1 cem9496  · We brought 5 years ago now temperature we can't adjust, it's worthless – Hisense fridge it's only 5 years old, now the temperature isn't working
4 Fiona  · Flat cleaners - good job – Arrived and did a good job quickly. Will see them again . Bring own cleans implements And materials.
5 Jojo  · Switched companies – We have just had our first clean from the team sent by Urban You and they were great. Attention to detail was outstanding.
5 Justine  · Amazing Job – The gardeners did an amazing job on my garden and cleaning my courtyard. Would use this service again, and recommend Urban You to everyone.
5 Alex  · Terrific job, great value – Totally was blown away by the quality of the cleaners. Much better than our regulars and would bring them back again.
5 Vanessa  · Excellent service! – Our cleaner was on time, polite and asked if there was anything special we required. He did a fantastic job.

Worst bond cleaning service ever – The worst service ever. I booked a bond clean and paid 10 days in advance. And then 2 days before I receive an email saying they cannot find any cleaners to do the job. I had to cancel and find new cleaners with one day notice, which I did whereas these so called professional couldn't... I do not recommend UrbanYou as they seem to be highly unreliable. I would give 0 star if I could.

Terrible service – Cancelled my end of lease clean the day before at 5.05pm because no cleaners could be found (despite booking 2 weeks in advance). Had to then arrange new cleaner with no notice. Conveniently their office hours are until 5pm so no one I could call… absolutely terrible and would never ever recommend.

Urban You Is A Scam

Poor clean, poor service, don’t care for customers – Paid for spring clean. Was told that a team would do the clean over 6 hours. 2 guys showed up with a mop and vaccum, no cleaning products. Left the house to them for 6 hours. Came back at 1pm, only 1 guy left and nothing in the house was clean. Told him to just leave and then cleaned the whole house down. When I asked for refund, they still… Read more

charged me $400 because the guys were at my property for 6 hours and only refunded me $385 after I sent through 35 photos of the house not being clean. It’s not 100 per cent customer satisfaction, don’t go with these guys, they’re a scam.

Satisfaction NOT Guarantee – I have used this service many a time with a great cleaner. She was unavailable when I decided to sign back up. I was happy to see this new cleaner they offered as I though the standard would be the same as my previous cleaner from Urban You. To my disappointment it wasn’t. She only came for 1.5 hours and bought a second person to help on the day… Read more

when the total clean was 3 hours.

I could only find that the cleaner ticked 5 of the 16 jobs for the normal house clean they advertised.

When I emailed them to discuss this they apologized for the subpar service. With their “100% satisfaction” advertised I was expecting to be reimbursed or credited for the next service. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. They would rather lose ongoing customers than actually following through with their guarantee.

If you hire them next time, make sure the cleaner knows what you expect and what the service has advertised. Ask for Sue if you’re in the Sydney eastern suburb area, she is a gem.

Absolutely disgusted with company – This company as a whole should be ashamed of themselves. I booked a move in/out clean for my new home as am heavily pregnant with a 2 yea old and 10 month old. The house needed attention to detail and complete sanitising. I noticed right away that they were using an old mop and rags from previous jobs. They did not touch the kitchen at all! It… Read more

was honestly so disgusting i took photos of everything and forwarded them to the company. I then had to push back my move so i could completely clean it myself. Plz nite this service cost me over $550 and the response i got was an offer of $45 and for the same cleaners to come back and reclean. Talk about customer service. An absolute joke and waste of time and money. If i could rate no stars i would. I strongly recommend going elsewhere as this company lacks integrity, professionalism and morals

Some of the worst service I've experienced – The service that we received from this company was deplorable, We paid $470 for a vacate clean and some other things. When the landlord did the vacate inspection after they had cleaned the property they sent us these photo's, we then contacted the company thinking this clearly shows that they didn't deliver on their guarantee and that they would… Read more

send another cleaner out to amend these issues. We had contact from Abby from the support team who had said that because 72 hours had passed they wouldn't amend these issues, even though she can clearly see the cleaning job was horrible.

I would encourage everyone who considers using this companies service to think again and consider other options!!

Very happy with my experience – I requested the end of lease clean. Someone called me to confirm exactly what I needed and she booked it in and I paid over phone. They subcontracted another company. The cleaners were on time, I showed them exactly what I needed and they understood and did it perfectly, they also offered to clean web and insects from the ceiling at no extra… Read more

charge, and I was told the job would take 5 hrs but they finished everything in 3.5 hrs. They also pointed out issues with the rangehood and mould growth and rot in certain areas of the house and advised how I can fix it. Would definitely use again.

Satisfaction guarantee is a process – Showed up late and did terrible job missed spots I'd specifically asked (paid extra) for. Then took nearly a week to respond to my complaint so i had to do it all myself then offered a tiny portion of sum paid as refund. When i asked for additional refund at least to cover the time i spent cleaning they just came up with excuses, eventually after much back and forth adequate refund was made.  Show reply

Unpleasant cleaning experience – I had an unpleasant experience with this service. It was two hours of “cleaning” a small apartment. The result, streaky window and glass surfaces, moved items/displaced items (not put back in place), dusty corners, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces, and some areas of the floors still dirty after a “mop”. I have requested many cleaners in the past… Read more

to clean and all have been great but this service by far was quite unacceptable. One star is because the ladies were polite. I gave my feedback and the service wanted to send the cleaners back at no cost after I showed some photos. I sent photos but I refused to have the cleaners come back. I also said I wasn’t asking for compensation. I will stick with Airtasker and chalk this down to a lesson learned to not use this service ever again. Oh and if you create a profile on their website you can’t delete it either.

Never ever use them again – I have been a customer of Urban You, a cleaning service provider, for some time now, and I must say that my experience has been quite disappointing. Initially, the service was satisfactory, although there were a few issues that bothered me. The cleaners refuse to take off their shoes, resulting in dirt being tracked onto my carpet. However, these… Read more

were relatively minor concerns compared to what followed.

On Tuesday, May 11th, I contacted Urban You to inform them that I needed to skip my last cleaning appointment. I was informed that if I canceled within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, I would be charged the full amount. Understanding this policy, I arranged for a friend to be present at my home during the cleaning. Unfortunately, Urban You still canceled my appointment without any notice and proceeded to charge me the full amount. This not only wasted my friend's time but also cost me money that I shouldn't have had to spend.

In my frustration, I called Urban You to address the issue, and they assured me that they would investigate the matter. I distinctly remember requesting that them to check the call record. However, the outcome of this investigation remains unknown, and I feel like my concerns were not taken seriously.

Adding insult to injury, just yesterday I booked another service for today at 4 PM. I patiently waited for two hours, but no one showed up. I received no phone calls or email notifications regarding any cancellation. When I tried to contact their service line, nobody answered. This level of unprofessionalism and lack of communication is completely unacceptable.

Given these repeated disappointments, I have reached a point where I can no longer tolerate the poor service provided by Urban You. I will not be using their services again in the future. The inconveniences, wasted time, and lack of accountability have left me thoroughly dissatisfied as a customer. I would strongly advise others to seek alternative cleaning service providers to avoid similar frustrations.

Never showed up- TWICE – I organised a clean on a Friday. No one came. I called. Lots of apologies and promises to come Monday - if possible. Notified by email Monday morning that my job had been “skipped”. No follow up call. No reason given. Nothing. Very unreliable and unprofessional business

The worst cleaning service I've ever used – Charged us an extra $30, saying the price we had paid through the website was incorrect, which we had to wait several days to be refunded. Got two confirmation messages with different times. Paid for 3 hours, but the cleaner snuck out without saying anything after 2 Asked them to focus on the bathrooms, but didn't clean the shower or one of the… Read more

sinks at all This last bit sounds so absurd I debated about including it in the review, but the cleaner took a beer from our fridge and drank half of it, leaving the half drunk can on the bench when they left.

SIMPLE...DONT USE URBANYOU! – From the time of booking this service was unprofessional. The cleaner cancelled hours before my clean. When I called the company they told me a different story to the cleaner...someone is telling lies? After many phone calls and emails I rebooked for the following week. Got an email to say cleaner(s) were booked for 8am. The cleaners arrived at… Read more

6.45am with no communication before hand. One of the cleaners did not have a clue everything she did I had to get the other cleaner to go back and do again. They packed the car and I had to chase them as they needed to clean the bathroom again!!! This was suppose to be a gift from my family and it turned into a nightmare...SIMPLE DONT USE URBANYOU!

Do not use urban you – Was supposed to be a one off spring clean. They didn’t clean the bathrooms and lots of other things not done . Have been arguing with company, who offered me refund of $50 (525 service) which they will refund to my credit card which they then told me they still had saved, despite turning off the recording when I had to pre-pay it!! They were supposed to be there for 10.5 hours but were not there that long. Very very dodgy.

Worst experience ever – I made a booking with Urban You for a cleaner 7 days in advance and then i got a text message the night before saying they couldn't find a cleaner for me and had moved the appointment back two weeks. I called them and asked to have it sooner as i had guests coming to stay the following weekend. They booked me in again for the following Friday… Read more

which was 8 days again from this booking. Had a couple of texts during the week saying they couldn't find a cleaner again and its now the day before the next booked clean and they have charged a payment for a clean my card. I thought great, they have found a cleaner so called them and they advised that no, still no cleaner had been booked and they wouldn't be getting one for this clean either. I asked about them taking my money and they advised that is the process. Stay away!

Don't touch them - hopeless service – I booked a clean at least a week in advance as I was going away and having people to stay in my house. I had to pay upfront on the day of booking. Price as not cheap but I figured it was worth it to secure the clean as last time I booked with Airtasker the cleaner let me down on the day and never arrived leaving me to clean the whole house… Read more

before my guests arrived. The booking was for 1pm and at 1.10pm I got a call from Urban Company to say that the cleaner had a car issue and that they could not make it. I also got an email from them saying the cleaner had a health issue so obviously it was all a lie. I told them that it was urgent that I got a cleaner and although the person I spoke to pretended to try and help me they were unable to get someone to come and so once again I ended up cleaning my house on the day of travel for my guests. They are clearly a joke and and I would most definitely NEVER use them again. Don't take the chance.

Unreliable. Charge before a service they never deliver – I made a booking and paid in advance and on the day of service the cleaner didn’t show up and they failed to send a replacement!! They don’t care about the time you waste waiting for their workers and prepping the place for the job to be done. They’d only offer a refund that won’t be paid for another 10 days. Stay away the most unreliable service ever.

Terrible - Unprofessional Office/booking Staff – Do not use this company. They send gardeners out in flooding torrential rain and charge you for the service, then try and make replacement last minute services on same days of flooding torrential rain. They do not answer phones or respond to text messages and then get upset and hang up when you raise your concern about the lack of professionalism with regards to the kind of bookings they make.

Avoid this company! – Review from Brisbane. Booked a week in advance, had a cleaner booked for 2pm - contacted the company at 11am to triple check that they were coming. By 2.45pm, the cleaner never showed up. Contacted the company who nonchalantly said they couldn’t get in touch with the cleaner and offered a reschedule. I had taken a half day and also had an… Read more

inspection the next day so this was a big inconvenience! Many reviewers here also report the same thing so I’m convinced this was not a “one off” mistake. They haven’t had a good google review in 2 years, go figure!

Do not use the services of UrbanYou! – We have recently relocated from Western Australia and unfortunately made the mistake of signing an annual contract with UrbanYou. We stipulated from the outset that we required a cleaner to attend to our property in the AM. Since the inception of our contract they have only been in a position to deliver the required service 3 times. With our last… Read more

clean, the two gentleman that attended to our property advised us that they unfortunately broke a glass bowl and a vase. How this could happen is still beyond us, but to make matters worse, they left after 75min having been paid for 2 hours. When we got back home, we had to phone them to return to the property as they have not even vacuumed the living room properly (to name the first thing we saw). Both cleaners had a terrible attitude towards us after being asked to return, stopping just shy of verbally abusing us.

When asked if they will resolve the issue re the broken items, we were told that they will refund us for our clean (as we are not happy) and that their insurance will replace the broken goods. That was the last communication we had from them. After a few days we followed up the matter with UrbanYou, who told us they were not aware of any issues. Since then, they have done nothing to replace the broken goods other than numerous phone calls + they charged us for another clean which they advised us they cannot fulfil!!! If you read the comments this seems to be their modus operandi, charge you in advance and then they cannot provide the service

We are bound by a contract with them but seeking legal advice as to their conduct.
