hésitez surtout pas à passer par Cohabs pour votre futur logement !

J’ai eu la chance d’être tombé sur Matthieu qui s’est bien occupé de moi chez COHABS. Très à l’écoute et dans la communication, Matthieu a très bien géré mon dossier et m’a présenté le projet COHABS sous toutes ses formes ce qui m’a plu immédiatement ! J’ai eu la chance de le rencontrer lors de ma visite dans le living à Germoir, j’ai été très vite conquis par les lieux. L’expérience a été très positive, je pourrai recommander à n’importe qui de tenter l’aventure COHABS parce que tout est mis en place pour te faciliter le quotidien et te sentir comme chez toi

J'ai passé quelques mois dans une maison Cohabs et, honnêtement, c’était une super expérience. L'arrivée est hyper facile : tout est prêt, propre, et on se sent vite chez soi.

Ce que j'ai préféré, c'est l'ambiance. On rencontre facilement du monde, on partage des moments sans pression, et ça rend la vie quotidienne beaucoup plus agréable. Les services inclus (ménage, maintenance, etc.) enlèvent beaucoup de charge mentale aussi.

Si vous cherchez un endroit simple, chaleureux et pratique où vivre, Cohabs est vraiment une très bonne option.

My two-month stay on Rue Josaphat in Brussels was incredibly disappointing. Despite the promising pictures on the website, the reality was far from what was advertised. The private room was in a dismal state: the pinboard was broken, walls were marked with handprints and stains. The table lamp was broken, the heating barely worked, and the insect screen had holes. Even the curtains were stained.

The shared spaces were barely usable. The TV room had cushions that were stained and worn-out. Throughout the house, old items left by previous tenants cluttered the place, not matching the advertised images on the website. The living room sofas were worn-out, and missing furniture items were shown in the website photos. The fitness room had an overpowering plastic smell.

The kitchen was the worst part: flies came out from every corner including the dishwasher, the fridge was covered in grease stains, and my own space was handed over dirty.

To top it off, I strongly suspected there was mold in my room, as I had a severe allergic reaction that required hospitalization. Despite multiple requests, I was not offered any compensation.

While the Cohabs app and organizational structures seemed good on paper, they were impractical and failed to meet real-life expectations.

Great concept and community of people! But service quality by cohabs is poor (with some exceptions), especially for the price, and they don’t seem to care to improve it. Staff is very unresponsive and passive, so it becomes the customers' job to push them to solve issues, some of which are still standing many months after appearing (such as a nasty smell coming out of the sewage that affects the whole house and many rooms).

West Hampstead 75 - Terrible! The accommodations offered and advertised are far from what they promise. Safety concerns ( fire doors unfinished open access to the house premises by strangers), unannounced entries, late uncontrolled parties, terrible internet access and a mix of age groups despite advertising the premises as for over 30’s. Last but not least a massive bed bug escalation totally out of control forcing tenants to stay regularly out of the house. All these repeated disruptions are the norm and far from what is promised by the landlord.

I've lived in Cohabs for 2 months in Brussels. In Cohabs I really felt home. I loved the house vibes, all the community events, and the support from the team was really efficient and helpful.
I would really recommend it when moving to a new city!

Super expérience au sein d'une maison Cohabs à Bruxelles! Concept qui permet de faire de belles rencontres et de partager avec des personnes d'environnements complètement différents!
L'équipe Cohabs est très réactive et toujours présente, un grand merci !

During the stay, overall was great. However, the move out was a bit rush and specially troubled as I still don't have my deposit back.

It's 3 weeks, I hadn't received any email informing about that and if I didn't have a friend that works for you who knows how would I get my money back? I tried to open a ticket, which also didn't work.

The money will be given back 4 weeks after the move out that, which is a complete disrespect for who buy your services.

I had amazing moments with my housemates, and for that I thank cohabs for the experience. But more than once I had trouble with cohabs' inefficiency and disorganization.

Good for short stays
I arrived at Cohabs at a time where the requirements for the move in were quite easy and convenient for me, and having everything furnished was also super. I met a lot of people who I cherish/ed a lot, and the service was quite good at the time. After around 6 months everyone noticed a decline in the quality of the service provided, and people who would stay only 2-3 months would be accepted. This is something that most people who stay max 6 months won't feel, but living with 37+ different people in a year and a half is too much for anyone (this alone made me want to leave asap). Also around the beginning of 2025 we started having a lot of construction with minimal warning, and way too many visits and rooms being entered by staff sent by Cohabs with also minimal to no warning at all.
Despite this, and some other instances where communication wasn't the best, I'd rate my experience overall on the positive side, as I was able to have a space when I needed it, and I didn't need to worry about amenities most of the time. For the price and considering all of what I've just said, it's great for shorter stays, would not recommend for more than 6 months whatsoever. The kitchen was awesome tho!

Antoine answered all my questions and guided me to choosing the best option for accommodation throughout my stay in Brussels. It was easy to communicate with him overall.

J'ai passé un formidable séjour dans une maison de Brussels, je n'en suis que ravie ! Beaucoup plus rentable qu'une location chez un particulier où il y a tant de frais cachés et ce pour une qualité et un confort de vie bien moindre. D'une façon générale c'est un mode de vie très inspirant, j'ai beaucoup apprécié vivre dans cette atmosphère internationale, tout le monde était très respectueux. Hâte de revenir dans une maison Cohabs quelque part dans le monde!
